Drum Shield Maintenance and Set Up Tips

How do you clean an acrylic drum shield? 

Here at ClearSonic, we get questions frequently about how to properly maintain our drum shields to extend the life of the shield. Read on for important drum shield maintenance tips:

1) Most importantly, use an Acrylic cleaner only. 

Cleaning Acrylic is different than cleaning glass.  DO NOT USE WINDEX OR ANY CLEANER THAT CONTAINS AMMONIA. 

Please note that regular ClearSonic Acrylic Panels are manufactured out of standard acrylic which has a softer surface than glass and therefore needs to be treated with extra care. Ammonia based cleaners like Windex and abrasive wipes like paper towels may scratch acrylic panels and result in 'fogging'. Because of this, we offer plastic-safe Sprayway Glass Cleaner.

Sprayway Glass Cleaner is safe on all plastics and glass and will not leave any film. 

2) Wear gloves when handling your drum shield. This reduces the need to clean the panels. We sell jersey gloves for this purpose.
