How To Clean Acrylic Sheets Without Scratching
2025-09-08
Keeping your Acrylic Sheet looking crystal clear can be tricky. Many people accidentally scratch or haze their surfaces while cleaning. With years of experience in the industry, Pre-world is here to guide you through the safe and effective cleaning process.
What Do You Need for Safe Cleaning
Using the wrong tools is the most common mistake. Avoid paper towels, coarse cloths, or any glass cleaners containing ammonia, as they can chemically damage or physically scratch the surface. You only need a few simple supplies:
-
A clean, soft microfiber cloth or sponge
-
Lukewarm water
-
A mild soap solution (like dish soap)
What Is the Step-by-Step Cleaning Method
Follow these steps to ensure a scratch-free clean:
-
Rinse the Acrylic Sheet surface with lukewarm water to remove loose dust and debris.
-
Create a soapy solution with a few drops of mild soap in a bucket of water.
-
Gently wipe the surface in a circular motion using the soft microfiber cloth dampened with the soapy solution.
-
Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.
-
Gently blot the surface dry with a second clean, soft microfiber cloth to prevent water spots.
For stubborn stains, applying our specialized Pre-world plastic cleaner with a clean cloth can effectively remove them without causing damage.
