PA (nylon, polyamide) and PP
(polypropylene)
General Maintenance:
PA is a durable plastic type, which is resistant against many
chemicals and solvents. Do not use acid or strong bases.
It is resistant to oil containing products, gasoline, fat and
alcohol.
Everyday Cleaning:
For normal cleaning, wash plastic suaces with a so cloth
soaked in mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly
and dry with a so cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive
kitchen cleaners. In normal/daily cleaning use a dry cloth.
Light dirt can be removed with a damp cloth in lukewarm
water.
Thorough Cleaning:
For tougher stains use any mild solution of dishwashing
detergent and wipe with a hard-wrung wet cloth in clean
water and then with a dry cloth. Since PA is alcohol resistant,
you can ultimately use methylated spirit to remove dirt.
Metal (chrome, aluminium, powder
coated, etc.)
General Maintenance:
Coated metal products can scratch and scu. Use caution
when cleaning or moving products to avoid damaging or
scratching metal suaces.
Water can stain aluminum as well as cause damaged chro-
mium-plated and lacquered steel suaces to rust. To avoid
this, make sure metal items are kept dry at all times.
Everyday Cleaning:
Wash coated metal suaces with a so cloth soaked in de-
tergent and warm water; rinse thoroughly and dry.
For normal cleaning, apply a pre-soened paste wax to
polished aluminum components following the manufac-
turer’s instructions. Near salt water, apply wax once a month.
In other areas, apply wax once every three months to main-
tain appearance.
Thorough Cleaning:
Aluminum, chromium-plated steel can be wiped with a
cloth moistened with methylated spirits. CAUTION - fire risk!
Provide ventilation!
Remove scu marks from low-gloss coatings with pre-sof-
tened paste wax, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Remove scu marks and scratches from high-gloss coat-
ings using automotive polishing compounds, either liquid
or paste. Aer polishing, apply a pre-soened automotive
paste wax to restore original sheen.
Compact laminate
General Maintenance:
The non-porous suace is easy to clean. The decorative
suace and resin core of Compact Laminate is impervious
and resistant to most commonly used cleaning agents and
disinfectants.
