Never use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt. Don’t mix different cleaning products - they may react together with hazardous results. Recommended cleaning materials are shown in the table at the end of this section.
