Cleaning of Fabric Trim



Cleaning of Fabric Trim

General Cleaning of Fabric Trim with Foam Type Cleaner

* Use a multi-purpose powered cleaner or equivalent when cleaning the following areas:

- Fabric trim
- Panel sections where small cleaning rings may be left from spot cleaning

* Vacuum and brush the area in order to remove any loose dirt surrounding the trim along the stitch or the welt lines.
* Clean the complete trim panel one section at a time.
* Mix the cleaner following the directions on the container label.
* Use suds on a clean sponge.
* Do not saturate or rub the material harshly.
* Wipe off the remaining residue with a slightly damp absorbent towel or cloth.
A heat dryer or a heat lamp may be used.
Use caution with a heat dryer or lamp in order to prevent fabric damage.
