Surface & Mat
Cleaner Application Instructions
Directions
Made in the
United States of America
Smooth Surfaces:
Apply Charge-Guard
®
Surface & Mat Cleaner to the
entire surface to be treated using either the pump or
trigger spray bottle. Use a lint-free cloth to wipe the
surface until dry. For set stains, let Charge-Guard
®
Surface & Mat Cleaner soak on the surface for 30
seconds before wiping clean.

Charge-Guard
®
Surface & Mat Cleaner is a non-toxic
liquid cleaner used to remove dust, grease, grime,
fingerprints, and solder flux from all surfaces used in
a static sensitive area. Charge-Guard
®
Surface & Mat
Cleaner leaves no insulative residue, contains no alkali
or ammonia, and is nonflammable.
Charge-Guard
®
Surface & Mat Cleaner is a liquid
cleaner which can be used on a variety of surfaces,
especially surfaces used in a static sensitive
environment. Surfaces include but are not limited to:
rubber, vinyl and polyethylene table and floor mats,
field service kits, laminated table tops, tote boxes,
epoxy, painted surfaces, plexiglass, glass, metal,
3-ring binders, computer screens, computer keyboards,
shelving, push carts, conveyor belts, etc.
Note: Cleaners with silicone leave an insulative residue
on surfaces and solvents such as 2-Butoxyethanol
or Ethanolamine used in cleaners can dry out the
material; both can prevent conductive or dissipative
mats from functioning properly.
“Periodic cleaning, following the manufacturer’s
recommendations, is required to maintain proper
electrical function on all work surfaces. Ensure that
cleaners that are used do not leave an electrically
insulative residue common with some household
cleaners that contain silicone.” (ESD Handbook ESD
TR20.20 section 5.3.1.14 Worksurface Maintenance)
“Only cleaning materials or processes which do not
degrade the properties of the ESD protective items, shall
be used.”
(EN 61340-5-1 clause 5.5 EPA working practices)

Description
Figure 2. Applying Charge-Guard

to the mat.
Other Surfaces - Keyboards:
Dampen a lint-free cloth or a lint-free swab with
Charge-Guard
®
Surface & Mat Cleaner. Wipe surface
to be cleaned using either the cloth or swab. The swab
will work best for tight spots like between keyboard
keys. Use the cloth to wipe clean the remaining
surfaces of the keyboard.
General Guidelines
Figure 3. Cleaning a keyboard or computer screen with
Charge-Guard
®
Surface & Mat Cleaner.
On non-ESD surfaces, we recommend using SCS
Antistat static dissipative spray. While coating is on
the surface it will enhance existing ESD surfaces and
will give dissipative electrical properties to insulative
surfaces.
