Interior Care
Carpeting
Vacuum the carpeting frequently
to remove dirt. Ground-in dirt will
make the carpet wear out faster.
Periodically shampoo the carpet
to keep it looking new. Use one of
the foam-type carpet cleaners on
the market: Follow the
instructions that come with the
cleaner, applying it with a sponge
or soft brush. Keep the carpeting
as dry as possible by not adding
water to the foam.
Fabric
Vacuum dirt and dust out of the
material frequently. For general
cleaning, use a solution of mild
soap and lukewarm water, letting it
air dry. To clean off stubborn
spots, use a commercially-
available fabric cleaner. Test it on
a hidden area of the fabric first, to
make sure it does not bleach or
stain the fabric. Follow the
instructions that come with
the cleaner.
Vinyl
Remove dirt and dust with a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe the vinyl
with a soft cloth dampened in a
solution of mild soap and water.
Use the same solution with a soft-
bristle brush on more difficult
spots. You can also use
commercially-available spray or
foam-type vinyl cleaners.
Seat Belts
If your seat belts get dirty, you can
use a soft brush to clean them
with a mixture of mild soap and
warm water. Do not use bleach,
dye, or cleaning solvents. They
can weaken the belt material. Let
the belts air-dry before you use
the car.
Dirt build-up in the metal loops of
the seat belt anchors can cause the
belts to retract slowly. Wipe the
inside of the loops with a clean cloth
dampened in mild soap and warm
water or isopropyl alcohol.
