Interior & Exterior Care
SECTION FOUR
if the previous suggestions do not work . Indiscriminate
use of any solvent or solvent containing cleaner can
severely damage or discolor the vinyl . Stains may
become permanent if not immediately removed .
Bird Excreta & Vomit Stains:
Sponge the area with a soapy water and diluted bleach
solution until stain is removed . Rinse thoroughly with
clean water .
Urine Stains:
Sponge with soapy water containing a small amount
of household ammonia . Rinse thoroughly with clean
water .
Surface Mildew:
Wash with diluted bleach and use a soft brush for
stubborn growth . Rinse repeatedly with clear, cold
water .
Ballpoint Ink:
Wipe the stain immediately with rubbing alcohol in a
well ventilated area .
Latex Paint:
Wipe fresh paint off with a damp cloth . Hot soapy
water will normally remove dried latex .
Oil-Base Paint:
Use turpentine in a well ventilated area to remove any
fresh paint . Dried paint must be moistened using a
semi-solid, gel-type stripper . The softened paint can be
gently scraped away . Rinse with soap and water .
Tar or Asphalt:
Remove immediately . Prolonged contact will result in
a permanent stain . Use a cloth lightly dampened with
mineral spirits and rub the stain gently, working from
the outer edge of the stain toward the center to prevent
spreading . Rinse with soap and water .
Crayon, Mustard or Ketchup:
Sponge with mild soap and water . For stubborn stains
that have set, use a cloth soaked in diluted mild
detergent with gentle rubbing . Any remaining stain
should be washed with diluted bleach . Rinse repeatedly
with cold water .
Candy, Ice Cream, Coffee, Tea, Fruit Stains, Liquor,
Wine, Tanning Lotion or Soft Drinks:
Loose material should be gently scraped with a dull
knife . Use lukewarm water and sponge repeatedly . Any
soiled area that remains after drying should be gently
rubbed with a cloth or dampened with a mild detergent
solution . Rinse thoroughly with clean water .
Chewing Gum:
Scrape off as much gum as possible using a dull knife .
Rub the gum with an ice cube to harden and for easier
removal . In a well ventilated area, use a cloth saturated
with mineral spirits and gently rub the remaining gum .
Rinse thoroughly with clean water .
NOTE:
Detergents should never be used on a regular or
repeated basis for normal cleaning .
CAUTION:
Powdered cleaners containing abrasives, steel
wool and industrial strength cleaners are not
recommended for vinyl .
WARNING:
If flammable solvents such as alcohol, turpentine
or varsol are used for cleaning, use only small
quantities in well-ventilated areas . Exercise proper
caution by notifying any persons in the area .
Keep away from any ignition source . Always wear
protective gloves .
CAUTION:
Lacquer solvent will cause immediate irreparable
damage to the vinyl . Do not use wax on vinyl
upholstery as it will cause premature embrittlement
and cracking . Dilute chlorine bleach before using .
Never use full strength bleach . Paint strippers will
remove the print pattern and damage the vinyl if it
comes in direct contact .
