Cleaning Instructions
The
generic cleaning instructions noted below are intended for use with all
Covercraft covers but you should refer to the instruction sheet enclosed with
the car cover for any fabric specific care instructions.
Car cover
fabric performance can be severely affected by dirt that builds up on and
within the material. It can cause the windshield and paint to become dirty and
“fogged” as well as create “wicking” where it actually helps pull water through
the fabric, nullifying any water resistant properties the fabric may have had.
Cleaning your cover will help to keep your vehicle clean and to increase the
service life of the cover.
NEVER...Clean a car cover in a washer with a center agitator (except
WeatherShield® fabric covers).
NEVER...Use fabric softener.
NEVER...Dry a non-woven or specialty type cover in a dryer.
(WeatherShield® fabric & Form-Fit™ covers can be dried in a dryer with
regular heat; polycotton, cotton and flannel can be dried on low heat.)
1 - Using a large commercial washer without agitator, wash the cover using 1/4
cup of Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner (some WeatherShield covers are compact
enough to be washed in a normal size washer). Put the cover in the washer and
pour the cleaner in the tub after it’s filled with warm water or pour it
directly in the machine (some wall mounted commercial units), then put in the
cover and start the machine .
2 - Rinse the cover twice (2X) to remove all the cleaner.
3 - Air dry (unless it’s one of the covers noted above that can be dried in a
dryer with regular or low heat).
A cover may also be cleaned by turning it inside-out on the vehicle.
1 - Mix one ounce Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner per quart of warm water.
2 - Spray or sponge onto cover.
3 - Rinse with plain water (until no suds) and allow to air dry.
Simple Green is available in most world markets.
