Surface Cleaning Tips
Caution: Do not try to clean surfaces that are made of pressed paper, cardboard, or any surface that
is painted with a non-enamel paint.
Walls
Use the Large Triangular Brush (35) with a towel at low pressure. Use light detergent if the surface has oil-
based stains, either directly on the surface or on the towel. Work with light motions across the fiberglass in
the direction of the grain.
Porcelain Fixtures
Use only the Small Nylon Detail Brush (39) as dictated by space. Use low pressure. Use only a light hand
pressure on the brush.
For rust stains, use a non-scouring detergent without bleach if the porcelain is colored. Or mix your own
rust remover by creating a paste of salt and lemon juice. Use the Medium Round Nylon Brush (38).
Caution:
It is possible to scratch porcelain with the nylon bristles on the brushes and to dis-color some
enamel paints with too much heat. Use only a low vapor setting and light surface pressure. Wrap a towel
over the brush and re-clean the surface if scratching occurs.
Soap Scum
Soap Scum dissolves almost immediately under a combination of heat and moisture. Use the Large
Triangular Brush (35) with a towel clipped over it at medium pressure and move quickly. Rinse the surface
with a small amount of water afterwards or go back over it once more with a clean towel.
Note:
Soap scum sometimes will develop a hard surface from water-born minerals. If this occurs, use the
Large Triangular Brush (35) with no towel first to break up the surface, or spray or wipe first with a mild
acid such as vinegar, lemon juice or seltzer water to soften the minerals.
Moving too slowly can dry out the soap scum and cause it to granulate on the surface. The surface will
have a gritty feel. If this happens, apply vapor to the surface with the open brush again and re-clean.
