Using Cleaner on Fabric

1. First, try the cleaner on an area of the fabric that is

not easily seen to make sure the cleaner does not
affect the color of the fabric.

2. For liquids: blot with a clean, soft, white cloth.

For solids: remove as much as possible and
then vacuum or brush.

3. Spray a small amount of the cleaner onto a clean

soft, white, cloth. Do not apply spray directly to
the fabric.

4. Start cleaning from the seams into the stain to

avoid a ring effect.

5. Continue cleaning, using a clean area of the cloth

each time it becomes soiled.

6. When the stain is removed, blot the cleaned area

with another dry, clean, soft, white cloth.

7. If the cleaner leaves a ring effect, follow up with

the club soda water instructions given earlier in
this section.

Special Fabric Cleaning Problems

Stains caused by such things as catsup, black coffee,
egg, fruit, fruit juice, milk, soft drinks, vomit, urine,
and blood can be removed using the club soda water
instructions given earlier in this section. If an odor lingers
after cleaning vomit or urine, treat the area with a
water and baking soda solution: 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of
baking soda to 1 cup (250 ml) of lukewarm water.
Let dry.

Stains caused by oil and grease can be cleaned with an
approved GM cleaner and a clean, white cloth.

1. Carefully scrape off excess stain.

2. Clean with cool water and allow to dry completely.

3. If a stain remains, follow the “Using Cleaner on

Fabric” instructions described earlier.

Vinyl

Use warm water and a clean cloth.

Rub with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt.
This may have to be done more than once.

Things like tar, asphalt, and shoe polish will stain if
they are not removed quickly. Use a clean cloth
and vinyl cleaner. See your dealer for this product.
