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
