The ProdEX surface is a dirt repellent, but despite that, over time it may be necessary to clean the surface to bring back the boards' initial beauty and appearance.

Cleaning the ProdEX boards is the only maintenance process necessary. The formula patented by Prodema that covers the ProdEX boards' surface means it needs no other preventive wood treatment.

- The following general indications for periodic cleaning are recommended:

• Always use NON-ABRASIVE household detergents diluted in water.
• Never use abrasive cleaning powder or cream that could scratch the surface.
• Always rinse with plenty of clean water to prevent the appearance of marks.
• Use a soft, clean cloth or sponge that will not damage the surface. Do not use steel wool pads that can scratch the surface.

- Removing stains from the product:

Most stains can be easily removed with water and household detergents. However, when necessary, a universal solvent may be used but the surface should be gently rubbed with water and a NON-ABRASIVE household detergent immediately afterwards, and then rinsed with clean water. Do not use abrasive products or cleaning products with heavily alkaline and/or acid components. You are advised not to use nitrocellulose-based thinners as they may cause stripes to appear on the boards.
We recommend you always carry out a cleaning test on a small area of the material to verify that the procedure is effective, and only then should you go on to clean the rest of the surface in the same way.

- Some of the most common stains that may be produced on site can be cleaned in the following way:

• Cement stains: If the cement is still fresh, it can be easily removed with water. However, if the cement has started to set, you must wait for it to completely dry before removing it with a cloth. It is important NOT TO SCRATCH the surface, as this will damage the panel; dry stains come off easily without scrubbing. Rinse with plenty of water.
• Remains of glue or adhesive: These can be removed with a multi-use solvent or alcohol. In any case, you should always follow this process by cleaning with soap and water.
• Paint and primer: Check with the manufacturer. Always clean with soap and water at the end.
• Oil stains: Use warm water and a non-abrasive household detergent; there is no need for solvents.
• Scratches and dents: There is no repair method for scratched or dented panels.
Important Note: Always follow the appropriate health and safety rules when using solvents and chemical cleaning products.

- Cleaning graffiti:

ProdEX panels undergo a process that makes them resistant to graffiti. Nevertheless, specific products may be required to clean this type of paintwork. We recommend that you clean with soap and water after this process and rinse with plenty of clean water to remove any traces of the product. Panels with stubborn stains caused by remnants of glue, paint, lipstick, etc., can be cleaned with an organic solvent.
