        If you are talking about plastic cover then use colgate toothpaste and then clean with any washing powder.

            I'm a fan of Fast505. Any marks remaining after the Fast505 come off with paraffin lamp oil.

            If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
            1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
            2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
            3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
            4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
            5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

              you mean the plastic covers on the unit?

              what are you using now?
              general purpose cleaner/detergent, yes the cover with logo on it, and the rest of the covers.

              If you are talking about plastic cover then use colgate toothpaste and then clean with any washing powder.
              I will try this, thanks.

              I've tried this, but the texture on the surface becomes uneven. Spot cleaning is preffered.

              Does it eat plastic?

                For GENERAL cleaning, 409, Green Magic... pretty much any "All Purpose Cleaner" will do the job.

                For stubborn scuff marks/shoe prints etc. the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works wonders.

                ...and for that REALLY stubborn mark that nothing else seems to touch, I spray a little Rubber Rejuvenator on a shop towel and that usually takes care of it. I always spray it with 409 afterwards just to clean off any of the oily residue left behind.

                Ammonia-Free glass cleaner ALWAYS!! The coating on modern copier glass can get damaged by ammonia based cleaners.
