CLEANING THE INTERIOR
WARNING:
Do not use cleaning solvents, bleach or dye on the
vehicle’s safety belts, as these actions may weaken the belt
webbing.
WARNING:
On vehicles equipped with seat-mounted airbags, do
not use chemical solvents or strong detergents. Such products
could contaminate the side airbag system and affect performance of the
side airbag in a collision.
Note:
Follow the same procedure for cleaning leather seats when
cleaning leather interior.
See Cleaning Leather Seats
.
Note:
Do not use household cleaning products or glass cleaners, which
can stain and discolor the fabric and affect the flame retardant abilities
of the seat materials.
For fabric, carpets, cloth seats, safety belts and seats equipped with side
airbags:
•
Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
•
Apply a layer of high quality foam cleaner designed for automotive
interiors, such as Motorcraft Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner, to the
dry stained area(s) of the item you are cleaning and let it soak in for
one minute.
•
If grease or tar is present on the material, spot-clean the area first
with Motorcraft Spot and Stain Remover. In Canada, use Motorcraft
Multi-Purpose Cleaner.
•
If a ring forms on the fabric after spot cleaning, clean the entire area
immediately (but do not oversaturate) or the ring can set.
•
Do not use household cleaning products or glass cleaners, which can
stain and discolor the fabric and affect the flame retardant abilities of
the seat materials.
