PLEXIGLASS AND ACRYLIC CARE
Cleaning
Clean with nonabrasive detergent and lukewarm
water, using the bare hand to feel and dislodge
any caked-on dirt. A soft, grit-free cloth, sponge
or chamois may be used, but only as a means of
carrying the water to the plastic. Dry with a clean
damp chamois or clean soft cloth such as cotton
flannel. Do not use hard, rough cloth or paper
towels as they will scratch the acrylic.
Waxing
Wax should be applied in a thin even coat, and
brought to a high polish by rubbing lightly with a
clean, dry soft cloth, such as a cotton flannel.
Excessive rubbing may cause scratching and/or
build up an electrostatic charge which attracts
contaminants. Remove an electrostatic charge by
blotting with a clean damp cloth.
Anti-static Coatings
Anti-static coatings may be used indoors to pre-
vent the accumulation of electrostatic charge for
periods of several months so long as the surface
is not washed or wiped down with a wet cloth.
Between applications, acrylic parts are dusted
with a soft clean cloth to maintain appearance.
Liquid Anti-static coatings should be applied
according to manufacturer’s directions.
CLEANING MIRRORS
Mirrors are sheets of clear glass that have very
thin reflective and protective coatings applied to
one side. These coatings are susceptible to dete-
rioration if certain cleaning solutions and even
water are allowed to come in contact with them.
Every precaution should be taken to keep all
liquids away from the coated side of the mirrors.
I
F LIQUIDS ARE ALLOWED TO FLOW ALONG THE
FACE SIDE OF THE MIRROR TO ITS EDGE
,
THE LIQUID
CAN
SEEP UP BETWEEN THE COATING AND THE
GLASS
,
CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE
.
To Help Prolong the Life of the Mirrors:
• Use only mild glass cleaning products or a
weak solution of vinegar and water.
• Do NOT spray liquids on the mirrors.
Dampen the cleaning cloth, then use the cloth
to wipe the mirror.
• Wipe water from the mirrors immediately to
prevent difficult to remove water spots and also
to prevent the water from reaching the mirror’s
edge.
• Never use dirty cloths, scrapers or any other
abrasive materials for cleaning.
