• Clean the stain with water and a paper towel or cloth, and remove as much residue as possible.
• Moisten a cloth and apply a mild cleaning solution - avoid anything with a strong acid base. If you're using the Krion® cleaning kit, take the green cloth and apply the special K-CLEANER cleaner to the stain.
• Rub in a circular motion, and then dry the surface. 

If the stain persists, repeat with the cleaning solution or K-CREAM,using enough to cover half the stain.

• Moisten the green cloth and rub the surface in a circular motion without applying any pressure.
• When the stain has vanished, clean the whole Krion® LUX surface with K-CREAM from the cleaning kit to give it a clean, uniform finish.
• Remove any excess cream with the green cloth and rinse with water.

Finally, it's important to dry the surface well to finish off the cleaning process. Use the grey drying cloth from the Cleaning KIT to do this.
