Appearance Care

7-11

Be careful when you apply any cleaner to
the vinyl surfaces. Some cleaners will
change the gloss (shine) and should be
avoided.

1. For routine cleaning, wipe the surface

with a soft, damp cloth.

2. For a more thorough cleaning, wipe

the surface with a soft cloth and mild
detergent and a vinyl cleaner. Do not
use solvent-type cleaners such as spot
remover or powder-type spot lifter on
these materials.

3. Wipe the surface clean with a damp,

soft cloth.

4. Then, dry and buff the surface with a

dry, soft cloth.

Leather

Real leather isn’t uniform and may have
scars, scratches, and wrinkles. Clean it
with a leather cleaner or mild soap.

Wipe it with a 

damp

 soft cloth; then dry

and buff it with a 

dry

 soft cloth.

t

Fabric

Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Remove fresh spots immediately.

To keep the fabric looking clean and
fresh, take care of it. Otherwise its color
will be affected, it can be stained easily,
and its fire-resistance may be reduced.

To clean a cloth interior, complete the
following steps:

1. Remove any excess staining materials

from the fabric by scraping or wiping
with a clean cloth.

2. Identify the cause of the stain if you

can.

3. Depending on what type of stain you

have, use one of the two procedures
that follow.

Before using any cleaner, test it on a
small, hidden area of fabric. If the fabric’s
color or texture is adversely affected by a
particular cleaner, do not use the cleaner.

For water soluble stains, try using a damp
cloth first, followed by a soft cloth with
a mild detergent and water.
