USE AND CARE
Formica Brand Chalk board surface is used to write on with chalk.
If required the cleaning can be done with water and a sponge as
it is common practice for school black boards. The surfaces are
protected with a removable lm. It is recommended to clean the
surface after having removed the protective lm or before using
the board for the rst time in order to remove possible residues
of the lm. For this thorough cleaning a conventional spirit
(ethyl alcohol) can be used. Never use detergents such as
washing-up liquids to clean the surface because they usually
contain fatty substances for the skin. A greasy lm can remain
on the surface making it extremely dicult to clean the surface.
For daily cleaning of chalk and chalk pens use plain water if dry
soft cloth or board eraser will not remove. For more stubborn
or longer sitting marks rubbing alcohol or plain acetone is
recommended.
Acid or alkaline-based and bleach containing cleaners, com-
pounds, etc., will mar, etch, corrode, and permanently
discolor the decorative surface of laminate. Never use these
materials on laminate, nor allow bottles, rags, etc., contaminated
with them to contact the surface. Accidental spills or splatters
from these harsh materials should be wiped o immediately,
and the area cleaned thoroughly with a damp cloth.
