CARE AND MAINTENANCE
GenStone Products are some of the most durable building products materials available today for residenal
applicaons.
In most cases, normal rainfall is sucient to keep it clean. But if your GenStone Products should need cleaning,
we recommend the following procedures. Parcular aenon should be given to areas under eaves, porches,
awnings and other overhangs that have limited exposure to the natural washing eect of rainfall.
1. Moderate Atmospheric Dirt: We recommend an occasional washing with clear water using a garden
hose and so-bristled brush (a long-handled, car-washing brush is ideal for this purpose).
2. Heavy Industrial Atmospheric Dirt: Wash in the manner indicated above, but use the following soluon:
a. 1/3 cup detergent or 1/3 cup dish soap (Tide®, for example)
b. 2/3 cup trisodium phosphate (Soilmax or Dirtex, for example)
c. 1 gallon water
3. Mildew Accumulaon: Mildew can collect on surfaces of all types of building
products and is oen evident on surfaces that have not been properly cared for and
maintained. Normally, mildew will appear as black spots. Mildew is easy to remove
by using the basic cleaning soluon above with the addion of sodium hypochlorite
as follows:
a. 1/3 cup detergent (Tide®, for example)
b. 2/3 cup trisodium phosphate (Soilax®, for example)
d. 1 gallon water
4. Caulking Compounds, Tar and Similar Substances: Use mineral spirits in reasonable amounts and apply
directly to the foreign substance. Immediately aer cleaning, rinse the area thoroughly with water.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the recommended concentraons of cleaners. To do so can cause damage to the
Product. Avoid skin and eye contact with the soluon, and in all cases follow manufacturer’s instrucons for
the use of cleaning compounds and soluons. Avoid use of abrasive-type cleaners and strong solvents. Test any
cleaner on an inconspicuous area before applying to major areas. To minimize streaking, always follow with a
rinsing of clear water. Excessive scrubbing is unnecessary and can be harmful to the Products, and may cause
undesirable look in areas over the nish.
