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.
Direct sunlight will fade upholstery and
fabrics. To minimize fading, close drapes,
blinds and shades whenever possible.
NOTICE
SPOTS AND STAINS
Most spots and stains can be removed using clear
warm water. To prevent a stain from spreading, start
from the outside of the stain and clean toward 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
SOLAR PANELS
Solar panels should be cleaned monthly using water
and a soft sponge or cloth. If required, a mild non-
abrasive cleanser can be used for more stubborn
residue� Ensure solar panels are rinsed thoroughly
following cleaning�
For best performance, solar panels should be
cleaned more frequently during drier months as they
may become covered in dust more quickly. Use of
a pressure washer to clean the solar panels is not
recommended�
Solar panels contain acrylic (Plexiglas®)
components. Refer to the acrylic
manufacturer’s cleaning instructions. Do NOT
clean using Windex® style glass cleaners.
