SECTION 11 –
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

cleaning products are not formulated for use on
fabrics and may cause excessive shrinkage or
fading. Always test any cleaning product on a
hidden area of fabric before using on visible
areas. For best results, fabric cleaning should be
referred to a professional carpet and upholstery
cleaner.
NOTE: To minimize fading of upholstery, carpets
and other interior fabrics caused by
excessive sunlight, the drapes, blinds, or
shades should be closed when the
motorhome is parked for an extended
period of time.
Leatherette
–If Equipped
Leatherette materials are easy to care for and
require no recommended maintenance other than
regular cleaning. To clean, only use:
• Mild soap and water
• For stubborn spots, use alcohol-based
solutions such as Fantastik
®
or Formula 409
®
• To disinfect, use a 5:1 bleach/water solution
• Always rinse with clean water
• Allow to air dry
Vinyl Fabrics (including ceiling)
–If Equipped
Vinyl should be cleaned with a soft, damp
cloth, and a mild detergent only. Do not use
solvents. Solvents may damage the surface of the
vinyl.
Draperies, Curtains, and
Bedspreads
These items may be woven from a variety of
fabrics. We recommend that these be
professionally dry cleaned only. A five percent
shrinkage may occur when you have these items
dry cleaned.
General Stains
As with any stain or contamination, the quick
response is the best, especially when done in
conjunction with the proper cleaner for the type
of stain.
CABINETRY – CLEANING
Wooden items may be cleaned with a soft
cloth and a good quality wood finish cleaning
product.
Vinyl simulated wood panels may be cleaned
with a mild, water-based cleaner and a soft cloth.
Do not use solvents on vinyl wood panels.
NOTE: Many cabinetry and furniture items
throughout this motorhome are
constructed either partially or
completely of real hardwoods. Because
of natural variations in woodgrain
density, slight differences in stain hue
may exist between one item and another.
This is the distinctive character and
beauty of real wood.
DECORATIVE VINYL WALL
PANELING – CLEANING
Decorative Vinyl Wall Paneling may be
cleaned with mild detergent and warm water. The
soap product should contain no abrasives, and the
use of a soft cloth or sponge with the cleaning
liquid should help preserve the finish of the vinyl.
Do not use bleach, cleaning agents with
solvents or harsh chemicals, oil based spray
cleaners, or other multipurpose cleaners such as
Fantastik
®
or Formula 409
®
as they could
damage the vinyl surface.
When cleaning upholstery and fabric, do
not use lacquer thinner, nail polish
remover, laundry soaps, or bleach. Never
use carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, or
naphthalene for any cleaning purpose.
These materials may cause damage to
the material being cleaned and most are
highly flammable, posing risk of injury due
to fire.
