N - 5 REPLACEMENT UPHOLSTERY
C. Cleaning and Maintenance
The following information should be useful in helping
you keep your carpet looking well maintained.
™
Carpet made with Olefin fiber possesses built-in
stain and soil release for easy, less costly mainte-
nance. Regular vacuuming and occasional sham-
pooing will help it stay attractive and serviceable.
Should upholstery become severely soiled, torn, or in
some manner damaged, replacement upholstery
cushions are available. Larger upholstery items have
separate component parts for easier serviceability.
Depending upon the year and model of the boat, most
upholstery parts can be obtained through your Four
Winns servicing dealer within a short period of time.
D. Stain Removal Testing
STAIN
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
Even the most stubborn stains can be removed from
Olefin fiber following the procedures outlined. Stains
were selected as being representative of spills
commonly occurring on carpets. Stains were pressed
into the carpet to simulate foot pressure following a
spill. Stains were applied to a two-inch square section
and allowed to penetrate. Removal was performed
after two weeks. Carpets were tested for stain removal
by an independent laboratory. Stain removal was
effective for the all the stains selected. Results are
shown in the table on the following page.
