Laminates (HPL & LPL)
For general day to day cleaning, use warm soapy water or non-abrasive household cleaners such as glass cleaner, Fantastik®, Formula 409® or commercially available solid surface cleaners.
Then rinse and towel dry the surface to prevent spotting especially in areas with hard water.
Use cleaning and disinfectant agents in accordance with manufacturer’s directions for proper application and use. For frequent use of these products, it is recommended to rinse with warm soap and water to remove residue. If not properly removed, residue can shorten the lifespan of the finish material.
Paint (Accent,
Mica & Foundation)
Wash with warm water and soap often works or any mild household cleaners such as Windex, Formula 409, or Mr. Clean glass and surface cleaners as these are the cleaners tested by many MOF manufacturers. That being said, any recommendations the customer makes to their end users should be verified on product off their line because our recommendations are made based on powder cured and tested in a laboratory. Variations in production and end use settings could have some variation to coating cure and cleaner application.
Wood (Flintwood,
Natural Veneers)
All wood finishes are susceptible to scratches from rough and abrasive objects.
Teknion Wood’s finish is best cleaned by wiping the surfaces with a damp cloth, followed by a soft dry cloth in the direction of the grain. If the surfaces are really dirty, add a mild soap solution to the water, clean the surface and then wipe down again using a damp cloth to remove any soap residue, followed by a dry cloth to absorb any moisture left on the surface.

Glass Elements
Wipe glass elements with a mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. Use a clean soft cloth, applying only light pressure. Rinse with clean water and dry by blotting with a damp cloth or chamois. Do Not Use window cleaning sprays, kitchen scouring compounds or solvents such as acetone, gasoline, benzene, carbon tetrachloride or lacquer thinner on glass elements.
Back painted Glass
Gently clean, do not scrub, with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth and soap and water solution. Do not use paper towels; their fibers can adhere to the finished surface. Do not use window cleaning sprays, kitchen scouring compounds or solvents such as acetone, gasoline, benzene, carbon tetrachloride or lacquer thinner on back-painted glass.
Altos/Optos Glass
Use a wash solution that includes a mild soap and detergent, or a slightly acidic cleaning solution (vinegar and water). A product like Windex can also be used. Do not use harsh cleaners, abrasives or alkaline materials. Use clean, grit-free cloths, together with the wash solution, to clean the glass. Care must be taken to ensure that gritty dirt particles picked up by the cloth do not scratch the glass. Do not use metal scrapers or tools to remove stubborn materials or stains. Immediately follow the washing with liberal amounts of clean rise water (for best results use distilled water). Promptly remove excess rinse water with a clean, good quality squeegee. Debris must be removed from the squeegee to prevent possible glass damage
Etched Glass
Gently clean - do not scrub - with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth and 4: 1 mixture of water and vinegar. DO NOT USE AMMONIA-BASED CLEANERS! Do not use paper towels; their fibers adhere to the etched surface and they will affect the protective quality of the Etch Sealer. Harsh scrubbing and/or abrasive cleaners may damage the protective sealer.
Textiles
Many fabrics can be cleaned with soap and water if “W” is listed as a cleaning code. See links below for instructions given by Health Canada and the CDC.
