Cleaning:A sponge,
soap and water will clean most stains. For more
stubborn stains use a green Scotch Brite pad and
an abrasive cleanser. Periodically go over the
entire matte surface with a dry green Scotch Brite
pad to return the original finish. |
Scratches:To
remove scratches, start sanding with 240 grit
paper and then clean with an abrasive cleanser
and a green Scotch Brite pad. |
Avonite Sinks:Use
the Matte Finish cleaning and scratch removal
procedures above. To keep sink color bright, clean
occasionally with liquid bleach and water. Fill
the sink 1/4 full with water, add 1 to 2 cups
of bleach, wipe the sides of the sink and let
stand for 15 minutes. Then drain the sink and
rinse. |
