220 Slate 220 Slate 220 Slate Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions Lockers Cleaning Recommendations Powder Coat Finishes: • It is recommended that powder coatings are cleaned with a solution of neutral detergents and warm water, using a non-abrasive abrasive cloth, sponge or extra soft bristle brush. Abrasive cleaners and/or cloths should be avoided because they can scratch the coating surface. • Some commercial cleaning products can damage the powder coating film. We strongly recommend that these are tested on an area that is not visible to determine if the coating appearance is affected. • NEVER use solvents (such as acetone, Methyl Ethy Ethyll Ketone (MEK), paint thinners) to clean powder coated finishes. These solvents are very damaging to powder coat and will soften and/or dissolve the surface of the coating, diminishing its shine and durability or removing the finish altogether. • For cases where the soap and water is not effective on heavy soils, isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or mild mineral spirits may be tried, however, we strongly recommend that this is tested on an area that is not visible to determine if the coating appearance is affected. • Alll cleaning material should be wiped off immediately to avoid any staining. Stainless Steel Finishes: • All stainless steel products may be routinely cleaned with a solution of mild detergents and warm water. For brushed surface finishes, the cleaning strok strokes es should follow the grain (polish lines), not across it. • To remove fingerprints, use soap and warm water, or proprietary spray cleaning fluids containing an organic solvent (such as acetone, alcohol, and methylated spirits). • For stubborn stains, use mild d cleaning solutions, ensuring that any proprietary cleaners state their compatibility with stainless steel. Mild household cream cleaning agents containing carbonate additions are usually effective. • Hard water scales (lime deposits) are best removed with one part vinegar to three parts water. Soak affected area in solution and brush to loosen. • After cleaning, rinse with clean water. For best results, wipe dry the cleaned surface using overlapping strokes, following the grain (for brushed surfaces). • A damp cloth or chamois are suitable for removing normal soiling, fingerprints, and some stains. Use a soft bristle brush (such as a toothbrush) for more stubborn stains. For patterned finishes, use a soft nylon brush. Non-stainless stainless steel based scouring pads, cleaning wool or wire brushes must not be used on stainless steel. • Cleaning agents that should NOT be used on stainless steel are those containing chloride, especially hydrochloric acid; hypochlorite bleaches; silver silver-cleaning solutions. If any of these are applied accidentally, rinse off immediately with plenty of fresh water. Wood Finishes: • All wood finishes are recommended to be cleaned regularly with mild detergent and warm water. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry.
