The following are the cleanability code instructions for the various fabrics used in the
Airstream motorhomes:
Cleanability Codes
CODE W-S
Fabric care. Spot clean this fabric either with a mild solvent or a water-based clean-
ing agent. When using a solvent or dry cleaning product, follow instructions carefully
and clean only in a well-ventilated room. Avoid any product that contains highly toxic
carbon tetrachloride. You may also use an upholstery shampoo product or the foam
from a mild detergent. With either method, pretest a small area before proceeding. Use
professional furniture cleaner when an overall soiled condition is reached.
CODE S
Fabric care. Spot clean, using a mild, water-free solvent or dry-cleaning product. Care-
fully follow instructions on such product. Clean only in a well-ventilated room. Avoid
any product containing carbon tetrachloride, which is highly toxic. Pretest small area
before proceeding. Use professional furniture cleaner when an overall soiled condition
is reached.
CODE W
Fabric care. Spot clean, using the foam only from a water-based cleaning agent, such
as mild detergent or non-solvent upholstery shampoo product. Apply foam with a soft
brush in a circular motion. Vacuum when dry. Pretest small area before proceeding.
Use professional furniture cleaner when an overall soiled condition is reached. The
manufacturer of the fabric designed the above code.
CAUTION: Never remove cushion cover for separate cleaning or washing. Any
tumble cleaning method can destroy the backing, shrink or otherwise damage
upholstery.
WARNING: Keep your furniture and family safe from fires caused by
careless smoking. Do not smoke when drowsy. Remove immediately any flowing
ash or a lighted cigarette that falls on furniture. Smoldering smoking material can
cause upholstered furniture fires.
Fabric Cleaning
All material should be professionally dry cleaned to remove any overall soiled con-
dition. These materials may be spot cleaned, however, using the cleanability code
instructions as listed. Sample swatches are furnished to our dealers. The dealer will
be able to give you the cleaning code and part number for the fabrics used in your
particular motorhome.
SHADES
The day/night shades are opened and closed by grasping both knobs and sliding the
shade straight up and down. Your choice of blind density is instantly available by using
the appropriate set of knobs.
CARPET
The carpet can be cleaned with any good commercial carpet cleaner, or with a detergent
and water. HOWEVER, BE CAREFUL NOT TO SOAK THE CARPET WITH WATER.
LAVATORY SINK
The lavatory sink is a very dense material called KARRAN. In the unlikely event of
it ever being stained, powdered cleansers such as Ajax or Comet may be used or
even Scotch-Brite® pads. The color is constant through the thickness of the material.
Lavatory sinks can also be stainless steel and can be cleaned using standard stainless
sink cleaning products.
