Exterior & Interior Care - 3
NOTE
Before using any solution to clean
the tile, check the manufacturer’s
warning label to ensure safety of the
product. If there is any doubt, apply
several test patches of the solution in
an inconspicuous place to determine
product suitability.
Grout:
Typical grout is a two part concrete mix
and can develop surface cracks over time. In
motorhome application, due to the constant
flexing of the flooring, this process may
accelerate. If the grout requires cleaning, scrub
with a plastic brush.
DO NOT use steel wool
as small particles may remain and produce
unsightly stains.
Sealing the Tile:
Gourt sealers are available that protect the
porous surfaces. If a sealer is used, follow the
sealant manufacturer guideline for application.
Never use sealers on unglazed tile. With the
exception of terra-cotta, which may be oiled
or waxed, tile does not need to be polished or
buffed to maintain its finish.
Apply sealant to the tile floor and grout
to prevent discoloring from soils and spills.
Follow the sealant manufacturer’s application
instructions carefully.
CAUTION
Open windows, vents and doors to
provide adequate airflow during
sealant application.
NOTE
It is recommended to test a small
amount of sealant on an inconspicuous
area before applying to the entire floor.
Avoid getting sealant onto surfaces
other than the flooring.
To Apply:
1. Extend slide room(s) and clean floor.
Allow floor and grout to thoroughly dry.
2. Working from rear towards doorway,
apply sealant direct from container
onto a cloth towel or broom handle
applicator. Grout sealant applicators are
available at large hardware stores.
3. Apply only enough sealant to wet
surface.
DO NOT allow sealant to
puddle in grout lines. Extra care should
be used to make sure all grout has
been sealed. Only one application is
necessary.
4. Allow five hours to dry. Sealant will
cure in approximately 72 hours.
NOTE
If a spill occurs before sealant has
cured, it may be necessary to clean and
additionally treat area with sealant as
needed.
Laminate Floor
Laminate flooring used in the motorhome
provides style, durability and ease of
maintenance. This high-pressure laminated
flooring is designed to be incorporated as a
floating floor.
Laminate flooring is constructed of three
main material components. The surface,
similar to many countertops, contains
aluminum oxide particles to form an extremely
hard, durable outer layer. The carrier, or
core layer, is constructed from high density
fiberboard. A tongue and groove design
provides a tighter bond. The backer or bottom
layer is also made of laminate for strength.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
For everyday cleaning, vacuum the floor to
remove dirt and debris. It is recommended
to occasionally mop the floor using a cotton
string mop and a minimal amount of water.
Use a mixture of soap-free household cleaner
(either vinegar or ammonia work well) and
water for a more thorough cleaning.
SHOWER
Showers are susceptible to soap build-up. To
control mildew growth, spray the shower with
household chlorine bleach. Allow it to stand
for five minutes, then rinse with clear water.
Clean the glass shower doors with window
cleaner on a weekly basis to maintain shine.
If water spots cannot be removed from glass,
rub lightly with the flat edge of a razor blade to
remove deposits.
To prevent excessive moisture and a
continual growth of mildew, use the shower
only with adequate ventilation. The sealant in
a regularly used shower should be replaced
once a year. To replace sealant, remove the old
sealant using a sharp non-metallic instrument.
Apply a new sealant, which can be found at
most recreational vehicle supply stores.
