FABRICS
Most fabrics have a designated cleaning code assigned to them. The cleaning
code is determined, in most cases, by the content of the fabric. The code represents
the cleaning agent and method that is approved by the fabric industry. If the fabric
is abused, it can be damaged. Special care needs to be taken when the motorhome
is exposed to a very humid climate for an extended period of time. Cover all
upholstery and make sure window coverings are down to protect from sun damage.
Protect the fabric from any unnecessary exposure to moisture. Frequently used
items will wear accordingly and may require more attention than those items not
regularly used.
Use the following guidelines for cleaning upholstery fabrics.
• Water-based cleaners are not recommended.
• If a spill does occur, blot the soiled area. Do not rub it.
• Some solvents are not recommended since they may have an adverse
reaction on a specific backing of the upholstery fabric.
• To prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming or light brushing are
recommended to remove dust and grime.
• Clean spots using a mild water-free solvent or dry cleaning product.
• Clean only in a well ventilated area and avoid any product containing
carbon tetrachloride or other toxic materials.
• Use a professional furniture cleaning service for overall cleaning.
