Use a vacuum cleaner often to get rid of dust and loose dirt. Wipe vinyl, leather,
plastic and painted surfaces with a clean, damp cloth.
Your dealer has cleaners for the cleaning of fabric and carpet. They will clean
normal spots and stains very well.
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. |
