MityLite ABS tables are engineered to be virtually maintenance-free. However, spills can happen, dust can accumulate, and the tables will need to be sanitized occasionally. To help maintain and clean your tables, please follow these recommendations.
Cleaning and stain removal
- Always remove stains immediately.
- Allow warm, soapy water to sit on the table to loosen dirt. Gently scrub with a nylon brush to help remove dirt from the textured surface.
- Tougher stains can usually be removed by using “409” or “Fantastic” cleaner (but do not use cleaners with pine oil or lemon or citrus oils).
- Difficult stains may be removed with WD40 followed by soapy water.
- Or, if you prefer a chemical-free cleaning solution, a melamine sponge like Xtreme Sponge (www.xtremesponge.com) may work well to remove dirt or stains.
Avoid certain cleaners
Avoid using any cleaners that contain citrus oils, pine oils, or acidic ingredients. This includes citrus cleaners (such as Goo Gone®), bleach, paint thinner, concentrated detergents, acetone, MEK or other strong solvents. These products may remove the plasticizers from the plastic, causing the tabletop to become brittle or crack, and reduce the lifespan of the table. It might also void your warranty.
Miscellaneous care
Extreme temperatures: Use Meguiars Medium Duty Buffing Compound (available at any auto paint supply store) to buff out scuff marks. This should remove scuff marks and give the table a good shine. Avoid using too much as it may remove the finish.
These products can also be used, but they may not remove scuff marks as well. All are available at auto part stores.
- “Mothers California Gold” auto wax
- “Meguiars Gold Class” paste application
- “Turtle Wax Super Hard Shell” car wax
- “Turtle Wax Finish 2001”
- “Turtle Wax Extreme” paste application
Note: It may not be possible to remove scratches to the finish.
