General Cleaning (as required)
Theacrylicsurfaceisnon-porousandmostmarksordirtshouldcomeoffquickly
andeasily.Werecommendusingamicrobreclothtowipetheshell.Formore
resistantmarksyoucandissolveasmallamountofbakingsodaintotheclothand
applyittothetargetedarea.
Fromtimetotimearing(sometimesreferredtoasscumringortideline)may
appearjustabovethewatersedge.Awipewithamicrobreclothwilltakecareof
this,butgoodwaterbalancewillgenerallypreventthisfromoccurringintherst
place.
