EUROLUX BLINDS CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR OUR
CLEAR/TINTED PVC BLINDS
•
To ensure proper function of the blind, fully extend blind on a regular basis ;
•
Roll up only when blind is clean and dry;
•
Roll up completely if high winds or storms are expected so no undue strain is placed on the
fittings and mountings;
•
Roll up blinds when doing maintenance work nearby (eg. cleaning gutting and mowing
lawns);
A PVC blind is not a solid structure so small changes can occur over time and especially in both
winter and summer.
•
PVC blinds may be slightly baggy when first installed;
•
Preserve the life of the blind by treating it carefully so it retains its shape and functions
properly;
•
PVC blinds react overtime to their exposure to sunlight which may cause variations in the
blind to another depending on their positioning to the sun.
•
PVC blinds contract and tighten up in winter (a small allowance is made for this when
measuring for the blind);
•
PVC blinds sometimes show white foggy marks when rolled down after a long period of
being rolled up in the rain. This will disappear in 5-10 days depending on exposure time
during sunlight;
•
PVC blinds may stretch and become quiet soft depending on their exposure time with the
sun;
•
In an enclosed area PVC blinds will create a hot house effect so may have to rolled up during
hot days.
TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR PRODUCT
:
•
Gently hose to remove loose dust;
•
Clean with a dilute solution of mild soap only and warm water SCRATCHING WILL RESULT IF
YOU RUB DIRT OR GRIT INTO THE SURFACE;
•
Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. A recommended product to provide a good finish is VUPLEX.
Use as instructed;
•
Roll up blind when doing maintenance work nearby (eg. cleaning gutters, mowing &
trimming lawns);
•
Roll up completely if high winds or storms are expected so no undue strain is placed on the
fittings and mountings;
•
DO NOT LEAVE ROLLED UP FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME (harder to remove wrinkles over
time);
•
DO NOT LEAVE ROLLED UP IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT (heat can build up inside the roll damaging
the PVC);
•
AVOID ROLLING UP WHILE WET. PVC can absorb water which will show up as cloudy
residue. This will eventually disappear in the blind if left unrolled in the sun;
•
DO NOT ROLL OUTWARDS. Staining can occur if dirt, leaves and moisture collect in the roll.
•
FLAMMABLE! Keep hot surfaces and flames away!
