Preserving Perfection: The Ultimate Guide to Cleaning and Maintaining Your Acrylic Trophy

Welcome to Meru Trophy. An acrylic trophy, with its inherent elegance and clarity, captures a moment perfectly. Unlike traditional metal or glass awards, acrylic requires a specific maintenance approach to preserve its pristine condition. This guide outlines the best practices for cleaning, maintenance, and display.

The Ultimate Cleaning Guide

Proper cleaning of an acrylic trophy involves gentle handling and avoiding abrasive contact.

Step 1: The Dusting Routine

• Use a Microfiber Cloth: The single most effective tool for cleaning acrylic is a high-quality, non-abrasive microfiber cloth.
• Avoid Paper Towels: Paper products are made of wood fibers that are abrasive to acrylic and will create fine scratches.

Step 2: Removing Fingerprints

Mix a small amount of mild, non-abrasive dish soap with lukewarm water. Gently wipe the surface in straight, non-circular motions using a microfiber cloth.

Step 3: What to AVOID

Never use ammonia-based cleaners (e.g., Windex). Ammonia causes acrylic to cloud and become brittle. Avoid solvents like acetone and alcohol, which can chemically alter the plastic.
