Though factory-applied pre-painted nishes are very durable and will last many years, eventually it may be

desirable to thoroughly clean or repaint them.

Dirt accumulation may cause apparent discoloration of the paint when it has been exposed in some dirt-laden

environments for long periods of time. In areas of strong sunlight, slight chalking may cause some change

in appearance. A good cleaning will often restore the appearance of these buildings and render repainting

unnecessary. An occasional light cleaning will help maintain a good appearance.

In many cases, simply washing the building with plain water using a hose or pressure sprayer will be adequate.

In areas where heavy dirt deposits dull the surface, a cloth or soft bristle brush and solution of water and

detergent (

cup of laundry detergent per gallon of water for example) may be used. This should be followed by

an adequate rinse of water. Do not use wire brushes, abrasives or cleaning tools which will damage the coating

surface.

Mildew may occur in areas subject to high humidity but is not normally a problem due to the high inherent

mildew resistance of the baked nish that is used. To remove mildew along with the dirt, the following solution is

recommended.

cup detergent (Tide

or equivalent)

cup trisodium phosphate (Solex

or equivalent)

1 quart of 5% sodium hypochlorite solution (Clorox

or equivalent)

3 quarts of water

Strong solvents and abrasive type cleaners should be avoided. Most organic solvents are ammable and toxic

and must be handled accordingly. When using a solvent, consult maintenance professionals and label instructions

for proper handling and disposal of washings. If required, a mild solvent such as mineral spirits can be used to

remove caulking compounds, oil, grease, tars, wax and similar substances. Use a cloth dampened with mineral

spirits and apply only to areas which are contaminated. Follow up the use of this mild solvent with detergent

cleaning and rinsing.
