Vehicle Care

.

Use only mild, neutral-pH soaps.
Avoid laundry detergents or
dishwashing soaps with
degreasers. Using too much
soap will leave a residue that
leaves streaks and attracts
dirt. For liquid cleaners, about
20 drops per 3.78 L (1 gal) of
water is a good guide.

.

Do not heavily saturate the
upholstery while cleaning.

.

Damage to the vehicle's interior
may result from the use of many
organic solvents such as naptha,
alcohol, etc.

Fabric/Carpet

Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft
brush attachment to remove dust
and loose dirt. A canister vacuum
with a beater bar in the nozzle may
only be used on floor carpet and
carpeted floor mats. For soils,
always try to remove them first
with plain water or club soda. Before
cleaning, gently remove as much of
the soil as possible using one of the
following techniques:

.

For liquids: gently blot the
remaining soil with a paper
towel. Allow the soil to absorb
into the paper towel until no
more can be removed.

.

For solid dry soils: remove as
much as possible and then
vacuum.

To clean:

1. Saturate a lint-free, clean white

cloth with water or club soda.

2. Remove excess moisture.

3. Start on the outside edge of the

soil and gently rub toward the
center. Continue cleaning, using
a clean area of the cloth each
time it becomes soiled.

4. Continue to gently rub the

soiled area.

5. If the soil is not completely

removed, use a mild soap
solution and repeat the cleaning
process with plain water.
