Fabrics and fabric coverings
Fabrics and fab ric coverings (e.g. seats, door
t rim pa nels, etc.) sho uld be cleaned at regular
int ervals with a vacuum cleaner. This removes
surface dirt particles which could become em -
bedded in the fabric throug h use. Steam
cleaners sho uld not be used, beca use the
steam tends to push the dirt deeper into the
fabric and lock it there.
Normal cleaning
Generally, we recommend using a soft sponge
or a lint-free microfibe r cloth to the clean fab -
ric. Brushes s hou ld only be used for carpets
and floor mats, since other fabr ic surfaces
could be harmed by brushes.
Norma l surface stains can be cleaned using a
commercially availab le foam cleaner . Spread
the foam on the surface of the fabr ic with a
soft sponge and work it in gently . Do not satu-
rate the fab ric. Then pat the foam dry using
absorbe nt, dry cloths (e.g. m icrofiber cloth)
and vacuum it after it has dried completely. ..,..
