Cleaners can contain solvents that

can become concentrated in the

vehicle’s interior. Before using

cleaners, read and adhere to all

safety instructions on the label.

While cleaning the vehicle’s interior,

maintain adequate ventilation by

opening the vehicle’s doors and

windows.

Do not clean the interior using the

following cleaners or techniques:

• Never use a knife or any

other sharp object to remove a

soil from any interior surface.

• Never use a stiff brush. It can

cause damage to the vehicle’s

interior surfaces.

• Never apply heavy pressure or

rub aggressively with a cleaning

cloth. Use of heavy pressure can

damage the interior and does not

improve the effectiveness of soil

removal.

• Use only mild, neutral-pH soaps.

Avoid laundry detergents

or dishwashing soaps with

degreasers. Using too much

soap will leave a residue that

leaves streaks and attracts dirt.

For liquid cleaners, about

20 drops per gallon (3.78 L)

of water is a good guide.

• Do not heavily saturate the

upholstery while cleaning.

• Damage to the vehicle’s interior

may result from the use of many

organic solvents such as naptha,

alcohol, etc.

Fabric/Carpet

Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft

brush attachment to remove dust

and loose dirt. A canister vacuum

with a beater bar in the nozzle may

only be used on ﬂoor carpet and

carpeted ﬂoor mats. For soils, always

try to remove them ﬁrst with plain

water or club soda. Before cleaning,

gently remove as much of the soil as

possible using one of the following

techniques:

• For liquids: gently blot the

remaining soil with a paper towel.

Allow the soil to absorb into the

paper towel until no more can be

removed.

• For solid dry soils: remove as

much as possible and then

vacuum.
