CARE AND MAINTENANCE 1. Before each use, check the portable partition for worn, loose, missing, unstable, or damaged parts. If you find

any of these conditions, do not use. 2. Store the partition in a cool, dry place when not in use. 3. If disassembling panel frame, roll vinyl panel for storage; do not fold. 4. Due to the clear vinyl’s pliable nature, it can easily be scratched and care needs to be exercised when working

with the material. 5. For cleaning clear vinyl, use a mild vinyl cleaner, following cleaner’s instructions.

a. Alternately, a solution of mild neutral soap mixed with lukewarm water can be applied using a soft cotton or microfiber cloth. Thoroughly rinse the soapy solution with fresh, lukewarm water and dry using a microfiber cloth or air dry.

Do not use harsh detergents. Do no rub clear vinyl when dry as this will scratch and dull the surface.
