Flooring
Periodically vacuum or sweep to remove dirt and gritty particles. Although most common
spills will not permanently stain the vinyl oors, they are usually easier to remove if wiped
up before they set. Blot with a paper towel and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not use
dish detergents or vinegar and water because they will dull your oor.
To care for the vinyl oor covering, use a damp mop with water and a mild cleaner on the
entire oor. DO NOT SOAK THE FLOORING. Use care to avoid wetting the carpet edges.
To avoid problems of “yellowing” linoleum, the ooring manufacturer recommends avoid-
ing cleaners that contain oil based solvents (i.e. lemon oil, Murphy’s Oil Soap, etc.).
Ceiling Fabric
The ceiling fabric is made from padded vinyl fabric. Wash with mild detergent and water.
Use a soft bristle brush for stubborn soil. Rinse and dry. Some household cleaners and sol-
vents remove plasticizers from vinyl, making them brittle. Abrasive cleaners may mar or
scratch the surface. Always test a small hidden area before applying cleaners to the vinyl
surface.
