Care and Maintenance Instructions:
Your MagnaBox Next Generation Professional Whelping Box is constructed of material specifically developed to
endure the constant punishment of the sun, water and weather. Unlike wood, wood laminates and ordinary
plastic, it will not warp, discolor, or delaminate. It’s made to maintain its shape, color and finish for the life of your
product.
The material is also chemically resistant. Most chemicals, except the harshest solvents and acids, will have little
effect on the material.
There isn’t much you have to do to keep you MagnaBox looking new. Following are a few tips on care and
maintenance to keep your MagnaBox looking good for many years.
•To clean everyday dirt and stains, use a cleaner such as Soft Scrub and a nylon scrubby or stiff nylon
brush. Scrub lightly, excess force can mar the finish.
•Persistent stains will usually go away if you soak the area with bleach (do not use 100% chlorine) and/or use
a pressure washer.
•To clean a petroleum stain such as grease or oil, use a citrus cleaner, alcohol or mineral spirits
•In severe cases, spray petroleum-based stains with WD40. Then use toluene or acetone and a white nylon
scrub pad. (colored pads release staining dyes when combined with acetone.)
•DO NOT use MEK, turpentine or naphtha solvent.
• If a mark or stain won’t come out, you may lightly sand the area. Be careful and only work on the stained
area because sanding will remove the matte finish.
