SECTION 14
– Care and Maintenance
14-4
Class A
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
impossible to remove completely and should
receive 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
solvents. 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
professionally dry cleaned only. A five percent
shrinkage may occur when you have these items
dry cleaned.
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
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.
General Stains
As with any stain or contamination, the quick
response is the best, especially when done in
conjunction with the proper cleaner for the type
of stain.
WARNING
When cleaning upholstery and fabric, do
not use lacquer thinner, nail polish
remover, laundry soaps, or bleach. Never
use carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, or
naptha for any cleaning purpose. These
materials may cause damage to the
material being cleaned and most are
highly flammable.
