Cleaning and Maintenance of MULTILAB® laboratory benches

MULTILAB® laboratory benches are virtually indestructible.
Resco NZ Ltd provides a 10 year guarantee on panel integrity. 

In order to protect the integrity of the original chemical resistant top-layer, it is important to adhere to the following:

Never use any of the following on MULTILAB® laboratory benches

• Abrasive cleaners such as Jif Cream Cleanser, Ajax (powder or liquid), Chemco, Brasso, Mr. Muscle oven cleaner, Scrub free
• Neat Janola or other equivalent brands of bleaches
• Scourer pads, Wire wool or Sandpaper

Never exceed the concentration of allowable chemicals on MULTILAB® laboratory benches.

The day to day house-keeping regime should include wiping the benches after use, or after a shift has finished.

If any marking has occurred, apply in first instance the following:

• Use clean hot water, clean cloths or towels, soft sponge or brush (i.e. nylon brush).
• Use a non-abrasive cleaning agent, washing powder (heavy duty detergent), liquid soap or hard soap.
• Remove the dirt with a solution of cleaning agent or let it soak depending on the degree of soiling, then wash off with clean water or glass cleaner. Wipe repeatedly if necessary.

Depending on the type of marking, either of the following method may be applied:

• Organic solvents e.g. Acetone spirits, petrol, trichloroethylene, MEK, to be followed by washing down with soapy water and finishing with clean water or glass cleaner. Wipe repeatedly if necessary.
• Removal by an acidic cleaning agent (e.g. 10% acetic or citric acid). Again, to be followed by washing down with soapy water and finishing with clean water or glass cleaner. Wipe repeatedly if necessary.
