Care and Maintenance
•
If an odor persists after
cleaning vomit or urine, treat
area with a water-baking soda
solution: 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters)
baking soda to 1 cup (250
milliliters) of warm water.
•
Finally, if needed, clean lightly
with a fabric cleaner (solvent
type).
Combination Stains
These include 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 with a
fabric cleaner (solvent type).
Cleaning Vinyl or Leather Trim
Ordinary soilage can be removed
from vinyl or leather with warm
water and a mild soap such as
saddle soap, oil soap or
equivalent.
•
Apply a small amount of soap
solution and allow it to 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
repeated several times, if
necessary.)
•
Some compounds such as tar,
asphalt, shoe polish etc. will
stain if allowed to remain on
trim. They should be wiped off
as quickly as possible and the
area cleaned with a clean cloth
dampened with vinyl cleaner
(solvent type).
Seat Belt Care
•
Clean seat belts only with mild
soap and lukewarm water.
•
Do not bleach or dye belts
since this may severely weaken
them.
