CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Day-to-day soil:- Remove ordinary dirt and smudges with a mild soap and warm water solution. Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth or towel. For more difficult stains, use of a stronger detergent is recommended. However, follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions closely. For special cleaning problems the following steps are recommended. Many difficult stains can be removed when these cleaning agents are used in the following order.

Step 1 cleaners:- Non-abrasive household bleached based cleaners such as Jif, Mr Muscle or similar household cleaners and bleaches, to be used with a soft cloth or damp sponge, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 2 cleaners*:- Solvent-type cleaners such as rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) or lighter fluid to be liberally applied with a soft cloth or damp sponge. Rinse cleaned area with fresh water and dry with a clean cloth.

Step 3 cleaners*:- Strong, active solvent cleaners such as nail polish remover dissolved in 50% water (acetone/water) to be applied with soft cloth or damp sponge. Stain should be removed with less than six (6) rubs; if the stain persists after six rubs, the stain has set and it is unlikely that it can be removed. Rinse the clean area with fresh water and dry with a clean cloth.

† Note: Although vinyls protected with Prefix are resistant to most common stains, some fabric dyes have the ability to create a permanent stain. To minimise any problems from these and other stains, it is recommended that as soon as they are noticed all stains should be cleaned, making sure the recommended cleaning steps are followed in order.

CAUTION: These solvents are high flammable. Exercise proper care in cleaning. Wear rubber gloves during all cleaning activity. Use caution cleaning around buttons, stitching and wooden or other decorative trim, since these solvents could seriously damage such areas.
