TRESPA ATHLON for Washrooms, Changing Rooms, Wet Areas & Swimming Pools

CLEANING - General
The recommended method for everyday cleaning of Trespa Athlon panels is warm water with a mild universal cleaning agent applied with a sponge or soft nylon brush. This is the ideal way to remove most light, recent soiling. Dry damp surfaces with an absorbent cloth.

Use of strongly acidic, caustic or abrasive cleaning agents is not recommended.

Removing persistant soiling
Heavier, stubborn stains, such as felt pen, lipstick, shoe polish, water-soluble paint, nicotine and urine, should be lathered with a solution of hot water and a universal detergent, or soap-based cleaning agent and, depending on the degree of dirt, left to soak. Then rinse with clean water and dry with an absorbent cloth.

Alternatively, the panels can be steam cleaned.

Occasionally, it may be necessary to remove old stains or very stubborn marks with a liquid cleaner containing very fine polishing particles or with bleach. (Beware: this may damage the surface) Wash the surface down thoroughly afterwards with clean water and dry with an absorbent cloth.

Removing specific types of stains

		Limescale can be removed with acidic cleaning agents containing approximately 10% acetic acid or citric acid. The manufacturer's instructions must be strictly followed. Rinse surfaces and edges very thoroughly!
		Paint, vanish, ink, shoe polish, lipstick, tar and other soluble but strong stains can be removed with organic solvents such as acetone, white spirit, turpentine or petroleum.
		Rub silicone off dry or use a silicone remover.

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.
