Care and Cleaning Instructions — General
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.
•
Never use any type of “scrubbing bubbles” or aerosol spray cleaners on your product.* Do not
use harsh chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, 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.
•
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.
MTI strongly recommends contacting a surface repair professional for deep scratches or chips.
Damage occurring to the unit during installation is the responsibility of the installer, and after
installation, the responsibility of the user.
•
Use common household, non-abrasive cleaners for most cleaning jobs. Use cleaners labeled
specifically for use on solid surface, such as granite.* Follow manufacturer’s directions and
precautions. Rinse well and dry with a soft, clean cloth.
•
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.
•
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.
