Any product not listed above in the list of Acceptable Upholstery
Cleaners!
Do not use any silicone-based protectants because they will ex-
tract the plasticizers, leaving the vinyl hard and brittle. (Eventually
cracking will occur.)
Certain household cleaners, powdered abrasives, steel wool, and
solvent cleaners can cause damage and discoloration and are not
recommended. Dry cleaning uids and lacquer solvents should
not be used as they will remove printed pattern and gloss. Bleach
will deteriorate the thread.
