Clinton News-Record, 1979-10-25, Page 37*Staining the car's inte,
rior fabric, especially for
the first time, can be a
trying experience. Usually
e ower has been proud-
' keeping the outside
....ate and, bright, but he or
she has very little knowl-
edge about how to remove
a smudge of chocolate or
shoe polish from the seat
fabrics.
Not always difficult
Whether or notthe Stain
is difficult to remove de-
-Vends mainly upon the
type of stain and the fab-
ric. Most automobile seat •
and door panel upholstery
s in your car can
use three types, according
' to Fisher Body Division of
General Motors.
1. Vinyl coated fabrics.
2. Genuine Ieather. 3, Syn-
thetic cloth fibers (nylon
or rayon)
Vinyl and leather are
relatively easy to clean,
In fact, there is but one
recommended method of
removing stains from
these two types of fabrics.
Use lukewarm water and
only the suds from neutral
soap worked into a piece
• of gauze or cheesecloth:
:This treatment should
work on most stains.
ONE OF THE MOST EYE APPEALING and practical assets a
home can have is an energy-efficient fir4lace. A fireplace adds
a feeling of warmth and coziness to any room and, as more peo-
ple become energy-conscious,many are turning to the factory -
built, heat circulating fireplaces which do-it-yourselfers can in-
stall. One of the newest examples of energy efficient fireplaces is
the Heatilator® Fireplace model 3138 Energy Pack unit. Air
from outside the home flows through ducts to support the fire,
rather than wasting warm room air for combustion. Inside room
air is through ducts on either side of the hearth where itis
warmed and circulated back into .the same room or adjoining
room. After installation, a variety of finishing material, such as
wood paneling,: decorated wallboard or wallpaper, can be used.
to complement thedecor and add beauty to any area.

Synthetic fibers
Cleaning nylon or rayon.
cloth fibers is more of a
challenge,
For best results, stains
should be removed as soon
as possible after they have
been made, The longer
they, set, the more difficult
the job becomes. Experts
warn that treatmentof
some stains, especially
where water treatment is
specified, may cause dis-
coloration or disturbance
of the finish. These nega-
tive results, however, may
be considered preferable
to the stain itself.
Before .discussing what
can be done for stains, one
should first learn what
NOT to do when cleaning
fabric. Here are four
points to remember:
1. Never use gasoline or
naphtha.
2. Do not use solvents
such, as acetone, lac-
quer thinners, ?;namel
reducers or nail polish
remover.
3. Do not use laundry
soaps,. bleaches or re-
ducing agents. They
weaken fabric and
change its color.
4. Do not use too much
cleaning fluid because
an, excessive amount
may destroy rubber
padding or leave a sol-
vent ring..
There are two ways of
cleaning general soilage
from cloth fabrics. One is
with a cleaning fluid and
the other is with detergent
foam cleaners.
Cleaning Fluid Use
Cleaning fluid, which
can usually be obtained
through , an automobile
dealer or reputable auto-
motive supply house,
should be used to clean
stains containing grease,
oil or fats. Here's how to
use it;
1. Vacuum area to re-
• move loose dirt.
2. Always clean at least a
full panel or section
oI trim by masking off
adjacent trim along
stitch or weld lines.
3. Mix detergent type of
foam cleaners strictly
according to directions
on label.

I Fele fir
4. Use foam only on a
clean sponge or soft
bristle brush. Do not
wet fabric excessively
or ,rub harshly with a
brush.
5, Wipe clean with a
slightly damp -absorb-
ent towel or cloth.
6. Immediately dry fabric
with a dry towel or
hair dryer.
7. Rewipe fabric with dry
absorbent towel or
cloth to rett(ore the
luster of the frim and
to eliminate any .dried
residue.
Good housekeeping in-
side the family car can
znean extra dollars at
trade-in time, so it should
be worth your effort to
keep it tidy anc spotless.,
