Solid Core Phenolic Cleaning Best Practices

The methods used to clean bathroom partitions differ based on the type of soil found on their surface. It is important to use the recommended method to get the best possible results.

• First, remove smudges, fingerprints, or other residues found on the solid phenolic bathroom stall’s surface with a mild cleaning solution. Clean smooth surfaces can with a cloth or sponge — clean textured surfaces with a soft brush. Always rinse thoroughly, and make sure to dry the surface completely.
• Second, remove more difficult stains such as oil, crayon, lipstick, or greased soil with a general purpose cleaner. Or use a mild degreaser. Dampen either a cloth, sponge, or a soft-bristled brush with the corresponding cleaner and apply it to the affected area. Rinse completely and dry thoroughly.
• Third, for tough soiling, like water damage and other stubborn stains, you will need a more powerful cleaner. A mild detergent or general purpose cleaner do the trick! A bathroom cleaner containing acetic acid is an excellent choice for the removal of these kinds of stains. Wet a cloth, sponge, or soft bristled brush with the desired cleaner, and gently clean the affected area. As always, make sure to rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Unfortunately, vandals often choose to target bathroom stalls with graffiti. You can use ordinary cleaners or detergents on solid phenolic bathroom partition surfaces affected by graffiti. Instead, treat them with a graffiti remover. Spray or wipe the remover onto the surface with a cloth or sponge, and make sure to rinse and dry thoroughly.
