Here are some cleaning tips:

Always read the instructions on the cleaner label.

Clean up stains as soon as you can – before
they set.

Carefully scrape off any excess stain.

Use a clean cloth or sponge, and change to a clean
area often. A soft brush may be used if stains are
stubborn.

If a ring forms on fabric after spot cleaning, clean
the entire area immediately or it will set.

Using Cleaner on Fabric

1. Vacuum and brush the area to remove any loose

dirt.

2. Always clean a whole trim panel or section. Mask

surrounding trim along stitch or welt lines.

3. Follow the directions on the container label.

4. Apply cleaner with a clean sponge. Don’t saturate

the material and don’t rub it roughly.

5. As soon as you’ve cleaned the section, use a

sponge to remove any excess cleaner.

6. Wipe cleaned area with a clean, water-dampened

towel or cloth.

7. Wipe with a clean cloth and let dry.
