Vinyl
Several areas of the motorhome, such as the dash, ceiling and items of furniture, may be covered in
vinyl. The care and cleaning of these areas are as follows:
Normal Cleaning:
Most common stains can be cleaned using warm soapy water and a clear water rinse. Moderate
scrubbing with a medium bristle brush will help to loosen soil from the depression of embossed sur-
faces. For stubborn stains use the following commercially available mild detergents in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions: Mr. Clean or Fantastik.
Full strength rubbing alcohol or mineral spirits may be tried cautiously as a last resort on very stub-
born stains if the above suggestions do not work.
Indiscriminate use of any solvent, or solvent containing cleaner, can severely damage or discolor
the vinyl. Stains may become permanent if they are not immediately removed.
NOTE:
Detergents should never be used on a regular or repeated basis for normal
cleaning.
CAUTION:
Powdered cleaners containing abrasives, steel wool and industrial strength cleaners
are not recommended for vinyl.
Bird Excreta & Vomit Stains:
Sponge the area with soapy water containing a diluted bleach
until the stain is removed. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Urine Stains:
Sponge with soapy water containing a small amount
of household ammonia. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Surface Mildew:
Wash with diluted bleach and use a soft brush for stubborn growth.
Rinse repeatedly with clear, cold water.
Ballpoint Ink:
Wipe the stain immediately with rubbing alcohol in a well ventilated area.
