16 MONOLITH BASIN SYSTEM MANUAL
cleaning
The Splash Lab Monolith basins are matte/satin finish, unless otherwise specified at manufacture. The
surface can be cleaned with a mild solution of soapy water, ammonia-based cleaners or most commercially
available solid-surface cleaners. These will remove most dirt and other residue from the surface.
Cleaning Techniques
+
Washing with soap and water is usually su
ffi
cient to remove surface dirt or stains.
+
Ammonia based liquid cleaner (not window cleaner) can also be used. Always rinse surface thoroughly
and wipe dry.
+
Drying is an important step, preventing a build-up of soap film or cleaning residue, which can create the
appearance of light scratches over time.
+
Stubborn soap film or cleaning residue build-up on solid surfaces are easily removed with abrasive
cleaners and a white abrasive pad or sponge.
+
For darker colors, a polish may be used to enhance the shine. For areas where there is the possibility of
contact with food, a polish formulated for use in food-contact areas must be used. Where food contact
is not likely to occur, a simple furniture polish can be used. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions
for using the polish and for safety concerns.
