Vacuum and brush the area to remove any loose dirt.
Always clean a whole trim panel or section. Mask
surrounding trim along stitch or welt lines.
Mix
Multi-Purpose Powdered Cleaner following the
directions
on
the container label.
Use suds only and apply with a clean sponge. Don’t
saturate the material and don’t rub
it
roughly.
As
soon as you’ve cleaned the section, use a sponge
to remove the suds.
Rinse
the
section with a clean, wet sponge.
Wipe off what’s left with a slightly damp paper towel
or
cloth.
Dry it immediately with a blow dryer.
Wipe with
a
clean cloth.
Using
Solvent-Type Cleaner
on
Fabric
First, see if you have to use solvent-type cleaner at all.
Some spots and stains will clean off better with just
water and mild soap.
If you need to use a solvent:
1. Gently scrape excess soil from the trim material with
a
clean, dull knife or scraper.
2.
Use very little cleaner, light pressure and clean cloths
(preferably cheesecloth). Cleaning should start at the
outside
of
the stain, “feathering” toward the center.
3.
Keep changing to a clean section
of
the cloth.
4.
When you clean a stain from fabric, immediately
dry the area with a blow dryer to help prevent a
cleaning ring.
Special Cleaning
Problems
Greasy
or
Oily Stains
Stains caused by grease,
oil,
butter, margarine, sho’e
polish, coffee with cream, chewing gum, cosmetic
creams, vegetable oils, wax crayon, tar and asphalt can
be removed as follows:
1.
Carefully scrape
off
excess stain.
2.
Follow
the
solvent-type instructions described earlier.
Shoe polish, wax crayon, tar and asphalt will stain
if
left
on a vehicle’s seat fabric. They should be removed as
soon as possible. Be careful, because
the
cleaner
wiIl
dissolve them and may cause them to spread.
