18.8.1 Regular cleaning
)
Clean or vacuum the fabric bellows and mosquito net with a soft brush at regular intervals when they are dry.
Recommendation: after every long journey where the pop-up roof was used and at the end of the camping
season.
)
Minor contamination of the fabric bellows can either be dabbed off using a damp sponge (do not rub), carefully
be removed using a colourless eraser with little pressure or rinsed with lukewarm water (max. 35 °C).
)
In the case of large areas of contamination, clean the fabric bellows with a mild soap solution (e.g. solution of soft
soap and water at approx. 35 °C). Apply the cleaning solution over a large area with a spray bottle. Allow the solution
to soak in for approx. 5 minutes and then rinse thoroughly with fresh water until all residues of the cleaning agent
have been removed. Repeat the procedure if necessary.
)
After cleaning, allow the fabric bellows to fully dry, preferably in the sun.
18.8.2 Removal of stains
There are special cleaners for every type of stains. They can contain aggressive solvents that can cause changes in colour.
Skin contact can cause allergic reactions. Their use may also lead to irritation of the eyes, mucous membranes or respiratory
tract. You should therefore avoid using these agents if possible. If you want to use these agents, check whether the agent
is suitable for the intended purpose and observe the manufacturer's processing instructions.
)
In the case of larger contamination, clean with a mild soap solution (e.g. solution of soft soap and water at approx.
35 °C). Foam up the cleaning solution by soaking and squeezing out a sponge and apply the foam to the stain. Allow
the solution to soak in for approx. 15 minutes and then rinse thoroughly with fresh water until all residues of the
cleaning agent have been removed. Repeat the procedure until the stain is removed.
)
If stains cannot be removed in this manner, they can be dabbed with benzine and a clean, dry, absorbent cloth.
Test this at an unnoticeable spot to see if the colour of the fabric bellows changes due to the benzine.
Avoid rubbing movements if possible. If rubbing cannot be avoided to treat a large stain, rubbing in circular move-
ments should always be done from the inside out to avoid stain edges.
18.8.3 Information on mould formation
Deposits (dirt) on the surface of the fabric bellows can form mould. The visible black deposits are excretions of the moulds.
Therefore these deposits must be removed as soon as possible.
Even after cleaning, the moulds may appear again after some time.
)
Dirt particles, moisture and heat easily lead to the formation of mould by bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms.
Therefore, do not store contaminated fabric bellows folded or bundled together in a wet condition for a long period
of time.
