Key notes for Cleaning of Alucobond® Panels:

• Panels should be cleaned on a regular basis. The timing of this cleaning is highly dependant on the location of the building and the amount of dirt and pollution in that area. A general rule is to clean the panels when the windows are cleaned.
• Megaflon™ paint finish panels must be rinsed immediately after washing. Failure to follow this procedure may cause damage to the gloss of the panel.
• Do not mechanically abrade a painted finish when trying to clean a panel. Do not use wire brushes, steel wool, sandpaper, rubbing compound, cleaning compound, abrasives or other similar cleaning tools.

Always test cleaning materials and procedures on a small inconspicuous area prior to use on a large scale.

Cleaning of Duranar‚ Paint finish Alucobond panels

A 5% solution (one part detergent to 20 parts of water) of commonly used commercial and industrial detergents, such as Tide®, will not have any deleterious effect on a Duranar surface. These solutions should be followed by an adequate rinse of water. Use cloth, sponges, or a soft bristle brush for application. Cleaning should be done on a shaded side of the building or, ideally, on a mild, cloudy day. Always test cleaning materials and procedures on a small inconspicuous area prior to use on a large scale.
