of the components of the panels.
Cleaning products can damage the adhesives on the edges and corners.

Cleaning vinyl coverings having electrostatic properties.
Please find hereunder some advice for:
- Preserving electrostatic properties of your covering.
- Ensuring stability of bondings.
- Avoiding the penetration of water inside the woodcore panel
(when the panel is made of chipboard).
