Tenjam

Tenjam specializes in seamless soft seating. Their lines of soft seating features non-porous and waterproof flexible thermoplastic finish with a flexible foam core. The DuraFLEX series have no hidden pockets or stitched seams where bacteria could hide and multiply. Tenjam recommends Dawn Dishwashing Liquid Soap as the most effective cleaning agent for the DuraFLEX surface and is the preferred cleaner. However, they provide a full list of cleaners that can be used on their seating in addition to their preferred cleaner.

MityLite's ABS tables are designed to be easily cleaned with warm and soapy water. For tougher stains, “409” or “Fantastik” cleaner can be used. It's recommended to remove stains immediately to prevent permanent staining.

Folding Chairs

Mity-Lite Mesh-One folding chairs can be sanitized using a mild household detergent or soap and water. Petroleum distillates should be avoided to maintain structural integrity. Healthcare customers are recommended to use a 10% dilution of bleach and 90% water to sterilize the mesh seat and backrest. It's important to avoid soaking the frame and squeezing water into the openings.

Marco Group

Marco Group manufactures classroom desks, student stack chairs, activity tables and more. With so many options, it's essential to know how to properly care for each piece of furniture. Laminate and melamine surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and soap mixture and dried with a soft cloth.

Whiteboards and Erasable Surfaces

After a long period of use, a film or haze may develop on the surface of the whiteboard. This is the result of the ink residue that might not be completely removed when the board is erased. Whiteboards can be given a thorough cleaning with a spray-on glass cleaner. Simply spray the surface and briskly rub with a clean microfiber cloth. Rinse with clear water. For removing accidental permanent marks, draw over the markings with a high-quality dry erase marker. Wait 5 seconds for the marker to completely dry, then wipe both marks away with a lint free cloth or microfiber.

Beeline Upholstery
