Cleaning External Painted Surfaces featuring “Anti-bacterial Paint Finish”
The water bath should be cleaned at regular intervals wiping external surfaces with a cloth or sponge
soaked in warm soapy water with a mild detergent. All surfaces should be cleaned using a soft cloth or
sponge.
Do not under any circumstances use strong solvents or solutions containi
ng Chlorinated Hydocarbons, Esters, Ketones or abrasive cleaners or polish
on the paint finish otherwise it damages the built
in anti-bacterial properties.
All painted surfaces on Clifton range products features an “Anti-bacterial
paint finish” identified with this authenticating logo on the unit.
This “Anti-bacterial paint finish” inhibits the growth of bacteria. It has been
tested by independent specialist test houses such as the Law Laboratories (in
the UK) using internationally recognized test methods and proven to be effec-
tive versus a wide range of bacteria species including Escherichia coli and
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
We recognise hygienic coatings are part of a controlled approach to a cleaner
working environment. Within its formulation an active ingredient with proven anti-bacterial properties
is bound into the paint finish. The efficacy of the paint finish applied to the Clifton range is maintained
over its lifetime, as the anti-bacterial agent is integral within the paint.
In a laboratory environment it makes this one less source of contamination, contributing to essential
clean working practices. A benefit of such a paint finish can lead to a reduction in cleaning schedules
because surfaces are more protected and improves protection between cleaning. Unlike detergents
“Anti-bacterial paint finish” does not offer an instantaneous action, but is intended for long-term
general protection against bacterial growth.
Moisture on the painted surface is necessary for the bacterium to absorb the agent and be affected
by it. The coating is therefore less active in very dry conditions, but dependent upon relative humid-
ity, moisture in the atmosphere maintains activity. Areas where moisture is trapped are also areas
that normally are difficult to clean and where bacteria proliferate but these areas are most active for
the anti-bacterial coating improving the defence against bacterial growth.
Cleaning the Stainless Steel Tank
The stainless steel crevice free tank with smooth corners should provide years of valuable service and is
resistant to chloride containing solutions it is however important to avoid high concentrations of halo-
gens - especially chloride. With such a high quality and resistant tank it may show symptoms of these
halogens as rust, which are deposits from external sources in the water supply.
We recommend always empty the bath of liquid after use and wipe out the internal faces of the tank with
a non-abrasive cloth and allow to dry. Any deposits can be removed with nitric acid (10%) on a cloth.
WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT!
It is also recommended to use an accessory lid to prevent contaminates landing in bath liquids.
