CEILING FABRIC CARE
–If Equipped
While using your coach, your ceiling fabric
may become soiled and require spot cleaning
from time to time.
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
upholstery cleaners will do an excellent job
removing stains. From time to time, additional
cleaning methods may need to be used to remove
stubborn or difficult stains.
The following cleaning chart is provided as a
guideline for care and cleaning of ceiling fabrics
used in your coach.
.
NOTE: In many cases listed above, repeated
steps may be required to fully extract
contaminant from material. Items listed
above with (*) may also be removed
through steam extraction method by a
professional cleaner or service. Always
check to see that the cleaner used will
not cause damage to the material or
fabric by testing on an area out of sight.
Water Stains
Water stains should be cleaned with a mixture
of 1/4 cup of white powdered or clear liquid
laundry detergent (no coloring) in a bucket of
warm water. Working with a clean sponge or
white cloth, start from the outside of the stain and
work your way to the center. This method will
keep the stain from spreading. Do not over
saturate as this may cause delamination. No need
to scrub, simply rub lightly or dab the stain.
