Techlite Foam Cleaning Guide for Acoustic Solutions

Routine Cleaning Procedure


Option 1:     

A hand holding an air blow gun tool with a metal nozzle, used for cleaning and dust removal on surfaces.

(Most Preferred) Attach blower nozzle to an air hose and apply evenly-dispersed compressed air over foam, focusing on affected areas. Depending on PSI, keep blower nozzle a minimum of 3-4 inches away from foam. Use best judgment so as not to penetrate the foam. 

 

Option 2:     

A hand-held vacuum cleaner with a transparent dust container and a narrow nozzle attachment for cleaning.

Vacuum the melamine foam treatment. Use a shop vac or vacuum with wand attachment. Little handheld vacuums are suitable too. Hover vacuum over the melamine foam close enough to suck up dust and debris off of the foam but not too close to suck portions of the foam into the vacuum.

 

Option 3:     

A folded blue microfiber cloth on a wet surface with water droplets, ready for cleaning and wiping tasks.

Gently wipe the melamine foam acoustical treatment with a very damp, clean cloth but do not soak the treatment. Running a very damp, clean cloth over the melamine foam will help remove light dust and debris without oversaturating the foam.

 

Stain Removal Procedure

WARNING: Do not use Isopropyl Alcohol on printed Acoustic Panels. 

A brown glass bottle labeled "Isopropyl Alcohol" with other similar bottles in the background on a white surface.

For light stains, first try using compressed air at the affected areas (see Option 1 above).

For heavier stains, use light application of isopropyl alcohol. Apply alcohol to dry cloth and gently rub acoustical treatment. Next, lightly dampen the same cloth with warm water and rub the same affected areas on acoustical treatment to help remove the smell of the alcohol. The foam is fine to air dry, or, use compressed air to quicken the drying process.
