Sprayed UPVC should be cleaned using warm soapy water and a soft cloth once the coating has fully cured.
Regular gentle cleaning helps prevent the build-up of dirt and keeps the finish looking fresh. For more information on how to clean your UPVC safely, have a read of our blog post here.
When Can You Start Cleaning Sprayed UPVC?
Once the spray coating has completely dried and cured, normal cleaning can begin. This is usually within 24 hours, though care should be taken during the first few days to avoid heavy abrasion.
How Often Should Sprayed UPVC Be Cleaned?
Cleaning every few months is usually sufficient. This helps remove:
- General dirt and grime
- Environmental residue from rain and pollution
- Build-up that can dull the appearance over time
- Build-up which turns UPVC yellow
More exposed areas may benefit from slightly more frequent cleaning.
What Should You Avoid Using?
To protect the finish, avoid these sorts of cleaning products:
- Abrasive sponges or scouring pads
- Strong chemical cleaners or solvents
- Pressure washers used at close range
These can damage the coating and reduce its lifespan.
