Cleaning

Lexaire is easily kept clean retaining its attractive appearance. Normal soiling can generally be removed with a damp soapy cloth. More obstinate dirt should be washed with warm soapy water and gently scrubbed with a soft brush. Then rinse with clean cold water and dry with a cloth. Always use either soap flakes or mild soap. DO NOT USE detergents, chemical cleaners, solvents, bleaches, abrasives, wax polishes and aerosol sprays etc. as these may harm the coating and surface of the material.

Resistance to stains and spills

Lexaire is resistant to many mild acids, alkalis, drinks and common household stains, which should be wiped off and cleaned as soon as possible. Some substances are very powerful staining agents for all vinyls – lipsticks, ballpoint pen ink, food colourings etc – and may cause permanent staining. This can be minimised by immediate cleaning as instructed above.

Availability

Lexaire is available in rolls of approx. 25 metres, 137cm, 54” wide.
