Care and Maintenance

Do not use acid or alkaline detergents, agents with bleaching additives, abrasive powders, steel wool, sponges or the like. Do not use furniture polish or solvents to care for painted surfaces.

Anything hot or humid can cause surface damage. Pointed or sharp objects, such as blades or knives, can cause damage to the surface.
For the cleaning and care, regularly wipe the surfaces with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust while avoiding abrasion. For soft-finish painted surfaces, use a soft, lint-free, slightly damp cloth.

If heavily soiled, painted surfaces can be cleaned with a neutral, silicone-free detergent. Finally, it is essential to gently rub dry surfaces, so that there is no residual moisture.
