TRESPA ATHLON for Laboratories
General Cleaning

CAUTION
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully when using any cleaning agent or disinfectant.

Using a combination of products may cause unwanted chemical reactions which produce harmful gases.

When surfaces have been cleaned with aggressive cleaning agents, they should be rinsed well to dilute the cleaning agent and prevent it from drying on the panel surface.

CLEANING STERILE AREAS
The decorative surface and core of Trespa Athlon are highly resistant to most commonly-used disinfectants such as:

		Alcohol, preferably 60-70% solution in water
		Aldehydes, although not in, or in combination with quartenair ammonia compounds.
		Chlorine separating compounds. However, long term use of these products can cause certain pigments to fade.
		Phenols, not to be used for kitchen disinfection.
		Peroxide compounds (hydrogen peroxide and organic peracids)
		Quartenair ammonia compounds.

Some manufacturers offer products containing both cleaning and disinfecting components. These are know as detergent sanitisers, and are intended for simultaneous cleaning and disinfection of light to medium soiled surfaces in rooms where there is no great risk of infection.
