CHEMICAL DAMAGE: Never use cleaners containing acid or alkali. These cleaners will mar, etch, corrode, and may permanently discolor the decorative surface. Also, make sure that bottles, rags, and other materials contaminated with these cleaners never contact the surface. Accidental spills or splatters from these compounds should be wiped off immediately, and the area rinsed thoroughly with water. Examples of cleaners containing acid or alkali include, but are not limited to: • ceramic cooktop cleaners • oven cleaners • rust removers • coffeepot cleaners • drain cleaners • lime scale removers • toilet bowl cleaners • metal cleaners • tub and tile cleaners
SPECIAL CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RESIDUAL GLUE: Sometimes new panels may have a streaky appearance caused by adhesive used during fabrication. Clean with a non-abrasive cotton cloth and an adhesive solvent such as acetone. Use solvent sparingly, as excessive amounts may deteriorate the adhesive at the edges. Read and follow all warnings and instructions on the labels of all solvent products. SPECIAL CLEANING REC
