I want to make sure I answer this adequately, so I have two different answers. First will be general care once applied and the other will be removal.

So to start, soap and water or a mild cleaner/detergent will definitely keep the LaSalle Bristol XTRM 100 Self-Leveling Sealant # 34427034143-1 in good condition once applied and let to dry. I would avoid any cleaners or soaps that have dye in them as these can stain things over time. Some of the chemicals in these can also cause the sealant to lift off the surface if the area is soaked and then not immediately cleaned, so use a small amount, do a quick and thorough cleaning, and then dry the area as good as you can. This will keep everything sealed and looking good.

With that being said, if you are referring to cleaning up the area while trying to remove the sealant or if some got where you didn't want it to get, I recommend using acetone, with gloves of course. Again, you should not be soaking the area as this can discolor the area, but a small amount used on a fairly rough cloth will remove any spills or mishaps. I do not recommend using this if it gets on your skin, but a good soap will do the job if this happens.
