Regularly cleaned roller shutters retain their appearance and allow dirt to be removed before it builds up in guide rails and moving areas. The following steps explain how to clean roller shutters carefully.
Dust, pollen and deposits can collect on the curtain, end rail and guide rails. Inspect and clean the product at suitable intervals based on exposure and the product instructions.
Before cleaning, secure the roller shutter against unintended movement and make sure the work area can be reached safely.
Suitable cleaning equipment:
- soft hand brush
- vacuum cleaner with a soft attachment, if suitable
- bucket and low-mineral water
- mild cleaner approved for the product surface
- soft cloth or cleaning glove
- clean cotton cloth for drying
Do not use abrasive pads, aggressive solvents, steam cleaners or high-pressure equipment.
Step 1: remove loose dirt
- Brush or vacuum loose dust from accessible surfaces.
- Clean the guide rails first, then the curtain and end rail.
- Where permitted, rinse external surfaces with clear water at low pressure.
- Protect nearby objects and electrical components from water.
Step 2: wash and rinse the surfaces
- Mix water and cleaner according to the manufacturer instructions.
- Wipe the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth or cleaning glove.
- Repeat only where required and remove loosened dirt before it dries.
- Rinse with clean water and dry accessible surfaces with a soft cloth.
