Cleaning acoustic wall panelling

[Michelle Kennedy]

Hi All, it has come to our attention we are using a product called “Quietspace- Autex” in our MRI rooms. The purpose of the product is to minimise extreme noise levels in these areas. The fabric is polyester and recommended cleaning is using professional cleaners such as ChemDry. On questioning our technicians, no metal devices can be used in these rooms. Could you please advise me if this product is used in your MRI rooms, and method of cleaning used?

Thank you

Hi Michelle,

Here is the link to the cleaning instructions that are available on the
website –

http://www.autexacoustics.com/assets/Uploads/documents/IA-NA-IN-Wallcovering
s-Cleaning-Guide-JUL14-JR.pdf

And here is the link to the composition datasheet –

Datasheet-Mar15-CP-web.pdf

I have also attached the cleaning PDF for your convenience.

Many professional recording studios use similar acoustic treatments and I
would expect that these tiles/panels would be required to be cleaned often.

They are often secured to surfaces using Velcro tabs.

It should be fairly easy to remove these from the walls of your MRI room and
have them cleaned outside of the room if needed.

I would check the backing of the panels/tiles and see if they can be removed
– you should see a number of adhesive tabs on the walls behind the tiles.

Regards,

Tim..
