Special Fabric Cleaning Problems
Stains caused by such things as ketchup, coffee (black), egg, fruit,
milk, soft drinks, vomit, urine, and blood can be removed as follows:
| • | Carefully scrape off excess stain, then sponge the soiled area
with cool water. |
| • | If a stain remains, follow the multi-purpose interior cleaner
instructions described earlier. |
| • | If an odor lingers after cleaning vomit or urine, treat the area
with a water/baking soda solution: 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of baking soda
to 1 cup (250 ml) of lukewarm water. |
Stains caused by candy, ice cream, mayonnaise, chili sauce and unknown
stains can be removed as follows:
- Vacuum and brush the area to remove any dirt.
- Always clean a whole trim panel or section. Mask surrounding trim
along stitch or welt lines.
- Mix powdered cleaner following the directions on the container
label to form thick suds.
- Use suds only and apply with a clean sponge. Do not saturate the
material and do not rub it roughly.
- As soon as you have cleaned the section, use a sponge to remove
the suds.
- Wipe cleaned area with a clean, damp towel or cloth.
- Wipe with a clean cloth and let dry.
