Chevrolet Malibu Owner Manual - 2011

Vehicle Care 10-95

Do not clean the interior using the

following cleaners or techniques:

.

Never use a knife or any other

sharp object to remove a soil

from any interior surface.

.

Never use a stiff brush. It can

cause damage.

.

Never apply heavy pressure or

rub aggressively with a cleaning

cloth. Use of heavy pressure can

damage the interior and does

not improve the effectiveness of

soil removal.

.

Avoid laundry detergents or

dishwashing soaps with

degreasers. Using too much

soap will leave a residue that

leaves streaks and attracts dirt.

For liquid cleaners, about

20 drops per 3.78 L (1 gal) of

water is a good guide. Use only

mild, neutral-pH soaps.

.

Do not heavily saturate the

upholstery while cleaning.

.

Cleaners that contain solvents

can damage the interior.

Fabric/Carpet

Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft

brush attachment to remove dust

and loose dirt. A canister vacuum

with rotating brushes in the nozzle

may only be used on floor carpet

and carpeted floor mats. For soils,

always try to remove them first with

plain water or club soda. Before

cleaning, gently remove as much of

the soil as possible using one of the

following techniques:

.

For liquids: gently blot the

remaining soil with a paper

towel. Allow the soil to absorb

into the paper towel until no

more can be removed.

.

For solid dry soils: remove as

much as possible and then

vacuum.

To clean:

1. Saturate a lint-free, clean white

cloth with water or club soda.

2. Remove excess moisture.

3. Start on the outside edge of the

soil and gently rub toward the

center. Continue cleaning, using

a clean area of the cloth each

time it becomes soiled.

4. Continue to gently rub the

soiled area.

5. If the soil is not completely

removed, use a mild soap

solution and repeat the cleaning

process with plain water.

If any of the soil remains, a

commercial fabric cleaner or spot

lifter may be necessary. Test a small

hidden area for colorfastness before

using a commercial upholstery

cleaner or spot lifter. If the locally

cleaned area gives any impression

that a ring formation may result,

clean the entire surface.

A paper towel can be used to blot

excess moisture from the fabric or

carpet after the cleaning process.
