Cleaning the Upholstery:
Finally, retreat fabric with Blue Interior Shampoo diluted 8:1 with water for heavy cleaning, 16:1 for normal soil and 32:1 as a general cleaner. If you have a fabric soil extractor, we recommend any Thoro-Matic model, using Carpet XtraX diluted 64:1 with water. Product should be added to solution tank only after proper dilution. Use extractor as directed by the manufacturer. For more foaming action, for use by hand, try our Carpet Bragger (high foaming) upholstery cleaner concentrate, diluted up to 32:1 with water. If heavy duty spot cleaning is necessary, use No-Spot –fabric spot cleaner. If a solvent cleaner is desired, Citri-Solve is simply the best! Special Note: when pre-treating, always blot target in order to prevent spreading the stain.
Cleaning the Headliner and Accessories:
When cleaning the headliner, use Rug & Upholstery Aerosol Shampoo. Its a high foaming cleaner that keeps the head- liner from becoming over saturated with soap and water. Using Blue Interior Shampoo , or neutral pH, biodegradable, Citri-Clean, gently remove soil from all the vinyl and rubber surfaces of the interior. Use a stronger dilution for heavy cleaning. Light agitation with a brush will loosen stubborn dirt. Next, clean the seat belts with No-Spot or any of the above cleaners.
