SUMMARY
Acetone stains Plexiglass due to its chemical composition, which interacts negatively with the acrylic material. Unlike traditional cleaning agents, acetone acts as a solvent that can dissolve the surface of Plexiglass, leading to discoloration and damage. The discussion emphasizes the importance of using appropriate cleaning agents specifically designed for acrylic surfaces to avoid such adverse effects.
