• When cleaning any of displays for the first time, always test the products on a small area of the display to ensure there is no unintended side effect that damage or mark it.
• The best way to keep dust and other unwanted particles off a display is with anti-static, non-abrasive, lint-free, microfiber clothes. Microfiber clothes are so soft that they don’t leave scratches or blemishes on surface, which would harm the overall display. Using towels or washcloths to wipe down a display is not recommended as it will build-up many micro scratches on surface of its frame and cover over time. Since acrylic scratches much more easily than glass, microfiber cloth is the only material that can be recommended to clean acrylic displays as well.
• If you want to use water, don’t put water directly on the display, but rather add a little bit of water just on the microfiber cloth, so that you prevent getting excessive amount of water on the display itself. If you want to rinse the microfiber cloth with water, make sure that you wring it out thoroughly and avoid excessive dampness before applying on the display. Once you apply the damp cloth on it and be satisfied that it is clean, apply a dry microfiber cloth and wipe off any watermarks.
• For cleaning more oily stains or fingerprints on a display, instead of using “heavy” or “abrasive” cleaners, you can add warm, soapy water or gentle shampooed water on microfiber cloth or rinse the cloth. After you rinse the cloth with warm, soapy or shampooed water, make sure again that you wring it out thoroughly and avoid excessive dampness before applying on the display. Once you apply the damp cloth on it and be satisfied that the frame is clean, apply a dry microfiber cloth and wipe off any watermarks.
• Never use vinegar to clean acrylic displays. While vinegar is a more natural cleaning medium that can safely be used on traditional glass, it’s far too acidic for acrylic surfaces and will damage them.
• Make sure you read the ingredients on cleaners, if you prefer to use them to clean a display. As Ammonia destroys plastic, causing discoloration, avoid using cleaners containing Ammonia. Avoid using alcohol-based cleaners as well. You can use a professional cleaning kit that both cleans and leaves a polished shine that resists fogging, repels dust, and eliminates static.

Before disinfecting or sanitizing a display, it’s important to utilize a cleaning method to remove any visible dirt or grease on it. Harmful bacteria or viruses might be hiding underneath that layer and be shielded from your disinfectant. Sanitizing and disinfecting products are chemicals that work by killing germs. In most cases, a cleaning product is used first. Then the surface is either sanitized or disinfected. If the surface appears to be clean, simply using the sanitizer or disinfectant should be sufficient. You can apply the disinfectant by fogging, spraying or wiping it with a clean micro-fiber cloth. The EPA has created an online resource that will provide the information necessary to determine if the cleaner/disinfectant or sanitizer being used is effective and will give you guidelines on how long the product needs to be in contact with the display to safely eliminate pathogens. You can also prefer applying disinfectant or sanitizer that is in compliance with your own local guidelines and regulations.
