Mini-Blinds
Dusting:
Regular dusting will maintain the appearance
of the mini-blinds. Keep aluminum blinds
looking their best by periodically wiping with
a soft cloth or a dusting mitt. By tilting the
slats down, not quite closed, most of the top
surface of each slat can be cleaned. Blinds may
be cleaned while hanging in place using this
method.
Vacuuming:
For deeper cleaning, vacuum gently with the
soft brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
Compressed Air or Hair Dryer (non-heat setting):
Blow dust off each slat. Dust will be air-borne
using this method so ventilate the motorhome.
Spot-Cleaning:
Spot-clean shades and blinds using a soft cloth
or a moistened sponge with lukewarm water.
Add mild detergent, if needed. Blot gently to
avoid creasing. In a dusty environment, the
blinds may need to be cleaned regularly using a
sponge or dampened soft cloth. Use warm (not
hot) water and a mild detergent that does not
contain abrasives. Rinse the blinds using a clean
cloth and water to prevent water spots. Place a
towel directly under the blinds to absorb water
that may drip.
Ultrasonic cleaning:
Professional ultrasonic cleaning may be
preferred.
Day/Night Shades
Guidelines for care and maintenance of
polyester blended day/night shades:
Leave Day-Night shades in the up
position when not in use to help the
shades hold their shape.
String tension for the shades should be
equal.
Dusting:
Vacuum with a brush attachment or use a
dusting tool on a regular basis.
Cleaning:
A dry foam cleaner may be used for soil
and dirt removal. Follow all directions on the
container, or a cleaning solution of ¼ ounce
clear liquid soap to 8 ounces water.
NOTE:
DO NOT use colored liquid soap as a
stain may appear when fabric dries.

What is Mold?
Mold is a type of fungus that occurs naturally
in the environment and can leave a musty
odor, discolor fabrics, stain surfaces and cause
considerable damage to the motorhome.
What Does Mold Need to Grow?
Mold requires a food source to grow such
as grease or soil. Synthetic fabrics, such as
acetate, polyester, acrylic and nylon, are mildew
resistant, but soil on the surface of these fabrics


are susceptible to mold.
Temperate climate and moisture also help
to cultivate mold growth. Moisture in the
motorhome can result from unattended spills,
leaks, overflows and condensation. Moisture
allowed to remain on a growth medium can
develop mold within 24 to 48 hours. Minimizing
moisture inside of the motorhome can reduce
or eliminate favorable mold growth conditions.
Good housekeeping and regular maintenance
are essential in the effort to prevent or eliminate
mold growth.
Consequences of Mold:
All mold is not necessarily harmful, but certain
strains of mold have been shown to cause, in
susceptible persons, allergic reactions, including
skin irritation, watery eyes, runny noise,
coughing, sneezing, congestion, sore throat and
headache. Individuals with suppressed immune
systems may risk infections. Some experts
contend that mold causes serious symptoms
and disease which may even be life threatening.
However, experts disagree about the level of
mold exposure that may cause health problems,
and about the exact nature and extent of the
health problems that may be caused by mold.
Moreover, the Center for Disease Control states
that a casual link between the presence of toxic
mold and serious health conditions has not been
proven.
Standards or threshold limit values for
concentration of mold or mold spores have not
been set. Currently, there are no EPA regulations
or standards for airborne mold contaminants.
There is simply no practical way to eliminate
all mold and mold spores in the indoor
environment.
