14.2 INTERIOR
Accumulations of dirt and dust not only detract from
the appearance of the interior of your motorhome but
will shorten the life of the carpets and fabrics. Weekly
cleaning and vacuuming is recommended.
1. Flooring:
a) Carpet:
See the information package for the manufacturer's
care guide on how to clean soil, dirt and stains from
the oor.
b) Linoleum:
Sweep or Vacuum regularly and wipe with a damp
cloth or mop.
c) Laminate Flooring:
Sweep or Vacuum regularly and wipe with a damp
cloth or mop.
2. Upholstery:
Care should be taken when cleaning upholstery
materials in your motorhome. Do not use just any
cleaner or spot remover. Regular vacuuming and
wiping with clear water will take care of most stains.
Any major cleaning problems should be done by
professional cleaners. Cushion covers should not
be removed and dry cleaned. They are stain guard
protected.
3. Spots and Stains:
Most spots and stains can be removed by using
clean warm water. To keep the stain from spreading,
start from the outside of the stain and work toward
the center.
Stains such as lipstick, grease, ink or mustard are
very hard to remove and will probably require some
professional advice or help.
IMPORTANT
Direct sunlight will cause fading of
upholstery and fabrics. To minimize the
eect, close drapes, blinds and shades
whenever possible.
4. Vinyl Fabrics:
Vinyl should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth
using a mild detergent. Never use solvents of any
kind on vinyl surfaces.
5. Draperies, Curtains and Bedspreads:
These are made from a variety of fabrics and
will require the help of professional cleaners. It
should be noted that most materials will probably
shrink by about ve percent even when cleaned
professionally.
6. Cabinetry:
Only the nest wood products have been used in
the construction of your motorhome. To clean, use
a soft cloth and a high quality wood nish cleaning
product available from your Triple E dealer or other
RV centers.
The beauty of the wood is in the natural variations in
grain and density causing some dierences in color
and shading.
7. Walls:
As a rule, walls can be cleaned easily using warm
water and a mild soap. For easier cleaning of
accumulated grime, a bit of rubbing alcohol may
be added to the water. Never use solvents or
abrasives.
8. Solid Surface Counter Tops:
The Solid Surface countertop is non-porous to
many household chemicals, stains wipe o with a
sponge and soapy water. It is virtually immune to
stains, impact, water damage and fading caused
by exposure to sunlight. If the stain persists use
an abrasive household cleaner and a Scotch-
Brite pad. Even tougher stains disappear using
ne grade (180-220 grit) sandpaper. Bung
afterwards with a Scotch-Brite pad will return the
surface to its original satin luster.
9. Sinks:
The acrylic sinks can be cleaned with warm water
and soap. Wipe dry to avoid streaks. For stubborn
stains, a mild abrasive may be necessary. Always
work in the direction of the polish lines.
CAUTION
Use of water-based and detergent-based solvent
cleaners may cause excessive shrinking. Water
stains may become permanent and unable to be
removed with solvent cleaning agents.
