Acrylic CXL Surface Care and Cleaning
TM
About the Acrylic Shell
Cast acrylic is a stain-resistant, non-porous material. With normal use, the acrylic will retain its inherently glossy
appearance with only a minimal amount of care.
When Cleaning
• Remove dust and dry dirt with a soft, damp cloth.
• Apply common household, non-abrasive cleaner in accordance with manufacturer's directions and precautions.
(i.e., a mild dishwashing detergent such as Dawn). 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.
• 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
system controls as permanent damage will occur.
WARNING: Check cleaning and bathing product labels. DO NOT use unless the product label specifically states that it is safe for
acrylic. Some non-abrasive products 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 surface 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.
DoloMatte Surface Care and Cleaning
TM
MTI Designer DoloMatte is among the most renewable, high-quality surfaces available. Its hard, non-porous surface resists stains. With
normal use DoloMatte will retain its beauty with only a minimal amount of care. To maintain its elegant look, follow these simple steps:
• MTI recommends cleaning with a soft, damp cloth and any mild dish soap and water. Fingerprints may be removed with denatured
alcohol applied to a soft cloth.
• Use common household, non-abrasive cleaners for most cleaning jobs. Use cleaners labeled specifically for use on plastic.* Follow
manufacturer's directions and precautions. Rinse well and dry with a soft, clean cloth.
• Never use any type of "scrubbing bubbles" or aerosol spray cleaners on your product.* DO NOT use harsh chemicals such as
hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, paint thinner, chloride solvents, or other solvents with strong acid or base. Also avoid any cleaners
that include lime removal agents such as CLR or Lime-Away.
• For more stubborn stains, a mild abrasive cleaner such as Soft Scrub, Bon Ami or Barkeeper's Friend may be used. A gray or red
Scotch Brite pad may be used.
• DO NOT allow nail polish, nail polish remover, hair dye, Wintergreen oil, dry cleaning solution, lacquer thinners, gasoline, pine oil, etc.
to come in contact with the DoloMatte surface.
• Avoid using razor blades or other sharp objects that might scratch the surface.
• Small scratches may be removed by sanding with 600 grit wet/dry paper followed by cleaning with a mildly abrasive cleaner such
those noted above.
MTI strongly recommends contacting a surface repair professional for deep scratches or chips.
* Be sure to check the product label. Some products, although not containing abrasives, WILL damage the product over time.
