dirt. Wipe vinyl, leather, plastic and painted surfaces
with a clean, damp cloth.
Cleaning of Fabric/Carpet
Your dealer has cleaners for the cleaning of fabric and
carpet. They will clean normal spots and stains very
well. You can get GM-approved cleaning products from
your dealer. See “Appearance Care and Materials” in
the Index.
Here are some cleaning tips:
D
Always read the instructions on the cleaner label.
D
Clean up stains as soon as you can
-- before they set.
D
Carefully scrape off any excess stain.
D
Use a clean cloth or sponge, and change to a clean area
often. A soft brush may be used if stains are stubborn.
D
If a ring forms on fabric after spot cleaning, clean the
entire area immediately or it will set.
Cleaning Vinyl
Use warm water and a clean cloth.
D
Rub with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt.
You may have to do it more than once.
D
Things like tar, asphalt and shoe polish will stain if you
don’t get them off quickly. Use a clean cloth and a
vinyl/leather cleaner. See your dealer for this product.
Cleaning Leather
Use a soft cloth with lukewarm water and a mild soap or
saddle soap and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Then, let the
leather dry naturally. Do not use heat to dry.
D
For stubborn stains, use a leather cleaner. See your
dealer for this product.
D
Never use oils, varnishes, solvent-based or abrasive
cleaners, furniture polish or shoe polish on leather.
D
Soiled or stained leather should be cleaned
immediately. If dirt is allowed to work into the
finish, it can harm the leather.
