cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners that may scratch or dull the surface.

on the material.

• Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area before applying

to the entire surface.

• Do not allow cleaners to sit or soak on the surface.

• Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately aer

cleaner application. Rinse and dry any overspray that lands on nearby

surfaces.

• Use a so, dampened sponge or cloth. Never use an abrasive material such

as a brush or scouring pad to clean surfaces.
