Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions
IMPORTANT: Strong alkaline or acid-based chemicals and cleansers should not be used to
clean Terreon®. If these chemicals come in contact with the Terreon® surface,
wipe off the surface immediately and flush with soapy water.
Terreon® maintenance
The MG-WR waste receptacle cover is made of Terreon®, a solid cast polyester resin material.
Terreon® resists chemicals, stains, burns and impact, and is repairable with everyday cleaners or
fine grit abrasives. With regular cleaning, your MG-WR waste receptacle will provide years of
dependable service.
Stainless Steel Receptacle maintenance
Stainless steel is extremely durable, and maintenance is simple and inexpensive. Proper care,
particularly under corrosive conditions, is essential. Ordinary deposits of dirt and grease are quickly
removed with soap and water. Whenever possible, the metal should be thoroughly rinsed and dried
after washing. To remove tightly adhering deposits, use stainless steel polishing powder. In all cases,
rub in the direction of the stainless steel grain.
IMPORTANT: Never use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes on stainless steel. Always use
stainless steel wool or stainless steel brushes.
Avoid prolonged contact with chlorides, bromides, thiocyanates, and iodides on stainless steel
equipment, especially if acid conditions exist. Do not permit salty solutions to evaporate and dry on
stainless steel. The appearance of rust streaks on stainless steel leads to the belief that the stainless
steel is rusting. Look for the actual source of the rust in some iron or steel particles which may be
touching, but not actually a part of the stainless steel structure. NOTE: Strongly acidic or caustic
cleaners may attack the steel causing a reddish film to appear. The use of these cleaners should be
avoided.
IMPORTANT: To sustain original finish, additional care is recommended for dark colored solid
surfaces to maintain highest quality color. The original luster can be maintained
by periodically applying furniture polish, mineral oil or a solid surface cleaner or
polish. Length of time between applications varies with usage.
• For regular cleaning, use standard commercial or household products such as Formula 409® or Windex®.
• Remove tough stains with Ajax®, Comet® or Soft-Scrub® and a green Scotch-Brite® pad or
lightly sand in a circular motion with 240 grit wet/dry sandpaper. The finish can be renewed with
a maroon Scotch-Brite® pad.
• Remove scratches with a green Scotch-Brite® pad. The finish can be renewed with a maroon
Scotch-Brite® pad. Remove hard water build-up with a mild solution of vinegar and water.
