Motorhome Maintenance
Interior Care
Dirt and dust accumulation can not only detract
from the motorhome’s appearance, but can also
shorten the life of carpets and fabrics. Clean
and vacuum weekly to keep your motorhome
in pristine condition.
Carpets
Refer to the carpet manufacturer’s
recommendations for carpet cleaning and care,
and for information about stain removal.
Upholstery
Use care when cleaning the motorhome’s
upholstery, and choose an appropriate
cleaner or spot remover to avoid damaging
the materials. Regular vacuuming and wiping
with clear water will remove most stains. Any
major cleaning problems should be referred to
a professional cleaning service.
NOTICE
Direct sunlight will fade upholstery and
fabrics. To minimize fading, close drapes,
blinds, and shades whenever possible.
Spots and Stains
Most spots and stains can be removed using
clear warm water. To prevent the stain from
spreading, start from the outside of the stain
and work towards the center.
Stains such as lipstick, grease, ink, or mustard
are very hard to remove and might require the
help of a professional cleaning service.
Vinyl Fabrics
Clean vinyl surfaces using a soft, damp cloth
and mild detergent. Never use solvents of any
kind on vinyl surfaces.
NOTE: The vinyl manufacturer recommends
the following: “To clean most common
household stains use warm, soapy water,
and a clear water rinse. For more stubborn
stains, Fantastik™ or Mr. Clean™ diluted
3:1 with water are recommended.”
Draperies, Curtains, and Bedspreads
Draperies, curtains, and bedspreads are
made from a variety of fabrics and materials.
Many of these materials could shrink up to 5
percent during the cleaning process. Always
use a professional cleaning service for you
motorhome’s textiles.
NOTICE
Using water-based or detergent-based
solvent cleaners on fabrics may cause
excessive shrinkage and permanent stains.
Walls
Clean walls using warm water and mild soap.
For extensive accumulations of dirt and grime,
add a small quantity of rubbing alcohol to the
water. Do NOT use solvents or abrasives.
Cabinetry, Tables and Countertops
The wood’s beauty comes from the natural
variations in grain and density. Some minor
variations in color and shading are normal.
Sinks
The sinks can be cleaned with warm water and
soap. Wipe dry to avoid streaks. For stubborn
stains, a mild abrasive may be necessary.
Always work in the direction of the polish lines.
NOTICE
Some units contain acrylic (Plexiglas®)
components. Refer to the acrylic
manufacturer’s cleaning instructions. Do
NOT clean using Windex® style glass
cleaners.
