STORAGE & MAINTENANCE

Grease spots and stubborn dirt can be 
cleaned off with an all-purpose spray cleaner. 
Harsh cleaners and organic solvents can 
attack the printed vinyl; they are not 
recommended.

To keep hardwood doors, cabinet fronts and 
hardwood tables looking like new regularly 
dust with a soft cloth dampened with a 
cleaning polish or mild detergent solution. 
Avoid using ammonia based products or 
silicone oils as they may cause damage if 
used over a long period of time. The finish is 
durable and resistant to most household 
spills. However, spills should be wiped up 
promptly to avoid potential problems. 
Excessive prolonged exposure to direct 
sunlight, high temperatures and high humidity 
can cause damage to both the finish and the 
wood itself. These should be avoided. 
 

C

OUNTERTOPS 

 

Glass rings, food spills, water spots and 
smudges usually wipe off with a damp 
sponge. Stubborn stains can be removed with 
a general-purpose spray cleaner. Some 
stains can be removed by squeezing fresh 
lemon juice over the stain and allowing the 
juice to soak for approximately forty-five 
minutes. After 45 minutes, sprinkle baking 
soda over the lemon juice and rub with a soft 
cloth 

To prevent permanent damage 

‰

 

Always use hot pads or trivets under hot 
pans, dishes, or heat producing 
appliances such as frying pans. 

‰

 

Always use a cutting board; never use a 
knife on the countertop. 

‰

 

Avoid harsh chemicals such as drain 
cleaners, oven cleaners, etc. 

‰

 

Do not let cleaners with bleach set on the 
top. Wipe them off promptly. 

 

F

LOORING

 

Remember to wear rubber gloves to protect 
your hands when cleaning. Always test a 

cleaning agent in an inconspicuous area for 
colorfastness. 

Carpet (if so equipped) 

Vacuum regularly with a vacuum cleaner with 
a revolving brush or beater bar. Be sure the 
vacuum does not have teeth, combs or rough 
edges as they may damage the carpet. It is 
important to remove loose soil and debris 
while it is on the surface. Heavily traveled 
areas (i.e., walkways, areas in front of the 
furniture) may be protected with small throw 
rugs to prolong the life of the carpet. Some 
spills contain chemicals that will destroy 
carpet fibers and dyes. If you have doubts 
about what caused the spot, contact a 
professional carpet cleaner.  

Because of the additional dirt typically 
associated with camping, we recommend that 
you vacuum the carpet frequently. Have 
tough and deep stains professionally steam 
cleaned. Use spot removers for minor spills. 
Always test the carpet for color fastness in an 
inconspicuous area before using any 
product.. 

Vinyl flooring (if so equipped) 

Periodically vacuum or sweep to remove dirt 
and gritty particles. Although most common 
spills will not permanently stain the vinyl 
floors, they are usually easier to remove if 
wiped up before they set. Simply blot with a 
paper towel and wipe clean with a damp 
cloth. As part of a regular maintenance 
program, sponge mop the entire floor. Do not 
use dish detergents or vinegar and water 
because they will dull your floor. 

To care for the vinyl floor covering, use a 
damp mop with water and a mild cleaner. DO 
NOT SOAK THE FLOORING. Use care to 
avoid wetting the carpet edges. To avoid 
problems of “yellowing” linoleum, the flooring 
OEM recommends avoiding cleaners that 
contain oil based solvents (i.e. cleaners 
containing lemon oil, Murphy’s Oil Soap, etc.).
