Caring for your trophy
The clear acrylic nameplates can be damaged by harsh solvents and cleaners. Use a commercial plastic cleaner or mild soap and water and non-abrasive lint-free or microfiber cloth that won't scratch the surface. Don’t use household cleaners, such as Windex, 409, ammonia, or Fantastik, as they may break down the material and make it look cloudy.
​
The natural wood bases can be dusted with a microfibre cloth.
