General Cleaning Instructions

METAL SURFACES

Clean with a mild, non-abrasive soap with warm water and a clean, soft cotton cloth. Never use an abrasive or harsh cleaning agent or a chemical cleaning agent.

LAMINATE SURFACES

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean all laminate surfaces. For smudges or fingerprints, dampen a cloth with any standard non-abrasive, non-bleach, household cleaner and wipe clean.
Note: Do not use products with bleach on laminate.

PLASTIC SURFACES

All plastic components may be cleaned with mild spray cleaner. A soft bristle brush may be required for the textured areas.

FABRIC

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean or use a fabric cleaner. Never hose down or soak the fabric.

CLEAR POLYCARBONATE

We recommend a mild solution of water and dish detergent applied with a soft cloth. The first step to cleaning your clear polycarbonate is to remove all the dust and dirt from it. In order to do this, you can either blow the debris off the polycarbonate or use water and a soft cloth to float the debris off. After you have removed the debris from your polycarbonate you should clean it with a mild solution of warm water and dish detergent. DO NOT use a cleaner containing ammonia.

Product Specific Cleaning and Disinfecting

ACOUSTICAL PANELS

Cleaning Unfinished Panels
Clean unpainted, white plastic Diffuser Panels with a non-abrasive, mild detergent or household window cleaner. Difficult to remove stains can be removed with a mildlyabrasive household cleaner if it is applied gently. Apply the mildly-abrasive household cleaner with gentle care to avoid hazing or scratching the panel finish.

Cleaning Painted Panels
Clean painted plastic Diffuser Panels only with mild soapy water. If it is necessary to use a commercial cleaner to remove a difficult stain, try the cleaner on a hidden area first to see if the paint is affected by the cleaner (to make sure that the cleaner does not bleach or remove the paint entirely).

Cleaning Fabric-Covered Panels
Clean fabric-covered panels by vacuuming with a soft brush attachment or using a lowpressure air nozzle outdoors or in a well ventilated space. The Wenger standard fabric is polyester. Stains can be removed by using a fabric cleaner designed for polyester. Blotting a soiled area is recommended. Brushing or other aggressive methods can damage the fabric and should be avoided. It is always a good practice to test the cleaning method and solution on the back side of the Panel to make sure that the fabric color, texture, and adhesion are not affected. To clean custom fabrics, use only cleaners and methods that are recommended by the fabric manufacturer.

Cleaning Absorber Panels
Never use excessive amounts of water or liquid cleaners on absorber panels. Absorber panels absorb liquids and required extended time to dry promoting mold and mildew growth.

ACOUSTICAL SHELLS

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean all surfaces. Do not spray cleaner on gears or moveable parts. For smudges or fingerprints, dampen a cloth with any standard nonabrasive household cleaner and wipe clean.

POLYCARBONATE MUSIC STANDS, CONDUCTORS' STANDS & MULTI-USE SHIELDS

Clean the music stand with a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning products.
