hello, the scoundrels are my children 2 years and 8 months. We are folding our trigano ranger and there seems to be some pretty horrific stains on the upholstery, drinks spilled and have turned black. It says not to use detergent. Could any one please send me any pearls of wisdom and as we are folding it down for the winter.

Thanks

Feed them in the awning. I have a 100% cast iron rule of no food in the upper section of the TT, and no shes either. It's not just the greasy stains, its agains crumbs and mice.

More difficult to do this in a FC though I suppose, so I would hoover and wash every crevice to get crumbs out then take the cushions indoors for the winter. Use any upholstery foam or such, but make sure you rinse the residue out. Then make or get made a set of water-resistant (poly/nylon or similar) covers for the cushions, that you can take off and wash when necessary.

Hi

I found this a really useful bit of info directly from the conway owners site:

Sorry Val, you can't ban shes from anywhere nowadays. Haven't you heard about the Sexual Discrimination Act?
