Spot Removal Procedures:
• Act quickly when anything is dropped or spilled. Remove spots before they dry.
• Blot liquids with a clean, white absorbent cloth or paper towel.
• For semi-solids, scoop up with a rounded spoon.
• For solids, break up and vacuum out as much as possible.
• Pretest the spot removal agent in an inconspicuous area to make certain it will not damage
the carpet dyes.
• Apply a small amount of the cleaning solution recommended for the particular spot. Do
not scrub. Work from the edges of the spot to the center. Blot thoroughly. Repeat until spot
is removed.
• Follow steps on the Carpet Spot Removal Guide.
• After each application, absorb as much as possible before proceeding to the next step.
• Absorb remaining moisture with layers of white paper towels, weighted down with a non-
staining glass or ceramic object.
• When completely dry, vacuum or brush the pile to restore texture.
• If the spot is not completely removed, contact a professional carpet cleaner.
Vinyl Floor
The vinyl flooring in the motorhome is durable and long lasting when properly taken care of. When
a spill occurs, wipe it up with a damp sponge or paper towel. Avoid using cleaners containing abrasives
or scouring pads as these may damage the finish of the flooring. Keep the floor clean as dirt, grit and soil
can act as abrasives. A 100% latex backed floor mat may help to keep the floor clean. Do not use
rubber backed mats or runner casters, as they may stain the flooring. Use large protection pads with
felt spots on bases of heavy stationary items to help disperse the weight. Felt spots are non-abrasive.
High, stiletto heels may permanently damage the flooring. When moving heavy objects lay a piece
of plywood down to prevent accidental galling of the vinyl.
NOTE:
Some dishwashing liquids, oil-based cleaners and one step “polishes” may not be suit-
able cleaners for the flooring. They can leave an oily residue which attracts soil and
reduces gloss.
CAUTION:
Flooring may become extremely slippery when wet. Avoid personal injury by wiping
up spills and keeping flooring dry.
