Partition Privacy

Maintenance

NavcompactTM surfaces are easy to clean using a cloth dampened with warm water and detergent. If in doubt about a particular cleaneror detergent, check with its manufacturer for the suitability. We recommend you test on a small area or sample prior to applying to the surface. Avoid the use of acetone or trichloroethylene for cleaning purposes. Use of abrasive cleaners, powders, scouring pads, steelwool, sandpaper etc. can damage the finish and make the surface susceptible to staining. Accidental spills or splatters from these harsh materials should be wiped off immediately, and the area cleaned thoroughly with a damp cloth. Examples of these materials are: Ceramic cooktop cleaners, tub and tile cleaners, chlorine bleach, oven cleaners, and harsh detergents.
