  Care & Maintenance
 

Surface Laminate
To clean the surface, use a damp cloth or sponge and a mild soap or detergent. Difficult stains such as coffee or tea can be removed using a mild household cleaner and baking soda; mixing to achieve a paste consistency. Use a stiff nylon bristle brush, scrubbing (approx. 15-20 strokes) the affected area. Do not scrub so as to mar (damage, scratch) the surface finish.

Note: Scrubbing too hard or long can damage the surface finish.
Manufacturer instructions and additional cautionary notes

 

Stubborn Stains
Stubborn stains that resist any of the mentioned cleaning methods may require the use of undiluted household bleach or nail polish remover. Use a cotton ball saturated with bleach or nail polish remover (acetone), gently rub the stain for up to two minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and wipe dry using a soft cloth. This step may be repeated if the stain appears to be going away and the color of the laminate has not been affected.

Markerboard Laminate
Important Maintenance! For best performance, your markerboard will need to be "conditioned" regularly in order to retain erasability.

Normal Use
Wilsonart Marker Board Laminate can be cleaned using a felt or multi-purpose board eraser. When additional cleaning is required, a soft cloth dampened with warm tap water and mild soaps, such as those used for hands or dishes, is recommended. Various whiteboard cleaners/conditioners, such as Quartet, Expo®, or Windex®, available through local office supply stores, are excellent products for thorough cleaning. Remember to clean erasers often by wiping to remove dry-erase marker residue.

Fabric Panels and Frames Segments
Fabric may be cleaned with mild, water-free solvents or water-based cleaning agents or foam. For tough stains, we’ve found Shout® wipes to be an effective cleaner.

Caution
For normal cleaning, vacuum panel cloth as needed, using an upholstery attachment. Do not brush fabric or use a vacuum attachment with a rotary brush. Brushing may permanently damage the nap or change the character of the fabric.

 

Stubborn Stains
If stubborn stains persist, Marker Board Laminate can be cleaned with spray-type glass cleaners, such as Windex®.

Do not use cleansers that contain abrasives, acids or alkalis; they will damage the decorative surface. Remove stubborn stains with a 2-minute exposure to hypochlorite bleach, such as Clorox®, followed by a clean water rinse.

We recommend that you not allow any of the following reagents to remain in contact with the decorative surface:

  1. Hypochlorite bleach, except as described abov
  2. Hydrogen peroxide solution
  3. Mineral acids, hydrochloric acid, such as Lime-A-Way™, sulfuric or nitric acid
  4. Caustic solutions containing greater than 2% lye, such as Drano®
  5. Sodium bisulfate, such as Sani-Flush®
  6. Potassium permanganate
  7. Berry juices
  8. Silver nitrate, in 1% concentration or greater
  9. Gentian violet
  10. Mild silver protein, such as 20% Argyrol
  11. Bluing
  12. Fabric dye, such as Tintex® or Rit®
  13. Alcohol containing 1% iodine in solution
