4. Cleaning and Maintenance
Stainless Steel:
When cleaning the stainless-steel body of your enclosure be sure to avoid bleach and cleaners with
chlorine as these will stain and damage the surface. Additionally, steel wool and brushes should be
avoided to preserve the polished finish.
Optical Glass Window:
It is important to routinely clean the surface of your enclosure’s window to maintain visibility. For glass,
make sure the surface is wet before cleaning to avoid scratching the surface. A microfiber towel is
recommended for wiping down the surface when you are finished washing.
