We recommend that frequently touched surfaces should be cleaned on a regular basis with a solution that contains at least 70% alcohol.
Kiosk screens should be cleaned with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Abrasive materials, such as paper towels or rags, should be avoided as they can spread lint or damage the screen’s surface.
Kiosk Cleaning Do’s:
- Use a microfiber cleaning cloth or towel to clean the enclosure
- Spray cleaner directly on the cloth or towel, and then wipe the kiosk surface to be cleaned
- Clean the kiosk exterior with a cloth or towel that is damp but not wet enough to leak into the electronics
- On standalone kiosks, unload the paper, blow out the printer with compressed air, and remove any scraps of paper or dust.
Kiosk Cleaning Don’ts:
- Don’t spray cleaners directly on equipment
- Don’t use abrasive powder cleaners or abrasive cleaning materials (brushes, scouring pads, etc.)
- Never soak electronics with cleaning liquids
