3. MAINTAINANCE
Xonyx™ solid surface baths and shower trays are finished with a silky surface finish.
Xonyx™ is a very durable product that will last for years with simple care. Follow the
recommendations below to properly clean Xonyx™ solid surface product.
3.1. EVERYDAY CARE
• It is recommended to clean the bathtub/shower cabin immediately after every use
with thorough rinse of warm water and dry with soft and dry cloth to avoid water
stains.
• Washing with soap or hand dishwashing liquid and water is usually sufficient to re-
move surface dirt or stains.
• Upon need of thorough cleaning wide variety of bath cleaning sprays sold with
safety labelling allowing the cleaning of such surface or commercially available solid
surface cleaners are effective.
• Drying is an important step, preventing a build-up of soap film or cleaning residue,
which can create the appearance of light scratches over time.

3.2. PREVENTING DAMAGE

Some chemicals are not compatible with Solid Surface materials, and could perma-
nently harm the surface beyond repair. Avoid surface contact with:
• Strong chlorinated solvents
• Chloroform
• Ketones
• Methylene chloride, acetone, turpentine (paint removers, nail polish remover)
• Very strong acids such as concentrated sulfuric and hydrochloric acids
• Acid drain cleaners, stove and toilet cleaning products should not be used
• Other unknown chemicals or chemicals not allowed for cleaning of Solid Surface
materials
Surfaces exposed to these chemicals should be promptly flushed with water; contact
may cause spots that may require extensive repairs. Remove nail polish with a non-
acetone-based nail polish remover and flush with water.
• Avoid subjecting Xonyx™ Solid Surface to extreme hot temperatures or hot objects.
Solid Surface has excellent heat resistant properties. However, placing heat-generat-
ing appliances or hot objects, can damage the surface.
• Avoid exposing Xonyx™ Solid Surface to strong chemicals listed above.
• Never cut on a Solid Surface surface to avoid scratching the surface.
• Avoid dropping heavy and/or sharp objects on the surface as it may harm the sur-
face or altogether break the product beyond repair
