Cleaning The Interior

To keep the value of your recreation vehicle, perform regular maintenance using the proper
materials and procedures. Using the wrong cleaner may result in damage to the surfaces in
your vehicle. Check with the manufacturer’s information for the recommended cleaning
agent. If in doubt, check to see if the cleaner will cause damage by testing a small area out

of sight or contact your dealer for assistance. Do not use flammable liquids or sprays to

clean the recreation vehicle.

Furniture Upholstery:

Vacuum the furniture upholstery regularly using a soft brush attach-

ment to remove any loose dirt or debris.

Fabric

It is recommended the fabric be professionally cleaned if it becomes stained or soiled. The

professional cleaner should be made aware the fabrics that may have been treated to be fire

resistant. For more information, refer to the specific furniture manufacturer’s care instruc

tions.

Leather (if so equipped):

Periodic vacuuming, using a dry cloth to wipe up spills imme-

diately, and using a damp cloth on problem areas, will help to keep your leather furniture in
good condition. Leather surfaces can vary, as do the cleaning methods. Refer to the furni-
ture manufacturer’s recommendation, or consult a cleaning professional.

It is recommended you do not use any cleaners containing oils, waxes or silicones. Cleaners

containing silicone can eventually destroy the finish on the leather. Cleaners containing oils

or waxes should not be used as they leave residues on the surface of the leather, which can
attract more dirt and eventually lead to cracking.

Window Shades

Shades should be vacuumed periodically to remove dust. Using your vacuum cleaner’s
upholstery brush on low suction will remove most dust and dirt from the shade. Refer to the
shade manufacturer’s owner’s manual for additional and detailed information.

To remove stuck on dust or stains refer to the following guide.

Solar Shields:

Use a sponge or soft brush and water to remove stains. A mild cleaning

solution can be used to remove tougher stains. Rinse after cleaning by wetting a clean cloth
in fresh water, wringing our any excess and wiping the areas where the cleaner was used.

Day/Night Shades

: Clean with a mild cleaning solution using a sponge or paper towel.

Wipe down with water after cleaning and dry thoroughly before raising the shade. Do not
use spot remover, household cleaners or detergents to remove soiled spots, as these may
cause damage to fabric or loss of color from fading.

Mini Blinds:

A simple dry rag may do the trick. If they are especially dirty, you can use

cold or warm water to clean them;

never use hot water.

Fill a spray bottle with water and a tiny amount of soap. Then spray a lint-free towel with
the mixture and use the towel to wipe down each slat. While cleaning, try not to bend the
slats. They can also be soaked in a bathtub to loosen up any debris so the slats can be wiped
down easily.

NOTE: If your recreation vehicle must be stored for an extended period,

store shades in the up position and cover your windows with additional pro-

tection (I.E. cut out cardboard).

Cabinetry and Tables

To keep hardwood doors, cabinet fronts and hardwood tables looking like new regularly
dust with a soft cloth dampened with a cleaning polish or mild detergent solution. Avoid
using ammonia based products or silicone oils as they may cause damage if used over a long
period of time.
