Care and Cleaning Instructions
Cleaning the Acrylic Shell
The cross-linked cast acrylic surface is among the highest quality surfaces available. Its hard, non-porous surface prevents
dirt from accumulating and resists stains better than other materials. With normal use, cast acrylic will retain its beauty with
only a minimal amount of care. To maintain the elegant look of the cast acrylic surface, follow the steps below.
When Cleaning:
•
Remove dust and dry dirt with a soft, damp cloth.
•
Apply common household, non-abrasive cleaner in accorance with manufacturer’s directions and precautions.
(i.e., a mild dishwashing detergent such as Ivory Liquid). Do not use unless the product label specifically states that it is
safe for acrylic.
•
Rinse well and dry with a soft, clean cloth. Scouring pads will deteriorate the finish.
•
Never use any type of “scrubbing bubbles” or aerosol spray cleaners on your acrylic product unless it specifically
states that it is safe for use on acrylic.
•
Harsh chemicals, such as bleach and ammonia, will deteriorate the finish.
•
Never use abrasive cleansers. If any product feels gritty when rubbed between your fingers, do not use on the
acrylic surface or controls as permanent damage will occur.
NOTICE: Check cleaning and bathing product labels. Some non-abrasive products WILL damage the acrylic over time.
General Care:
•
Do not allow your cast acrylic surface to come into contact with nail polish, nail polish remover, Wintergreen oil,
dry cleaning solution, lacquer thinners, gasoline, pine oil, etc.
•
Avoid using razor blades or other sharp objects that might scratch the surface.
•
Small scratches can be removed by applying a thin coat of automotive polishing liquid and buffing lightly with a
clean cloth. For deeper scratches, sand the surface lightly with a 400 grit “wet or dry” paper and buff with a
fine grit buffing compound
•
MTI strongly recommends a professional acrylic repair person for deep scratches, chips or gouges.
•
Damage occurring to the unit during installation is the responsibility of the installer, and after installation, the
responsibility of the user.
