MAINTENANCE
Keep stair treads and nosings free of debris and dirt by sweeping or vacuuming regularly. Heavy-duty
commercial cleaners will not harm nosings but are generally not necessary. If nosings are damaged,
please contact the factory for a repair kit or replacement nosings.
Cleaning
•
Treads should be swept with a broom or vacuumed with a heavy-duty commercial vacuum cleaner at
least once a week.
•
When needed, scrub surface vigorously with a stiff bristled brush using a mild detergent.
Do not use
any product containing solvents, such as Acetone. It will break down the abrasive adhesive
.
We
suggest using Murphy
’s
Oil Soap® or Simple Green®. Rinse thoroughly with water after cleaning.
•
Scuff marks on the aluminum nose can be removed by rubbing with a fine steel wool and a
commercial cleaning agent.

To remove snow and ice, use deicing compounds such as calcium chloride or sodium chloride.
