About this file
This is a General Care and Maintenance document from Metpar, a manufacturer of toilet partitions and shower enclosures, providing product care instructions for three material types.
For POWDER SHIELD and Dur-A-Tex toilet partitions and showers with baked epoxy hybrid coatings, cleaning should be performed with warm water and mild soap, followed by rinsing and drying with a soft cloth. Automotive-type wax is recommended for maintenance. Prohibited cleaning agents include abrasive powders or pads, chlorine-based cleaners, water closet cleansers, ceramic tile cleansers, ammonia solutions exceeding 1% by volume, acid or lye solutions, and enzyme-based solutions. Metpar disclaims responsibility for product failure resulting from deviations from these guidelines.
For stainless steel toilet partitions and showers, routine cleaning uses soap, ammonia, detergent, and water applied with a sponge, followed by rinsing and drying. Multiple commercial cleaning products are approved for specific conditions: smears and fingerprints require products like Arcal 20 or Stainless Shine; stubborn spots and light discoloration can be treated with specialized cleaners such as Twinkle, Zud, or household cleansers like Comet; heat tint or heavy discoloration requires products such as Penny-Brite or Copper Brite; and tenacious deposits or industrial stains necessitate commercial-grade cleaners like Oakite or Turco Scale 4368. For plastic laminate and phenolic toilet partitions, hose cleaning is prohibited for laminate materials, with only solid core phenolic eligible for this method. Normal cleaning uses dampened cloths with mild soap or household cleaners like Pinesol; abrasive cleansers must be avoided. Indelible ink stains may be treated with full-strength Pinesol, household spray cleaners, or denatured alcohol. Harsh chemical products such as rust removers, metal cleaners, oven cleaners, and drain cleaners are strictly prohibited due to permanent damage risk. Metpar's contact information is provided: 460 T.

GENERAL CARE & MAINTENANCE
POWDER SHIELD and Dur-A-Tex™
TOILET PARTITIONS and SHOWERS
The finish of the material is a baked epoxy hybrid coating, similar to an automotive finish. To clean it, wash with warm water and mild soap, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. To maintain the high quality finish, we recommend waxing with an automotive type product.
Under no circumstances should any of the following be used;
Abrasive powders or pads, any cleaner containing chlorine or chlorine agents, water closet cleansers, ceramic tile cleansers, solutions containing more than 1% by volume of ammonia, solutions containing acids or lye, solutions containing enzymes.
Should there be any deviation from these guidelines Metpar will not accept responsibility for product failure.

GENERAL CARE & MAINTENANCE
PLASTIC LAMINATE & PHENOLIC TOILET PARTITIONS
DO NOT hose down plastic laminate material! Severe damage may result.
Only solid core phenolic may be hose cleaned.
For normal cleaning, wipe the surface with a dampened cloth or sponge using a mild soap or detergent. General purpose household cleansers such as Pinesol© are also effective. NOTE: Abrasive cleansers or powders should not be used. They can damage the laminate and make it susceptible to staining.
A periodic application of a cleaner wax will help minimize future staining.
Take care when using indelible inks such as a felt marking pen. To remove such stains, use full strength Pinesol© or a household spray cleaner and allow it to draw out the stain. Blot away with a damp cloth, then rinse. Solvents such as denatured alcohol may also be used. CAUTION: Most solvents are extremely flammable; keep away from flame or electrical sparks. Chlorine bleach may be used by dampening a cloth sparingly and blotting onto the stained area for no longer than a minute. Then wipe with warm water and dry.
BEWARE: A growing number of cleansers are formulated with harsh chemicals that can have a severe effect on laminates. Every precaution should be taken to protect your laminate surfaces from such chemicals commonly found in rust removers, metal and oven cleaners, drain and toilet bowl cleaners. Never put such cleaners on laminate surfaces. Spills from these acid or caustic-based products will etch, corrode and permanently discolor the laminate if allowed to remain on the surface. Inadvertent spills should be wiped off immediately and the area wiped with warm water.
Should there be any deviation from these guidelines, Metpar will not accept responsibility for product failure.
