CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS: ArmorShield is easy to clean. In most cases, use a clean, damp, nonabrasive cotton cloth and a mild liquid detergent or household cleaner. Always rinse with clean water and a clean, non-abrasive cotton cloth. Dry the panels with a soft, clean, non-abrasive cotton cloth.
DO NOT USE abrasive cleaners with bleach, cleaners with acid, alkali or sodium hypochlorite. They will damage and permanently discolor the surface. Be sure that bottles, rags or other materials with these cleaners should never meet the surface.
Examples of harsh cleaners to avoid, include but are not limited to:
- Bleach
- Drain Cleaners
- Metal Cleaners
- Oven Cleaners
- Rust Removers
- Tub and Tile Cleaners
- Lime Scale Remover
STAIN REMOVAL: To remove stains, use full strength Fantastik, All Purpose Cleaner, Formula 409, Pine-Sol, or other mild household cleaners. Dab with a clean, damp, non-abrasive cotton cloth, and rinse with clean water. Cleaners may change formulation and can be harmful to the surface, make sure to do a test area. ArmorShield Partitions cannot be held responsible for these changes. Follow all directions and warnings on the cleaner label because many are extremely flammable. Dyes and pharmaceutical products will permanently stain the panels. These include but are not limited to; hair dyes and rinses, silver nitrate, laundry bluing, tannic acid, povidone-iodine, dermatological tar compounds, and peroxide. To reduce these stains, apply a paste of baking soda and water on the area to pull out the stain. Do not rub, as the paste will be slightly abrasive. Wipe up the paste with a clean, damp, nonabrasive cotton cloth, and rinse with clean water.
