Care and Cleaning
of Interior Soft Trim
Dust and loose dirt that accumu
late on interior fabric trim should
be removed frequently with a
vac
uum cleaner, whisk broom or soft
brush. Vinyl
or leather trim should
be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Normal cleanable trim soilage,
spots or stains can be cleaned with
the proper use of trim cleaners
available through General Motors
dealers
or other reputable supply
outlets. Before attempting to
re
move spots or stains from uphol
stery, determine as accurately as
possible the nature and age of the
spot
or stain. Some spots or stains
can be removed satisfactorily with
water
or mild soap solution (refer
to accompanying
"Removal of Spe
cific Stains"). For best results, spots
or stains
should be removed
as soon as possible. Some types of
stains
or soilage such as lipsticks,
some inks, certain types of grease,
mustard, etc., are extremely
diffi
cult and, in some cases, impossible
to completely remove. When
clean
ing this type of stain or soilage, care
must be taken not to enlarge the
soiled area.
It is sometimes more
desirable to have a small stain than
an enlarged stain as a result of
care
less cleaning.
