CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ACRYLIC SHELL
The cross-linked cast acrylic surface of all MTI acrylic products is among the glossiest, highest quality surfaces
available. Its hard, non-porous surface prevents dirt from accumulating and resists stains better than other mate-
rials. With normal use, cast acrylic will retain its beauty with only a minimal amount of care. To maintain the high
gloss, elegant look of the cast acrylic surface, follow these simple steps:
Use common household, non-abrasive cleaners for most cleaning jobs (for example: a mild dishwashing
detergent such as Ivory Liquid). Follow manufacturer’s directions and precautions. Do not use unless the
product label specifically states that it is safe for acrylic. Rinse well and dry with a soft, clean cloth. Be
sure to check the product label. Some products, although not containing abrasives, WILL damage the acrylic
over time.
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!
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.
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.
Remove dust and dry dirt with a soft, damp cloth.
Clean grease, oil, paint or ink stains with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Avoid using razor blades or other sharp objects that might scratch the surface. Small scratches can be re-
moved 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 or chips.
