Blood or Plant Residue:
Rub out any spots using a clean cloth, soaked in cool water. If stubborn spots remain, use house-
hold ammonia and rinse repeatedly with a clean, wet cloth. Do not use hot water or soap suds as
this will set the stain.
TIP:
Vinyl requires periodic cleaning to maintain its appearance and to prevent the
buildup of dirt and contaminant that may permanently stain or reduce the life of
the vinyl if left untreated. Frequency of cleaning and procedures used depend upon
the amount of use and the environmental conditions in which the vinyl is subject-
ed. Tears or holes in the vinyl can be temporarily covered with clear “office” tape
to prevent further damage. Repairs should be made by a professional uphol-
stery shop. Commercial repair products may contain lacquers and cause the
vinyl to become brittle and more difficult to repair.
