VINYL CARE

PAGE 29

These  patterns,  like  all  upholstery  fabrics
and  vinyl,  require  a  regularly  scheduled
cleaning  program.  A  thorough  cleaning
should be administered on a daily, weekly or
monthly  basis  depending  on  use  and
exposure  to dirt  and/or staining agents. It is
important  to  begin  treatment  of  a  stain  as
soon as possible after a spill. It is important
that efforts begin immediately after a spill to
remove  any  potential  staining  agent.  It  is
advisable  to  clean  these  products  as  soon
as  the  first  signs  of  dinginess  occur,
otherwise,  delaying  clean  up  will  require  a
much greater effort to restore the product to
its original appearance.
Regular  cleaning  requires  the  use  of  a  mild
cleaner  such  as  Murphy

’

s Oil soap and

water.  In  situations  where  the  vinyl  has  not
been  washed  regularly  and  there  is  a  build
up  of  dirt,  stronger  vinyl  cleaners  such  as
Simonize

’

s Tuff Stuff or Turtle Wax

’

vinyl/fabric  cleaner  are  recommended.  We
do  not  recommended  the  use  of  any  other
cleaners.  The  use  of  cleaners  other  than

those

recommended

may

result

irreparable damage to the product.
In  order  for  the  above  listed  cleaning
solutions  to  work  effectively  on  stubborn
stains,  please  allow  time  for  the  cleaning
solution  to  soak  in  thoroughly.  Be  sure  to
remove  the  cleaning  solution  before  it  has
time  to  dry.  Regardless  of  the  type  of
cleaner used, it is necessary to finish up with
a  thorough  rinse  using  fresh  water  on  a
clean sponge or rag. A soft bristled nylon or
natural  fiber  brush  can  be  used  to  remove
built-up dirt and staining agents.
Finally,  please  remember  that  all  our  fabric
grain vinyls require a greater cleaning effort
to  maintain  than  comparable  smooth  grain
vinyls.  These  products  will  provide  an
attractive

and

durable

alternative

conventional fabrics and vinyls if properly
maintained. One must realize that the proper
installation and use of our fabric grain vinyls
require

additional

attention

the

establishment and maintenance of a well
thought out cleaning program.

Do not use acetone or other harsh cleaners on the vinyl
soft headliner. Use soapy water or other mild detergent
to avoid damage to the vinyl.

FABRIC CARE

Vinyl

: Clean with mild soap and water. Wipe

with vinyl or upholstery cleaner monthly, and
especially before and after storage.

Leather

: Mild soap water. Blot dry. Do not

scrub as this will stretch and scratch. Wipe
with leather cleaner/oil to preserve and help
prevent cracks before and after storage.

Fabric

: Blot dry. Do not machine wash. Use

only mild soap and water. Wipe with a clean
white  cloth.  If  stain  persists,  dry  clean.  Be
sure  to  treat  cleaned  surfaces  with  scotch
guard.  Stretched  or  loose  covers  may  be

steam cleaned. If foam is removed, it will
restuff more easily if wrapped with thin
plastic.

Storage

: Cover with airflow fabric to reduce

dust build up. Do not use plastic, as this will
cause cushions to sweat and mildew.

Cushions

: If wet, prop cushions vertically to

promote airflow around each cushion.
Cushions can be cleaned by most dry
cleaners.

Dry clean only.

REPAIR OF POLTURETHANE (MINWAX) FLOORS

Surface Scratches:

Sand floor with 220 grit sandpaper. Remove all dust with clean cotton cloth

or blow off with air. Apply one

coat of minwax evenly over sanded floor. Let dry completely, at

least 24 hours

Deep Scratches:

Remove all blemishes by sanding floor with 220, until all minwax is removed

and you have a raw floor. Remove all dust with clean cloth or blow off with air. Apply one coat
evenly over floor. Let dry four to six hours. Repeat steps one and four. Apply third coat of minwax
only if needed by repeating steps one and four.) After final coat, let floor dry completely at least
one day.
