CARE OF YOUR CARAVAN
INTERIOR WALLS
Your caravan interior walls will only require a
wipe over with a damp cloth, using a mild
detergent, to keep them in a ‘showroom’
condition.
FURNITURE
Treat your caravan furniture as you would the
furniture in your home. Polish wood surfaces
sparingly with a good quality wax or spray
polish. Use a damp cloth to clean melanate
laminated surfaces.
COOKING EQUIPMENT
Caustic pastes, abrasive cleaning powders,
coarse wire wool and hard implements will
damage the surface.
SOFT FURNISHINGS
Carpet
When cleaning the interior of your caravan
please remove the carpet from the vehicle.
Vacuum the carpets to take the dirt out of the
pile.
For general cleaning use a dry shampoo,
following the products directions.
For stains, use a mixture of 1/3 bleach to 2/3
warm water. Immerse a soft cloth in the
solution until wet, then wring and squeeze
the cloth until damp. Rub the affected area
until the stain has gone.
NEVER USE DRIPPING WATER
The proportion of water to bleach must be
accurate.
Never put the carpet in a washing machine or
a tumbler dryer.
Upholstery
Remove dust on a regular basis with your
vacuum’s upholstery or drape attachment.
Try to avoid brushing fabric covers because
that can damage the pile.
If you spill something on your upholstery, blot
up the excess immediately. Avoid detergents
which may damage the fabric’s protection.
Use a sponge or a clean white cloth but do
not wash or rub the fabric. Leave to dry in
normal conditions. These actions will not
affect the Fire Retardent treatment of the
fabric.
Heavy soiling will require professional
cleaning. All fabrics will fade to some degree
if exposed to direct sunlight.
Try not to leave newspapers lying on your
cushions; ink can stain the covers. It isn’t
alway easy to avoid that from happening,
however, proper ventilation can help. Try to
keep pets off the upholstery and be careful of
sharp objects such as belt buckles, toys and
watch straps snagging the fabric. If snags do
occur, carefully cut off the loose ends with
scissors or tuck back in - do not pull them
under any circumstances.
WINTERISATION AND STORAGE
Mattresses are made from fire retardent
fabric and are a C.M.H.R foam encapsulated
sprung unit. It is recommended that
mattresses be stored on edge during winter.
Try to keep your cushions away from direct
sunlight.
Curtains
It is recommended that the curtains in your
caravan are washed on a delicate cycle at
30°C. This will not damage the clip glides.
Shrinkage may be caused should you decide
to dry clean your curtains.
Curtains should not be left closed during
daytime otherwise some fading will be
experienced.
SHOWER TRAYS, SHOWER ROOM
AND WASH BASIN FITTINGS
Only clean your shower tray using soap and
water. Do not use chemical based cleaning
agents as this will attack the material.
CLEANING OF ALL TAPS
It is recommended that a non-abrasive damp
cloth be used for cleaning the taps and
showers.
