SECTION 14
CARE & MAINTENANCE
14-4
Spots and Stains
Spots or stains should be treated as soon as
possible before they “set in” to avoid permanent
damage. Always start from the outside of a spot
or stain and work inward to avoid spreading it.
Use a clean cloth or sponge and turn frequently to
an unused area of the cloth or sponge as you
clean.
Some stains or soils, such as lipstick, ink,
grease or mustard, are extremely difficult or im-
possible to remove completely and should re-
ceive immediate attention. Consult a professional
carpet and upholstery cleaner for assistance.
Vinyl Fabrics
Vinyl should be cleaned with a soft, damp
cloth, and a mild detergent only. Do not use sol-
vents. Solvents may damage the surface of the
vinyl.
Draperies, Curtains and Bedspreads
These items may be woven from a variety of
fabrics. We recommend that these be profession-
ally dry cleaned only. A five percent shrinkage
may occur when you have these items dry
cleaned.
Leather Upholstery
Driver/Co-Pilot Seats & Sofa - (Optional)
The optional leather seats are made of top
quality cattle hide soft leather.
•
We recommend using a mild soap and water
applied gently to the solid areas. Buff dry
immediately with a soft cloth to avoid water
spotting. Avoid harsh and excessive rubbing
while cleaning. Soft leather needs delicate
care.
•
Never use harmful substances (e.g. stain
removers, solvents, saddle soap, shoe polish
or other unsuitable fluids) on soft leather.
Cleaning and touch-up kits specifically
formulated for leather upholstery are avail-
able from most fine furniture dealers.
CARE OF CEILING FABRIC
While using your coach, your ceiling fabric
may become soiled and require spot cleaning
from time to time. The following information is
provided as a guideline for care and cleaning of
ceiling fabrics used in your coach. (See cleaning
chart on following page.) These materials are
made from polypropylene or polyester synthetic
fibers, so they clean very well with virtually no
damage to the color or fabric itself.
Most commercially available carpet and up-
holstery cleaners will do an excellent job remov-
ing stains. From time to time, additional cleaning
methods may need to be used to remove stubborn
or difficult stains.
General Stains
As with any stain or contamination, the quick
response is the best, especially when done in con-
junction with the proper cleaner for the type of
stain.
