A few simple precautions will preserve the beauty of the acrylic.

• USE a soft, clean lint free cloth or micro fiber cloth and clean lukewarm
water to clean the surface. For stubborn dirt and stains use a mild, nonabrasive
soap and water mixture with the gentle cleaning cloth. Use only light pressure
when cleaning. Avoid rubbing dirt or grit into the surface. Turn the cloth often
