Caring for Clear Vinyl Panels

Keep your vinyl panels crystal clear and in great condition

Cleaning Clear Vinyl

Keep your clear vinyl panels crystal clear with proper cleaning:

  • Regular Cleaning: Rinse with clean water to remove dust
  • Deeper Cleaning: Use mild soap and water with a soft cloth
  • Stubborn Spots: Warm soapy water and gentle rubbing
  • Dry Carefully: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots
  • Polish (Optional): Use a vinyl polish for extra clarity
Temperature Considerations

Clear vinyl behaves differently at different temperatures:

  • Cold Weather: Vinyl becomes more rigid - this is normal
  • Hot Weather: Vinyl becomes more flexible
  • Installation Tip: Install at moderate temperatures for best results
  • Direct Sun: Panels may feel warm but won't be damaged
Storage Tips

If you remove vinyl panels for summer (when using mosquito curtains instead):

  • Never Fold: Always roll vinyl panels to avoid creases
  • Clean First: Make sure panels are clean and dry
  • Roll Loosely: Don't roll too tightly
  • Store Flat or Upright: Keep rolls horizontal or vertical
  • Moderate Temperature: Store in a climate-controlled area if possible
Things to Avoid

Protect your vinyl panels by avoiding these:

  • Folding: Creates permanent creases - always roll
  • Abrasive Cleaners: Can scratch the surface
  • Paper Towels: Can scratch - use soft cloths only
  • Ammonia-Based Cleaners: Can cloud the vinyl
  • Pressure Washing: Too aggressive for vinyl
  • Sharp Objects: Vinyl can puncture - handle carefully
