To clean, use water and a mild neutral ph soap applied with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or heavy-duty detergents, such as: Ajax or Comet or any citrus-based product. These are extremely aggressive and will rapidly remove the wax and could scratch the surface. Any cleaning with soap will remove the wax to some degree, therefore, periodic wax application is recommended. Water spotting is the easiest way to detect when was application is needed.
