The unholstery material in closed cars is exposed to dirt and weather conditions which will cause wear and deterioration unless the proper care is given the upholstery. It is desirable at least once a month or more frequently, if necessary, to clean the upholstery with a vacuum cleaner and a whisk broom. If the material becomes spotted, a cleaning fluid should be used for removing the spots and when this has thoroughly evaporated apply a hot flat iron wrapped in a wet cloth. Steaming the fabric and rubbing lightly against the nap will raise the nap to its normal position. Flooi carpets may be cleaned by rubbing with a sqonge soaked in petrol.
