CARE & MAINTENANCE
NOTE: In many cases listed above, repeated
steps may be required to fully extract
contaminant from material. Items listed
above with (*) may also be removed
through steam extraction method by a
professional cleaner or service.
NOTE: Always check to see that the cleaner used
will not cause damage to the material or
fabric by testing on an area out of sight.
Water Stains
Water stains are the most common problem.
The first thing to remember is that it’s not the
water itself that is making the stain, it is
pigments the water extracts from the ceiling
materials it travels through that causes the stain.
Mix 1/4 cup of white laundry detergent with
a bucket of warm water. Working with a clean
sponge or white cloth, start from the outside of
the stain and work your way to the center. This
method will keep the stain from spreading. Do
not over saturate as this may cause delamination.
No need to scrub, simply rub lightly or dab the
stain.
You may have to repeat this procedure more
than once to achieve desired results. Finish up
with clean water, using the same method, and
blot dry. REMEMBER, this is polypropylene,
basic plastic, so do not be afraid to clean it.
Steam cleaning is also an option. Again, take
care not to over saturate.
IMPORTANT:The recommendations made
above are done in good faith and are based on a
history of actual experiences and laboratory
evaluations. Foss Manufacturing Company, Inc.
and/or its designed distributor does not warrant,
either expressed or implied, the effectiveness of
the cleaning agents listed and the process for
cleaning described above.
CABINETRY
Your cabinets are made of high quality hard-
woods. Clean and beautify using a soft cloth and
a good quality lemon oil wood finish cleaning
product.
NOTE: Cabinetry and furniture items through-
out this motor home are constructed ei-
ther partially or completely of real
hardwoods. Because of natural varia-
tions in woodgrain density, slight differ-
ences in stain hue may exist between one
item and another. This is the distinctive
character and beauty of real wood.
Decorative Cabinet Mirrors and Windows
Use a good quality glass cleaner or mild soap
and water solution. It is best to use a spray bottle
to apply a light mist rather than saturating the sur-
face. WIPE DRY IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT
ALLOW GLASS TO REMAIN WETTED FOR
LONGER THAN A FEW SECONDS. Pro-
longed moisture can cause the applique coating
to lift from the surface of the glass.
Do not use sharp objects to scrape debris such
as fly specks etc. Sharp objects can chip or lift the
applique coating.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR
SOLID SURFACE COUNTERTOPS
You can easily maintain the beauty of your
countertop with little effort, under most circum-
stances, using a window spray cleaner, warm
soapy water or other general purpose spray clean-
er. You can also use liquid or gel-type cleaners
containing bleach. Because the material is non-
porous, stains cannot penetrate below the surface
and will nearly always disappear using these
cleaning methods.
If a stain has dried on, allow the cleaner or
soapy water time to soften the area, after which
the stain will wipe off.
If the stain is not water-base or oil-base
material, you may need to gently remove it using
a plastic scraper (disposable plastic knife for
example) followed by normal cleaning methods
described above.
You may want to scrub the entire surface peri-
odically. Do this lightly and evenly with a mild
abrasive cleaner such as Soft-Scrub
