Care and Maintenance of Senox Painted Aluminum Coil Products

The following simple cleaning procedures should be performed at least once a year or more if necessary:

General Cleaning
For surface and soil stains such as those resulting from industrial fallout, tree sap, insecticides, or chimney fumes, use ordinary non-abrasive household detergent.

The sulution should be applied to the soiled surface by means of a soft rag, sponge or soft bristle brush with a gentl rubbing action. Do not rub vigorously so as to create glssy areas over the stin finish. Soft bristle brushes equipped with long extension handles may be used to reash some of the higher areas.

As with any cleaning operation, less streaking will result if the house is washed from bottom to top. It is important that immediately following all washing operations, the entire surface be thoroughly rinsed with fresh water from a garden hose.

Stubborn Stains
If stubborn stains are encountered, use a heavy duty cleaner such as "Fantastik". Heavy soil deposits may not be removable in one application and may require repeated cleaning over some length of time. Do not use cleaners containing abrasive particles, ammonia, solvents or paint removers for cleaning. These materials may soften or remove the finish on the products.

Climatic Problems
Climates vary considerably from one locality to the next. In some areas, mildew may be a problem. It appears as black spots on the surface dirt and is usually first detected in areas protected from rainfall such as under eaves and porches. For removal, prepare a solution as follows and apply as outlined above.

1/3 cup of Detergent (Tide for example)
2/3 cup of Trisodium Phospphate (Soilex for example)
1 quart 5% Sodium Hypochlorite Solution (Clorox for example)
3 quarts of Water

Caution: greater concentrations may cause damage to the finish.

Removal of Debris
As a rule, gutters and downspouts should have debris removed after leaves have fallen from trees in the Fall and after new growth has come out in the Spring or any other time debris builds up in gutters.
