HDPE resists any food residue from sticking to it, however the longer these particles bake in the sun, the more difficult they are to remove.
- Daily maintenance for commercial use is warm soap & water with sponge.
- Stubborn food residue (fruits, berries and grease) may be removed with a citrus cleaner via spray bottle application- let stand to help dissolve residue and then sponge clean.
- For added luster- once surface is clean, Armor All (a water-based silicone) may be applied lightly with a terry cloth towel, however in commercial food service application, surface must be completely dry for several hours. Please click to see Armor All MSDS sheet.
- It is NOT recommended to use any abrasive cleaners, or abrasive sponges, this will dull and scratch the surface.
- Periodically a deep cleaning method for keeping original luster is to buff the tops with a soft pad car buffer, using a non-abrasive compound.
Our material is a solid material using no surface coatings. Vandalized surfaces may be partially restored by using a small handheld propane torch and feather the flame lightly over the surface to reduce deep scratches to a blemish. This procedure must only be performed by a maintenance professional; caution must be used to not melt the area being restored.
