Your roller shutter has to put up with wind and weather every single day. In the course of this, it can become soiled over time. Strong solar radiation can bake soiling into the roller curtain. Dust and dirt can also damage the roller shutter mechanism.

That's why you should clean your roller shutter regularly, and at least once every year.

The following tools are required for cleaning:

• Whisk broom (soft bristles)
• Vacuum cleaner (optional)
• Bucket
• Low-calcium water (recommendation)
• Cleaning concentrate suitable for metal and plastic surfaces
• Damp cloth/cleaning glove
• Cotton cloth

Clean in stages from top to bottom: start with the guide rails, move down to the curtain and then to the end rail.

Start with preliminary cleaning:

• Remove any loose soiling from the entire product (e.g. dust). A whisk broom or vacuum cleaner can be used for this.
• If the product is installed outside, you can also rinse off loose dirt with clear water at a low water pressure.
• Before you start, remove any objects that must not get wet.

Then you can start with the detailed cleaning:

• Prepare a bucket with water and cleaning agent for sun shading products. Note the dosing quantities specified by the cleaning agent manufacturer.
• Wet the cleaning glove.
• Clean the product components with a wiping motion. Repeat the procedure as needed based on the degree of soiling.
• Remove the loosened dirt before it dries.
