Your RV is a small living area so soiling may occur more frequently and items will need
more attention than your furniture at home. Please follow these guidelines for cleaning
your upholstered fabrics:
•
Clean with mild soap and water. Air dry.
•
Remove tougher stains with mild detergent or mild cleaning agent like Fantastic ®
or Formula 409 ®.
•
Disinfect with 5:1 bleach solution.
•
Do not use abrasive cleansers.
Your upholstery fabrics have been manufactured with the same quality you would
expect to find in a furniture store. However, they are not completely resistant to possible
damage. Special care is needed when your motorhome is exposed to very humid, or
very hot climates or if it is closed up for an extended period of time. If you know you
are going to be away, cover upholstery and make sure window coverings are closed to
protect upholstery from any sun damage.
Your decorative wall coverings are not much different from wallpaper that you may
have in your home. They should be cleaned with mild soap and water. They can easily
be maintained with proper care.
Treat cabinetry and wood surfaces as you would any fine furniture product in your
home. Proper care and maintenance of wood products will keep them looking like new
for many seasons of use.
Clean pre-finished panels with a spray-type furniture polish. Avoid getting wood
surfaces wet. Wipe off and dry immediately if this occurs. Do not use abrasive cleansers
around wood finishes. Clean regularly with a soft cloth and cleaner designed for wood
products such as lemon oil or any oil based wood cleaning product. Avoid constant
exposure to direct sunlight which can cause fading and drying of wood surfaces.
Molds are microscopic organisms that naturally occur in virtually every environment,
indoors and out. Outdoors, mold growth is important in the decomposition of plants.
Indoors, mold growth is unfavorable. Left unchecked, molds break down natural
materials, such as wood products and fabric. Knowing the potential risks is important
for an owner to protect their investment.
According to the Center for Disease Control, exposure to damp and moldy
environments may cause a variety of health effects, or none at all. Some people
are sensitive to molds. For these people, molds can cause nasal stuffiness, throat
irritation, coughing or wheezing, eye irritation, or, in some cases, skin irritation. People
with mold allergies may have more severe reactions. Immune-compromised people
and those with chronic lung illnesses, such as obstructive lung disease, may get
serious infections in their lungs when they are exposed to mold.
For mold growth to occur, temperatures, indoor or outdoors, must be between 40
degrees and 100 degrees Fahrenheit and also have a source of moisture, such as
humidity, standing water, damp materials, etc. Indoors, the most rapid growth occurs
with warm and humid conditions.
