ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Spills, spots, or stains must be treated as soon as possible to avoid permanent damage to the fabrics. If a
spill occurs, blot the fluid with a dry towel, do not rub the spill as rubbing might cause the liquid to “set”
in the fabric and cause a stain. When attempting to clean a spot or stain, always start from the outside
and work inward to avoid spreading the stain further. Some stains or soils are extremely difficult or
impossible to be removed completely. These stains must receive immediate professional attention. Spills,
spots, stains, or soiled areas are the responsibility of the owner and are not covered by Tiffin
Motorhomes Limited Warranty.
When cleaning the upholstery and fabric of
the motorhome, do not use lacquer thinner,
nail polish remover, laundry soaps, or
bleach. Never use carbon tetrachloride or
gasoline for cleaning purposes. These
substances might cause damage to the
materials being cleaned and most are highly
flammable.
WALLS & CEILING
The wall and ceiling coverings must be cleaned periodically to maintain a new appearance. Use a non-
abrasive cleaner with a soft cloth on the walls. Do not use solvents of any kind, as those solvents might
damage the surfaces being cleaned.
DASHBOARD
To keep the motorhome dashboard (Figure 17-7) in like-new
condition, regularly follow these guidelines:
DOs
Dust and clean the dashboard with a soft, damp cloth or
chamois, wiping the service gently.
Use a mild detergent and lukewarm water.
After washing and rinsing the dashboard, dry it by blotting
with a damp cloth or chamois.
Figure 17-7: Dashboard
DON’Ts
Use harsh chemicals that might damage the dashboard.
Use cloths containing grit or abrasive particles or kitchen-scouring compounds to clean or dust the
dashboard.
