.Follow specific instructions on
cleaner labels.
General Cleaning of Soiled or
Water Spotted Fabric Type
Trim with Foam Type Cleaner
Vacuum the area thoroughly to
remove any loose dirt.
Always clean a whole trim panel or
section. Mask surrounding trim
along stitch or welt lines.
Use suds on a clean sponge. Do
not brush wet suede. Do not
saturate the material or rub it
harshly. Immediately after cleaning,
remove suds with a sponge and
rinse with a clean wet sponge. Wipe
off remaining residue with a slightly
damp absorbent towel or cloth.
Immediately after wiping, force-dry
the fabric with an air hose. A heat
dryer or heat lamp may be used.
Use caution with a heat dryer or
lamp to help prevent damage.
When trim materials with a sheen or
luster finish are dry, wipe the fabric
lightly with a soft, dry, clean cloth to
restore its sheen or luster. For suede, raise nap with a dry scrub
brush and vacuum to remove any
final traces of residue.
Spot Cleaning Fabric Type
Trim with Solvent Type Cleaner
Before trying to remove a spot or
stain from fabric, try to find out the
type and age of the spot or stain.
Some spots or stains can be
removed with water or a mild soap
solution. Spots or stains should
always be removed as soon as
possible.
Some types of stains or soilage,
such as lipstick, inks, and grease,
are very difficult (sometimes
impossible) to remove completely.
When cleaning this type of stain or
soilage, be sure not to enlarge the
soiled area.
.
Gently scrape excess stain 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 towards the center.
Keep changing to a clean
section of cloth.
. When you clean a stain from
fabric, immediately dry the area
with an air hose, heat dryer,
or heat lamp to help prevent a
cleaning ring. Use caution with
heat dryer or lamp to help
prevent fabric damage.
. If a ring forms, immediately
repeat the cleaning operation
over a slightly larger area with
emphasis on feathering towards
its center. If a ring still remains,
mask off surrounding trim
sections and clean the entire
soiled area with a foam type
cleaner.

Stains.”
