Cleaning Fabric/Carpet

Your dealer has cleaners for the cleaning of fabric and
carpet. They will clean normal spots and stains very well.

You can get GM-approved cleaning products from your
dealer. See Vehicle Care/Appearance Materials on
page 5-106
.

Here are some cleaning tips:

Always read the instructions on the cleaner label.

Clean up stains as soon as you can — before
they set.

Carefully scrape off any excess stain.

Use a clean cloth or sponge, and change to a clean
area often. A soft brush may be used if stains are
stubborn.

If a ring forms on fabric after spot cleaning, clean
the entire area immediately or it will set.

sponge to remove any excess cleaner.

towel or cloth.
