Install a dehumidi er. Continuous use of
a dehumidi er is effective in removing
excess moisture from interior air. Using
a dehumidi er is not a cure-all, however,
it will reduce the amount of outside air
needed for ventilation.
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 ames
also add moisture to the interior air and
increase condensation.
In very cold weather, leave cabinet and
closet doors partially open. Air 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 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 the
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 that does not
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 may drip.
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.
Dusting:
Vacuum with a brush attachment or use a
dusting tool on a regular basis.
Cleaning:
A dry foam cleaner may be used for soil
and dirt removal. Follow all directions on the
container, or a cleaning solution of ¼ ounce
clear liquid soap to 8 ounces water.
NOTE:
DO NOT use colored liquid soap as a
stain may appear when fabric dries.
