Vehicle Care
"feathering" towards the center.
Keep changing to a clean
section of cloth.
.
When you clean a stain from
fabric, immediately dry the area
with an air hose, heat dryer,
or heat lamp to help prevent a
cleaning ring. (Use caution with
heat dryer or lamp to help
prevent fabric damage.)
.
If a ring forms, immediately
repeat the cleaning operation
over a slightly larger area with
emphasis on "feathering"
towards its center. If a ring still
remains, mask off surrounding
trim sections and clean the
entire soiled area with foam type
cleaner.

Removal of Specific Stains
Greasy or Oily Stains
–
Includes
grease, oil, butter, margarine, shoe
polish, coffee with cream, chewing
gum, cosmetic creams, vegetable
oils, wax crayon, tar and asphalts.
.
Carefully scrape off excess
stain; then use solvent type
cleaner.
.
Shoe polish, wax crayons, tar
and asphalts will stain if left on
trim; they should be removed as
soon as possible. Use care as
cleaner will dissolve them and
may cause them to "bleed".
Non-Greasy Stains

Includes
catsup, coffee (black), egg, fruit,
fruit juice, milk, soft drinks, wine,
vomit and blood.
.
Carefully scrape off excess
stain; then sponge the stain with
cool water.
.
If a stain remains, use
Multi-Purpose Powdered
Cleaner (Foam type) as
previously described.
.
If an odor lingers after cleaning
vomit or urine, treat the area
with a water-baking soda
solution: 5 milliliters (1 teaspoon)
of baking soda to 250 milliliters
(1 cup) of lukewarm water.
.
Finally, if needed, clean lightly
with Fabric Cleaner
(Solvent type).
Combination Stains
–
Includes
candy, ice cream, mayonnaise, chili
sauce and unknown stains.
.
Carefully scrape off excess
stain; then clean with cool water
and allow to dry.

If stain remains, clean it with
Fabric Cleaner (Solvent type).
Cleaning Vinyl Trim
Ordinary soilage can be removed
from vinyl or leather with warm
water and mild soap, such as
saddle soap or oil soap, or an
equivalent.
.
Apply a small amount of soap
solution and let it soak for a few
minutes to loosen dirt; then, rub
briskly with a clean, damp cloth
to remove dirt and traces of
soap. This may be done several
times, if needed.
