creme should be used regularly. First use recommended products listed below, then use cleaner creme.

To Prevent:

  Daily and proper use of cleaner creme.

To Remove:

Wet surface with water and sprinkle on cleaner creme.

Scrub with clean, damp paper towel until stain disappears.

Clean remaining paste away with damp paper towel.

Apply dab of cleaner creme and polish with a clean paper towel.
