Care and Maintenance
• Gently scrape the stain off trim
material with a clean,
DULL
knife or scraper. USE VERY
LITTLE CLEANER
, light
pressure, and a clean cloth
(preferably cheesecloth).
Cleaning should be from the
outside of the stain,
“
FEATHERING” towards the
center. Keep changing to a clean
section of the cloth.
• When the stain is cleaned from
the fabric, immediately dry the
area with an air hose, heat dryer
or heat lamp to help prevent a
cleaning ring. (Use caution with
a heat dryer or lamp to prevent
damage to fabric.)
• If a ring forms, immediately
repeat the cleaning operation
over a slightly larger area with
emphasis on “
FEATHERING”
towards its center. If a ring still
remains, mask off surrounding
trim sections and clean the entire
affected area with a
multipurpose powered cleaner
(as described under “Cleaning
General Soilage or Water Spots
From Fabric Trim”).
Removal of Specific Stains
Grease or Oil Stains
These include grease, oil, butter,
margarine, shoe polish, coffee
with cream, chewing gum,
cosmetic creams, vegetable oils,
wax crayon, tar and asphalts.
• Carefully scrape off excess
stain; then use fabric cleaner
(solvent type) as previously
described.
• Shoe polish, wax crayons, tar
and asphalt will stain if allowed
to remain on trim; they should
be removed as soon as possible.
Use caution as cleaner will
dissolve them and may cause
them to “bleed.”
Non-Greasy Stains
These include catsup, coffee
(black), egg, fruit juice, milk, soft
drinks, wine, vomit and blood.
• Carefully scrape off excess
stain; then sponge stain with
cool water.
• If a stain remains, use a
multipurpose powdered cleaner
(foam type) as previously
described.
