Do not use any silicone-based protectants because they will
extract the plasticizers, leaving the vinyl hard and brittle.
(Eventually cracking will occur.)
Certain household cleaners, powdered abrasives, steel wool,
and solvent cleaners can cause damage and discoloration
and are not recommended. Dry cleaning uids and lacquer
solvents should not be used as they will remove printed pat-
tern and gloss. Do not use bleach as it will deteriorate the
thread.
