5.5 Cleaning the powder-coated aluminium parts
5.5.1
In saltwater areas
Damage to the product
Particularly in saltwater areas, there is a possibility that salt may disperse or accumulate on the
product.
Wash off any salt deposits at regular intervals or as required, but no less than twice a
year.
Recommendation: Call in a specialist company to do the work for you.
This is a good way to protect the aluminium parts and their surface from being
corroded by salty water.
5.5.2
In non-saltwater areas
Clean the aluminium parts at least once a year, and even more often if heavily soiled. To clean,
use clean water and add a few drops of pH-neutral or very slightly alkaline detergent.
5.6 Cleaning PVC fabrics
If the PVC-coated fabric is dirty, this impairs the durability, favours the formation of mould and
leads to an increased absorption of dirt.
Therefore, clean the PVC-coated fabric on a regular basis and/or in case of excessive pollution.
Product damage due to improper cleaning of the PVC fabrics!
Adhere to the following measures during cleaning to prevent product damage.
Clean PVC-coated fabrics only with plain water and a neutral, liquid cleaning agent.
Avoid straining the fabric material unnecessarily during the cleaning process. Always
adapt the concentration of the cleaning agent, the water temperature, as well as the
pressure to be applied to the degree of pollution of the fabric and only use soft
cleaning cloths (alternatively: hand brushes/ rotating brushes with soft bristles)
Never use solvents such as turpentine, saltpeter solution, acetate, aromatic
compounds, hydrocarbons (benzine/ diesel) or corrosive products (acids/strong
bases), as these can damage the surface of the fabric, impair the protection against
outside impacts or destroy the fabric material.
At the end of the washing operations, rinse the PVC-coated fabric with abundant water
in order to remove every trace of cleaning agent. The last rinse has to be carried out
with a diluted 2% solution of sodium hypochlorite.
