How to Clean Acrylic

Everyday Cleaning

The first step in cleaning acrylic is to remove dust, dirt, and debris stuck to the surface. Don’t scratch the surface by wiping it dry first. You can do this by rinsing the plastic sheet or plastic product with mild soap and lukewarm water. If that’s not available, then use a premium lint-free microfiber with soap and water. Gently blot the plastic surface and avoid applying too much pressure. You can then flip over the microfiber cloth and gently wipe it dry. 

Cleaning Products to Avoid!

Not all glass cleaning products are safe to use. Avoid these products, as they can damage your acrylic display and render it useless.

- Do Not Use paper towels because they’re abrasive and will leave the surface with lint and scuffs
- Do Not Use ammonia based products like Windex or glass cleaners. Glass cleaners contain harmful chemicals that can damage the plastic or cause small fractures at the edges and drilled-hole area. It will also leave a cloudy look on the acrylic sheet. Always use mild soap and water.
