A mild liquid detergentand warm water clean soiled surfaces.Remove spilled plaster with a wood or plastic edge. Metal tools scratch the surface. Spots left by plaster or groutcan be removed if lightly rubbed with detergent on a damp cloth or sponge.Paint, tar, or other difficult stains can be removed with paint thinner, turpentine, or isopropyl alcohol (rubbingalcohol).Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color finish can be removed by lightly sanding with 600-grit wet/drysandpaper. You can restore the glossy finish to the acrylic surface of the base with a special compound, Meguiar’s#10 Mirror Glaze. If not available, use automotive rubbing compound followed by an application of automotive pastewax.Major scratches and gouges which penetrate the acrylic surface require refinishing.
