Cleaning and Polishing Acrylic

The brilliance and quality of acrylic can really shine through when the piece has been cleaned after engraving. Knowing the proper cleaning techniques is very important. To clean ACRYLIC, use a mild soap and water solution. Wipe with a soft cloth.

1.      Never use paper towels to clean acrylic, the fibers in the paper towel act like fine sandpaper to make the surface cloudy.

2.      Do not use window cleaner or any other alcohol or ammonia-based cleaners, fast drying cleaners can craze the top surface with fine cracks and even shatter thin acrylic.

3.      When dusting or cleaning acrylic use a lint free soft cloth, preferably one that is designed for cleaning acrylic. Anti static cloths are available that zap the static generated in the cleaning process and reduce the build up of dust after cleaning.

4.      By using an acrylic cleaner a bright and shiny finish will appear on the acrylic. These spray-on cleaners remove any smoke residue from engraving or cutting and leave a glossy surface that looks deep and lustrous.

5.      Special fine polishers are available to remove hairline scratches and abrasions that sometimes occur in handling the acrylic pieces during the engraving process. These special polishes work miracles on small areas but should be used carefully and according to the instructions for best results.
