Using Solvent-’1[Sipe Cleaner on Fabric
First, see if you have to use solvent-type
:leaner
at all. Some spots and stains will
:lean off better with just water and mild
;oap.
If you need to use a solvent:
Gently scrape excess soil from the
trim material with a clean, dull knife
or scraper. Use very little cleaner, light
pressure and clean cloths (preferably
cheesecloth). Cleaning should start at
the outside
of the stain, “feathering”
toward the center. Keep changing to a
clean section of the cloth.
When you clean
a stain from fabric,
immediately dry the area
with an air
hose, hair dryer, or heat lamp to help
prevent a cleaning ring. (See the
previous NOTICE.)
