The New Metallics are
made of Nytek, a specially engineered nylon fiber
matrix. It is designed with a built-in stain resistant
finish that will not wash or wear off and does not
require a topically applied spray.
Ordinary dirt, smudges
and water soluble stains, such as coffee, tea, juice,
soft drinks, milk, beer, wine, etc... can be removed
with mild soap and water. Use a clean cloth or soft
sponge to dab the stain with soapy water, mixed according
to the manufacturer's directions. Remove the soap
solution by wiping the area with a cloth and clean
water. Dry with a soft lint-free cloth or towel.
Very stubborn stains
or non-water soluble stains can be removed with a
mild solvent such as naphtha (lighter fluid, paint
thinner). Lightly wipe the stain with a clean cloth
which has been moistened with solvent. Blot the area
with a dry cloth and allow to dry.
Many ink and magic marker
stains can be removed using a solution of one part
Wisk detergent and one part rubbing alcohol. Dab lightly
with a cloth which has been moistened with the solution.
Do not rub. As the ink loosens, blot the area with
a dry cloth. Repeat if necessary. Rinse with a cloth
dampened in clean water, and dry with a soft cloth.
For commercial installations
use mild soap and water for general cleaning. Avoid
using cleaners containing abrasives or bleach. Disinfectants
can be used provided they are evaluated beforehand.
Technical bulletins outlining specific cleaning and
disinfecting procedures for these products used in
health care applications are available.
These simple cleaning
methods will ensure the long-lasting beauty and elegance
of the New Metallics.
