Cayman 2006 Exterior & Interior Care — Section 3 • 87
• Run the range vent fan when cooking and the bath vent fan (or open the bath vent) when bathing, to reduce
water vapor. Avoid excessive boiling or use of steam producing hot water.
• DO NOT heat the motorhome interior with the range or oven. Heating with the range or oven increases
the risk of toxic fumes and depletes oxygen. Open fl ames also add moisture to the interior air and increase
condensation.
• In very cold weather, leave cabinet and closet doors partially open. Air fl ow will warm and ventilate the
interior storage compartments and exterior walls to reduce or eliminate condensation and prevent the
possibility of ice formations.
WINDOW TREATMENTS
Mini-blinds
Dusting:
Regular dusting will maintain the appearance of the mini-blinds. Keep aluminum blinds looking their best by
periodically wiping them with a soft cloth or a dusting mitt. By tilting the slats down, not quite closed, most of the
top surface of each slat can be cleaned. Blinds may be cleaned while hanging in place using this method.
Vacuuming:
For deeper cleaning, vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
Compressed Air or Hair Dryer (non-heat setting):
Blow dust off each slat. Dust will be air-borne using this method so ventilate the motorhome.
Spot-Cleaning:
Spot-clean shades and blinds using a soft cloth or a moistened sponge with lukewarm water. Add mild
detergent, if needed. Blot gently to avoid creasing. In a dusty environment, the blinds may need to be cleaned
regularly using a sponge or dampened soft cloth. Use warm (not hot) water and a mild detergent. The mild
detergent cannot contain abrasives. Rinse the blinds using a clean cloth and water to prevent water spots. Place a
towel directly under the blinds to absorb water that might drip down.
Ultrasonic cleaning:
Professional ultrasonic cleaning may be preferred.
Day/Night Shades
Guidelines for care and maintenance of polyester blended day/night shades:
• Leave Day-Night shades in the UP position when not in use to help the shades hold their shape.
• String tension for the shades should be equal. The tension can be adjusted if the shades will not remain up.
