First read and observe the introductory
information and safety warnings
Normal cleaning
- Please read and follow the instructions, notes and warnings on the package before using cleaning products.
- Upholstery, fabric trims, Alcantara® seat covers and carpeting should be cleaned regularly with a vacuum cleaner (brush).
- We recommend that you use a soft sponge or commercially available lint-free micro fibre cloth for cleaning jobs .
- Clean Alcantara® surfaces with a slightly damp cotton or woollen cloth or a commercially available lint-free micro fibre cloth .
General surface soiling of the upholstery and fabric trim can be cleaned with a commercially available foam cleaner.
If upholstery and fabric trims are generally heavily soiled, take the vehicle to a specialist cleaning company.
Stain removal
When removing stains, it may be necessary to clean a large surface and not just the stain itself. Especially if the surface is generally worn. The cleaned area could otherwise be lighter than the surrounding area.
| Type of stain | Cleaning |
|---|---|
| Water-based stains, e.g. coffee or fruit juice. | – Use a sponge to apply a mild detergent solution. – Dry with an absorbent, dry cloth. |
| Stubborn stains, for example chocolate, make-up. | – Apply some detergent pastea) directly to the stain and
rub the paste in gently. – Use a cloth or sponge soaked in clear water to remove any detergent residue. – Dry with an absorbent, dry cloth. |
| Oily stains, e.g. oil, lipstick. | – Apply natural soap or detergent pastea) and rub it in
gently. – Remove dissolved grease or dye with an absorbent material. – Finally, clean with clear water. Do not soak the upholstery. |
NOTICE
NOTICEDo not use steam cleaners as the steam pushes the soiling into the fabric and sets it.
NOTICE
- Do not soak Alcantara® under any circumstances.
- Do not use leather care products, solvents, wax polish, shoe cream, stain removers or similar products on Alcantara®.
- Do not use brushes if cleaning with liquids. This could damage the surface of the material.
