Exterior Blinds Product Care

Doors
  • Doors may be cleaned with a soft brush using warm water and a mild detergent.
  • Rinse well with warm water to remove any detergent residue.
  • Do not use strong detergents or abrasive cleaners as they may scratch or damage the surface finish of the door.
  • Oiling the lock is NOT recommended.
Roller Shutters

Keeping your Roller Shutters looking like NEW is "Easy as 1-2-3".
  1. Make sure guides are not obstructed when curtain is in downward motion.
  2. Clean with hose in open vented position. Do not spray water directly into the pelmet box.
  3. When wiping clean, wipe in an up and down motion, never side to side, using only non-abrasive cleaning fluids.
Shutters must be cleaned regularly. We suggest cleaning every 3 months. We recommend the use of a "Shutter Clean Kit". Available from OZRoll Pty Ltd & authorized OZRoll distributors. Recommended retail $49.95 inc GST N.B. Do not slam the curtain into the box as this may cause a jam. All Roller Shutters should be operated at least once a month to ensure smooth operation.

Awnings

Canvas and Shadeview
  • Remove dust by brushing the fabric with a soft bristle brush. An occasional hosing will remove any dust and ingrained dirt.
  • NEVER scrub at the fabric and never use soap, bleach, solvents or cleaning fluids as these may damage the coating on the fabric.
  • Extensive cleaning of canvas over a period of time may affect the fabric's ability to repel water, resulting in the need to reproof with a mildew inhibited wax based agent.
  • Store, pack or roll up the fabric only when the blind is dry as moisture and dirt can encourage mould growth regardless of the fabric's composition.
PVC
  • PVC blinds may be cleaned with Vuplex. Vuplex will clean and protect a PVC blind, sealing the pores of the plastic and making small scratches less visible.
  • Spray on lightly and wipe off and buff with a soft cloth. DO NOT USE PAPER TOWELS.
  • PVC will shrink and go cloudy over time.
  • PVC blinds provide wind and rain protection only. They do not provide protection from the sun or UV radiation.
