9-42 Vehicle Care

Cleaners can contain solvents that
can become concentrated in the
vehicle’s interior. Before using
cleaners, read and adhere to all
safety instructions on the label.
While cleaning the vehicle’s interior,
maintain adequate ventilation by
opening the vehicle’s doors and
windows.
Do not clean the interior using the
following cleaners or techniques:
•Never use a knife or any
other sharp object to remove a
soil from any interior surface.
•Never use a stiff brush. It can
cause damage to the vehicle’s
interior surfaces.
•Never apply heavy pressure or
rub aggressively with a cleaning
cloth. Use of heavy pressure can
damage the interior and does not
improve the effectiveness of soil
removal.
•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 gallon (3.78 L)
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.
