Care and Maintenance
Autex Interior Acoustic products are extremely durable and require little
attention to maintain their good looks. Light vacuuming on a regular basis
will prevent dust build up, and most marks can be cleaned with a mild
detergent solution followed by rinsing and blotting. Stains should be dealt
with according to the chart below. Before carrying out a proposed cleaning
method, patch test on a concealed section to ensure it will not affect the
adhesive or product. Avoid severe abrasion. Spot clean only. Vacuum to restore
the pile, but do not use a stiff brush. Autex Interior Acoustic products are
designed with good health and hygiene in mind and can be disinfected to
prevent germs and pathogens. Autex recommends disinfecting product surfaces
using isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol) or ethanol diluted to 70 per cent with
water. Disinfectants containing quaternary ammonium compounds may also be
effective.
NB: Frontier™, Cascade™, Lattice™, and Horizon™ will need to be removed from
the ceiling or wall to clean safely. Disassembly instructions can be found in
individual product Install Instructions. We do not recommend using solvent-
based solutions on Autex Acoustic products.
Surface Protection From Germs And Viruses:
Sanitising of Autex Interior Acoustic products can be carried out with the
application of antimicrobial coatings such as
New Edition Everything Spray (or a similar Quaternary Ammonium-based product),
which will offer 30 days of protection from one application. Isopropanol
(isopropyl alcohol) or ethanol diluted to 70 per cent with water will also be
effective. Please ensure all Autex Interior Acoustic products are cleaned as
per the cleaning instructions before sanitising or disinfecting.
Everything Spray is available to purchase in New Zealand and Australia from www.greengroupcollective.co.nz To receive a 15% discount when purchasing Everything Spray, use code: AUTEX15
