Plastic Wall Panels
The white plastic panels will benefit from a periodic clean down.
The required frequency will be governed by the usage:
In a harsh kennel environment, the cleaning of the walls and floors should be
weekly, and the inspection frequency should be monthly.
In a lower usage, or domestic, environment, the cleaning frequency may be
pushed out to suit the individual unit.
Where a continual change of dogs takes place we recommend an increased
frequency of cleans.
External panels, or areas where the dogs have no access, should be cleaned every 3
months.
Prior to cleaning the wall panels, it is strongly recommended that the electricity
supply, where fitted, is fully isolated.
This is to prevent electric shock from using
water when undertaking a full clean down. Cleaning should be undertaken with a
mild detergent in warm water and the use of a soft cloth or sponge. After cleaning,
the walls should be thoroughly dried. Under no circumstances should any hosepipes
be directed at the internal surfaces.
Where small stains or scratches have appeared on the surfaces, then a proprietary
car paint “T-Cut” product may be assist in lessening the appearance of the mark. The
surface should be fully wiped afterwards to remove any residue that could pose a risk
to the dogs.
On an annual basis the wall panels would benefit from a light application of a
proprietary car wax. This would improve the aesthetic appearance of the panels.
If a panel becomes cracked or excessively scratched then the panel will need to be
replaced. To ensure correct alignment, match and compatibility, this process can be
undertaken by Broxap. This would be chargeable.
