Interior Cleaning

Your vehicle’s interior will continue to look its best if it is
cleanedoften. Although not always visible, dust and dirt
canaccumulate on your upholstery. Dirt can damage
carpet,fabric, leather, and plastic surfaces. Regular
vacuumingis recommended to remove particles from
yourupholstery. It is important to keep your upholstery
frombecoming and remaining heavily soiled. Soils should
beremoved as quickly as possible. Your vehicle’s interior
mayexperience extremes of heat that could cause stains
toset rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may require more frequent
cleaning. Use care because newspapers and garments
that transfer color to your home furnishings may also
transfer color to your vehicle’s interior.
When cleaning your vehicle’s interior, only use cleaners
specificallydesigned for the surfaces being cleaned.
Permanentdamage may result from using cleaners on
surfacesfor which they were not intended. Use glass
cleaneronly on glass. Remove any accidental over-spray
fromother surfaces immediately. To prevent over-spray,
applycleaner directly to the cleaning cloth.
Notice: If you use abrasive cleaners when cleaning
glass surfaces on your vehicle, you could scratch
the glass and/or cause damage to the rear window

vehicle, use only a soft cloth and glass cleaner.
Many cleaners contain solvents that may become
concentrated in your vehicle’s breathing space.
Before using cleaners, read and adhere to all safety
instructions on the label. While cleaning your vehicle’s
interior, maintain adequate ventilation by opening
your vehicle’s doors and windows.
Dust may be removed from small buttons and knobs
using a small brush with soft bristles.
