BASIC MAINTENANCE
Your steel laboratory table system components are manufactured with a chemical resistant powder
coating that is designed to withstand most of the standard chemicals used in a laboratory
environment. However, prolonged exposure may cause fading or discoloration. To assure that your
new casework keeps similar appearance for years, regularly clean all surfaces.
Clean up liquid spills immediately within the hour.
All exterior surfaces should be wiped regularly with glass cleaner or a solution of water and mild
dish soap. It is important to make sure that this cleaner is compatible with any other chemicals
within the laboratory. Any scratches or surface damages should immediately be touch-up to avoid
corrosion of the exposed metal. Never use abrasive material or steel wool since it might scratch
the finish.
The counter top surfaces can also be cleaned the same way. It is important to immediately wipe
any chemical spillage that may occur and rinse the surface with water. To bring the original luster
back, generously apply lemon oil with a gentle cloth and remove excess.
A meticulous examination of the electrical cables, plumbing hoses and connectors should be
accomplished at least once a year.
Stainless steel components and countertops should be cleaned with stainless steel cleaner. Wipe
only in the direction of the grain to avoid scratching the surface.
Touch-up Paint
For more information about touch-up paint, please get in touch with your local supplier or directly
with the Bedcolab/Bedco after sales service representatives.
