Remove dirt with warm soapy water or a soft sponge. Do not use any abrasive sponges! After cleaning the surface, wipe with water and dry with a dry cloth. Used cleansers should not contain flame retardants, strong alkalis, polymer dispersion preservatives and wax. Pastes and wood care products may also be inadequate.
Do not use alcohol-based cleaners (alcohol is often included in glass cleaners), or any abrasives.
Use only antistatic cleaning agents that prevent static discharge. We recommend using our Ultra-Gloss Superpolish (supplied in a set with a sponge and microfiber cloth) to maintain the surface. Before polishing, wash the surface with a soap solution and cotton cloth and dry it thoroughly. Then apply just a small amount of our cleaner with a sponge (or cotton cloth) evenly over the entire surface. Let it react. After 20 minutes, polish the surface in a circular motion - using a clean cotton cloth.
Immediately after use, wash the used fabrics and the sponge in hot water, as they could cause scratching of the surface when used again.
Removal of the protective foil on acrylic doors.
The surface of the door is particularly sensitive for some time after the removal of the protective foil. This is because the acrylate surface itself is hygroscopic (it can absorb moisture). Absorption of air humidity is necessary to achieve the final hardness of acrylate. This curing can take one week, so perform the first cleaning after the curing time has elapsed.
Remove dirt with warm soapy diluted water or a soft dampened sponge. Do not use any abrasive sponges! After cleaning, wipe the surface with clean water and dry with a dry cloth. used cleaners should not contain flame retardants, strong alkalis, polymer dispersion preservatives and wax. Pastes and wood care products are also unsuitable and can cause scratches. The cleaning time should be as short as possible without using excessive force, there is a risk of increasing the gloss level, especially in exposed areas. Avoid the use of concentrated alcohol, methyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol.
Use a soft cloth to clean the surface of the lacquered door. Wash the door with a neutral cleaner (cleaning agent diluted with water or soap solution). Do not use powder cleaners (it may damage the lacquer), products containing alcohol or acids (vinegar) and aggressive corrosives. When cleaning, do not apply high pressure to avoid damaging the varnish. Please note that sunlight may affect the colour of kitchen doors.
Clean with a microfiber cloth and soap water. It is not recommended to use a dishwashing sponge, cleaning cloths, tea towels or dusters for maintenance. If you need to remove larger dirt spots, carefully wipe the surface with a microfiber cloth dampened with soapy water or a small amount of detergent with a neutral PH. Then wipe the area with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents containing solvents (alcohol)!
Clean with a soft microfiber cloth. When cleaning matt surfaces, wipe the surface without putting too much pressure on the microfiber cloth (high pressure can cause irreversible polishing of furniture surfaces). Do not use products containing abrasives (substances capable of scratching the surface of furniture, substances with an abrasive effect). The cleaning cloths need to be kept clean. Do not use materials that could cause deterioration (dish sponge, cleaning cloths).
Use cleaners for solid wood. Use a soft cloth or high-density sponge to clean. The rectilinear movements must follow the direction of the wood fibres.
Basic cleaning
Basic cleaning is usually performed by routine application of hot aqueous cleaning solutions. Suitable cleaning substances are conventional cleaning agents and also universal fat-dissolving cleaning agents. Let thicker or dry dirt soften first. Afterwards, the damp surface is wiped with hot clean water until all detergent residues are removed. It is then wiped dry with a piece of cloth that leaves no thread, preferably "in the direction of the decor" or evenly in one direction, not to cause smudges. Never use detergents, wipes, or sponges that contain abrasive scrubbing parts. These include liquid abrasive cleaners, polishes, and sponges (e.g., Scotch Britt and others). Scrubbing and scrubbing cleaners can irreversibly damage the delicate surface of the material. "Balm" cleaners are also not suitable for cleaning. The skin-safe substances in these compositions form a coating on the melanin resin surface, which is very difficult to remove. Alcohol-based cleaners (e.g., glass cleaners) or plastic cleaners are also not recommended. The surface should only be exposed to contact with aggressive cleaning agents or descalers, if they must be used, for a very short time. Any drops must be cleaned immediately. Prolonged exposure to these cleaning agents can cause microcracks or embrittlement of the surface, resulting in stains or "maps" that cannot be removed. In our experience, the surfaces will remain completely clean if these instructions are followed.
Thorough cleaning
If residues remain on the surface after this cleaning, it is recommended to proceed with intensive cleaning of the affected areas, while the relevant instructions for use must be observed. For this intensive cleaning, common grease-dissolving cleaners should be used, suitable for plastic surfaces, e.g., Sidol or Mellerud kitchen cleaners (available in drugstores, building material shops). The cleaning method must comply with the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging: it is usually a matter of applying the cleaning agent, letting it react, and the subsequent basic cleaning according to the above instructions. Before the first use, it is recommended to test the product on a hidden part of the object. In the case of long-term impurities due to their layering or in the case of poorly soluble sediments, the procedure must be repeated several times.
Special cleaning
To remove particular contaminants such as limescale, paraffin, candle residues, silicone, paints, varnishes, and adhesives, we recommend following the instructions in the technical sheet "Cleaning of HPL surfaces," which can be found at www.pro-HPL.org. We do not accept any liability for damage caused by the user.

Do not expose the foil door to temperatures higher than 75 ° C (do not leave in proximity to appliances that do not have adequate ventilation).
Furniture parts with a high-gloss foil are provided with a PE-protective foil to defend them from damage during production and consequent assembly. To avoid damage, do not remove the protective film until all installation work has been completed. After removing the protective film, the surface is particularly sensitive to scratches, as it has not yet been fully cured. Therefore, please wait 24 hours until the first cleaning. You can remove dirt with a warm, heavily diluted soap solution, using a soft cloth or sponge. Common diluted household cleaners, which are recommended for artificial surfaces, are suitable. Remove residual cleaning solution with clean water and wipe dry with a cloth. Microfiber cloths are unsuitable because they permanently matte the surface due to their abrasive fibres.

Removal of the protective foil on extra matt foil doors
The foil is coated with a transparent protective foil, protecting the surface from scratches during the production, transport and installation of furniture parts. The protective film must be removed after assembling the furniture. The protective film is a polyolefin-based material that can be disposed of with residential waste. The surface of the furniture is particularly sensitive to scratches immediately after removing the protective foil. After removing the protective film, the surface must be cleaned immediately and lightly polished with a mild soap (soap max. 1 %), and a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol-based cleaners or abrasives.
