Vinyl Care and Cleaning
All cleaning methods must be followed by a thorough rinse with clean warm water.
Certain household cleaners, powdered abrasives, steel wool, and industrial 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 pattern and gloss. Waxes should be used with caution as many contain dyes or solvents
that can permanently damage the protective coating. *Suntan lotion, tree pollen, wet leaves, and some other products can contain dyes that stain permanently.
*Always Remove Stains Immediately!
Failure to care for your vinyl properly, or use of improper
cleaners may void your warranty & damage your vinyl.
