CAR CLEANING HINTS:
INTERIOR
You will want to keep the interior of your New Dodge clean and attractive at all times. Upholstery that is brushed often will wear longer. Foot pedals and rubber floor mats that are scrubbed clean will give you greater driving comfort. An instrument panel that is kept dusted and polished will always give your car that "showroom" look.
Dirt and dust should be removed from the upholstery every few weeks. A few minutes with a whisk broom, clothes brush or vacuum cleaner will do the job. If the upholstery should be accidentally stained or spotted, the following cleaning suggestions may prove helpful.
MoPar Fabric Cleaner or MoPar Spot Remover is recommended wherever the use of cleaning fluid is indicated.
GREASE AND OIL – Scrape loose grease from the upholstery with a dull knife. Moisten a clean cloth with cleaner. Rub the area with a circular motion, working inward to avoid rings. Change to a clean portion of the cloth every few strokes.
CANDY – For candy stains other than chocolate, wet a cloth with very hot water and rub briskly. For chocolate stains rub lightly with a clean cloth dipped in lukewarm water, Then sponge with a second cloth wet with cleaner.
FRUIT AND ICE CREAM – First sponge with lukewarm water. If stain remains, apply hot water directly. Scrape with a dull knife. Rub with a cloth dipped in hot water. The latter method should be used only in extreme cases as discoloration of the upholstery can result. When dry, rub lightly with cleaner. Do not use soap or dry with heat.
COSMETICS – Pour a small amount of cleaner directly on the stain. Soak up quickly with blotting paper. Repeat with clean pieces of blotting paper.
BLOOD – Rub stain lightly with cloth dipped in cold water. Apply a few drops of household ammonia. Sponge with more cold water. Do not use hot water or soap.
WATER SPOTS – Sponge panel of upholstery with cold water. Allow to dry. Moisten a clean cloth with cleaner and rub gently.
URINE – Sponge stain with mild soapsuds. Clean thoroughly with a cloth dipped in cold water. Apply a solution of one part household ammonia and five parts water. Rinse with a clean wet cloth.
PAINT AND LACQUER – Remove as quickly as possible before the stain dries. Rub with a cloth saturated in turpentine. Rinse with cold water.
CHEWING GUM OR TAR – Moisten gum or tar with cleaner and scrape off with a dull knife. Apply additional cleaner and rub gently.
CAUTION: Leather and imitation leather surfaces should be cleaned with lukewarm water and mild soap only. Rinse with clean water. Dry with a clean soft cloth. Do not use cleaning fluids of any type.
