Caring for Worksurfaces and Other Hard Surfaces
• Laminate Tops, Painted and Plated Metals and Plastics:
-Wiping with a damp cloth will remove general soiling and water-borne stains. If needed, use hard surface, all purpose
cleaner such as Formula 409®, Fantastic®, etc. Some oil-borne stains will require the use of a dry-cleaning fluid or
naphtha.
• Torus Vinyl Edge:
-Clean the vinyl edge with a damp, soft cloth using a soap based cleaner. (Formula 409® or a concentrated industrial
cleaner is recommended.) Excessively soiled edging may require some rubbing to clean satisfactorily. (NOTE: To
prevent staining, ink should be removed as soon as possible. DO NOT use paint thinners or solvent-based products to clean vinyl edging.)
• Wood Tops:
-Cleaning:
Use a cleaner of flax soap formulated especially for wood furniture. Dilute the cleaner according to the manufacturer's
directions. Dampen, but do not saturate, a soft cloth with the diluted
cleaner and wipe the surface in the direction of the wood grain. Wipe the surface clean with
a soft, dry cloth. Oils and ammonia-containing cleaners should not be used on wood surfaces.
-Dusting:
Clean with a slightly damp, soft cloth, using another soft cloth to dry. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the wood grain.
-Waxing:
Quality spray wax may be applied sparingly twice a year. Excessive waxing may leave a wax build-up which feels sticky
and attracts an unusual amount of dirt.
-Hardware:
Clean metal finishes with a non-abrasive cleaner. Apply the cleaner sparingly, making sure that it does not come into
contact with the wood. Wipe the hardware dry with a clean, soft cloth.
• Recommendations for Wood Tops:
-Use desk pads and coasters to help protect against dents, moisture and heat.
-Use felt of leather pads on the bottoms of office equipment and accessories.
-Lift objects when moving them instead of pulling or pushing them across the surface.
-Periodically move desk accessories on the worksurface to assure even aging.
-Avoid leaving vinyl binders on worksurface for long periods.
-If a protective glass top is used, insert felt pads between the glass and the worksurface.
-Keep wood furniture away from direct sunlight.
-Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity. Maintain temperatures between 60° and 80° F and humidity between 30 and 50%.
