breathe their fumes in a closed space.
Always open your RV doors and windows
when you are cleaning inside.
Always use the appropriate safety
equipment. Never mix cleaning
products. They may interact with
damaging or hazardous results.

PHOLSTERY
To retain the value of your RV, maintain the
furniture upholstery carefully and keep the
interior clean. Vacuum the furniture regularly
using a soft brush attachment to remove any
loose dirt or debris.
Fabric (if so equipped)
It is recommended the fabric be professionally
cleaned if it becomes stained or soiled. The
professional cleaner should be made aware
the fabrics have been treated to be fire
resistant. After the cleaning process, please
remember to have the fabric re-treated to help
ensure your personal safety.
Suede Upholstery (if so equipped)
It is recommended the suede be
professionally cleaned if it becomes stained
or soiled.
Vinyl Upholstery (if so equipped)
Do not dry clean vinyl components. If they are
dry cleaned, the vinyl on the reverse side will
shrink, become hard and crack. If a spill does
occur water base cleaners are recommended
(solvents are not recommended as they may
have an adverse reaction to the specific
backing of your upholstery fabric). Blot up the
spot, but do not rub it in or saturate the area.
Clean it in a well ventilated area and avoid
products containing toxic materials. Use a
professional furniture cleaning service for an
overall cleaning.
Clean the suede or vinyl upholstery only as
recommended. Using other processes than
those listed may produce undesired results
and possibly damage the upholstery. This
type of damage is not warrantable.

TEMS
Décor items such as window treatments, night
pleated shades, mini blinds and décor glass
should be cared for as follows:
Window treatments and curtains
Dust occasionally with a vacuum and soft
brush attachment. Due to fire retardant
chemicals, they should be professionally
cleaned only. The professional cleaner should
be made aware that these items have been
treated with a fire retardant.
Shower Curtain (if so equipped)
To help prevent mildew or mold, clean the
shower curtain.
Décor Glass (if so equipped)
Use a glass cleaner to remove smudges,
smears and spots. If there is any decorative
etching on the décor glass, use care when
cleaning around that area.
