care
Our recommendation:
Your PergoTex has been designed for low maintenance. In the unlikely event that it should fail,
the service work should be performed by a specialist company.
If lubricants are required during the service work, use greases, sprays or liquids that contain
elements of Teflon, PTFE or comparable agents. For best, long-lasting effects, the lubricant
must be water- and dirt-repellent. The manufacturer's guidelines must be observed at all times.
Do not use lubricants that corrode plastics.
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
We strongly recommend that you use a cleaning agent, preferably liquid, in water solution to
clean the PVS-coated fabrics.
The concentration of the solution, the temperature and the pressure that can be exerted on the
surface have to be adjusted to the degree of soiling.
If the coated fabric is stored in a dirty condition, this can impair its duration and can favour the
formation of moulds and the absorbing of the dirt inside the material.
The cleaning should be done with soft, moist cloths. As an alternative,
hand brushes or rotating brushes with soft bristles can be used.
It is absolutely forbidden to use solvents such as: turpentine, nitre solvents, acetate, aromatic
compounds, hydrocarbons (petrol or diesel), acids and caustic products, because such products
corrode the surface of the fabric impairing the protection from the external influences.
