care and cleaning

Transolid Expressions solid surface products are stain and abra-

sion resistant; however, the finish requires reasonable care.

iMPortant notice

Because cleaning products change over time, always check the 

manufacturer’s instructions to make sure it is compatible with 

solid surface acrylic. DO NOT use a cleaner if the label indi-

cates it should not be used on solid surface acrylics. DO NOT 

use spray-on cleaners that require daily use without immedi-

ately rinsing with water to stop the chemical cleaning reaction 

because damage will result and void the warranty.

day-to-day clean-up

Simply wipe the surface with a clean towel to remove water-

marks and residues. All Transolid

®

 Expressions products can 

be cleaned with warm water, a soft cloth, and normal house-

hold detergents or cleansers, such as Clorox Clean-up, Mr. 

Clean,Dow Scrubbing Bubbles, Formula 409. Always rinse off 

cleaners within five minutes of application.

Occasional scrubbing with household abrasive cleaners en-

sures that the original luster is maintained.

caulking Joints

Inspect caulking joints monthly for damage or any signs of sep-

aration from the mating surface. Cracks in the caulking will allow 

water to leak into the surrounding surfaces. 

reapply caulking 

to any joint showing signs of wear or cracking

. Failure to 

inspect and repair caulking jpints will void the warranty.
