Care and Cleaning Guide
The vinyl should be cleaned periodically in order to maintain its appearance and prevent build up
of dirt and contaminants. Any stains, spills, or soiling should be cleaned up promptly to prevent
the possibility of permanent staining. Use soft soapy solutions or special cleaning products for vinyl
fabrics to remove stains on the surface of the material. Remove only with a damp white cloth.
Lacquers, strong cleaners, detergents, exylene-based solutions, acetone, or ketone (MEK) cause
immediate damage and contribute to the deterioration of the material. The use of such cleaners
is at the owner's risk.
Daily Cleaning and Maintenance
1. Clean the entire surface using a mixture of 1 : 9 liquid soap (neutral pH) and water.
Do not use soap or cleaning solutions that contain alcohol, ketones, acetates or solvents
(mineral / white spirits).
2. Completely remove excess cleaner with a white, clean damp cloth.
3. Dry the surface.
