It’s easy to maintain the great look of your Fairway Aluminum System. Like anything
exposed to the elements, your railing or fence will get dirty, but in most cases you can
simply spray the dirt off with your garden hose. For more stubborn dirt or stain removal,
follow these simple instructions:
NOTE: PROTECT SHRUBBERY FROM DIRECT CONTACT WITH CLEANING AGENTS.
Proper maintenance and care of your Aluminum Railing is critical to the long term appearance and
protection of your Investment. We recommend an occasional wash, every six (6) months, as the
best way for this to be accomplished.
Natural exposure to the elements, over time, will cause your railing to show signs of aging such as
loss of gloss, chalking, or a slight color change. Your normal interval cleanings may minimize these
natural effects of weathering by removing the dirt, grime and other build-up that is detrimental to
the appearance of your Aluminum Railing.
The manufacturer recommends an occasional wash of your Aluminum Railing using a solution of
warm water and a non-abrasive, pH neutral detergent. All surfaces should be thoroughly wetted
prior to beginning the cleaning process.
All surfaces should be cleaned using a soft white cloth, sponge or a soft bristle brush in conjunc-
tion with your water and detergent solution. Spot cleaning may be accomplished using Simple
Green or Windex. All surfaces should then be
thoroughly rinsed after the cleaning process to remove any and all residue that may be remaining.
Any remaining residue may cause discoloration or surface damage when exposed to the elements.
Additional care should be given if a
pressure-washer is used, and in no case should you exceed 400 PSI.
NOTES:
• DO NOT clean your railing with solvents, thinners or solutions containing chlorinated
hydrocarbons, esters, or ketenes.
• DO NOT use abrasive cleaners
• DO NOT use steel wool, Scotch-Brite, sandpaper, or any other abrasive materials
The frequency and necessity of cleaning will depend on the environment and railing location.
Due to the adverse affects to your Aluminum Railing when it is not cleaned as suggested or the
potential use of non-approved cleaners/detergents; we require these simple steps to maintain the
manufacturer’s warranty in force. These records may be requested in the unlikely event of a claim
against the manufactures warranty.
1. Clean your Aluminum Railing every 6 months
2. Write down your cleaning dates and schedule
3. Clean your Aluminum Railing as outlined above
4. Write down notes of your cleaning methods and chemicals used
5. Maintain a copy of your commercial invoices for cleaning
6. Maintain a copy of your purchase receipts of the cleaners used
With proper care and maintenance the appearance of your Aluminum Railing will last for years.
Climate conditions affect the performance and cleanliness of painted aluminum in the same way
as other coated materials. Installations in coastal regions, low rainfall areas, areas with heavy
industry, periodic care and cleaning will be critical to maintain the durability and finish of your
Aluminum Railing.
Aluminum Railing has been coated with an extremely durable surface meeting the AAMA 2604
specifications. As an added measure of protection and finish life you can periodically wax your
railing just as you might your car. This process will remove any oxidized paint, bringing back the
original color and shine of your system.
