GENERAL CARE & CLEANING
Use care when the motorhome is exposed to high-
humidity climates for an extended period . Protect
fabrics from prolonged exposure to moisture to
prevent mold . Cover all upholstery and make sure
window coverings are down to protect fabrics from sun
damage . Frequently used items require more attention
than those items not regularly used .
If a spill occurs, blot the moisture as quickly as possible .
Do not use soap and hot water as this may set a stain .
Clean the spot as soon as possible .
Cleaning Upholstery Fabrics:
• Water-based cleaners are not recommended .
• If a spill does occur, blot the soiled area, do not rub
it .
• Some solvents may have an adverse reaction on
the backing of the upholstery fabric and is not
recommended .
• To prevent overall soiling, frequently vacuum or
lightly brush 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 .
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 (distilled water preferred) rinse .
Moderate scrubbing with a medium bristle brush will
help to loosen soil from the depression of embossed
surfaces .
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 stubborn stains

vapors . Consult manufacturer data for application
and safety instructions .
CAUTION:
Do not use glass cleaner on plastic or Plexiglass
surfaces . Most glass cleaners will haze plastic
finishes and cause brittleness .

To determine if a lens is glass or plastic, tap the
lens with a fingernail . Plastic lens will have a dull
hollow sound whereas glass will have a clear ping
sound .
