PVC Strip Curtain Maintenance – Cleaning Tips for Long Life

PVC strip curtains are an investment in temperature control, hygiene, and safety—but like any industrial asset, they need regular care.

Dirty or damaged strip curtains:

• Look unhygienic

• Reduce visibility

• Fail to seal properly

• Become brittle over time

In this guide, we share practical maintenance and cleaning tips to extend the life of your curtains—whether you're using them in a warehouse, hotel cold room, factory, or clean room.

🧼 Cleaning Frequency – How Often is Enough?

👉 The more sensitive or dirty the environment, the more frequently you should clean.

🧽 Step-by-Step Cleaning Process

🛠 Tools & Materials Needed:

• Soft microfiber cloth or sponge

• Bucket with warm water

• Mild detergent or diluted dish soap

• Optional: Soft-bristle brush

• Optional: Anti-static spray (for high-dust areas)

✅ Step 1: Remove Loose Dust

Wipe each strip with a dry microfiber cloth to remove surface dust.

✅ Step 2: Apply Soapy Water

Mix warm water with a few drops of dish soap. Use a soft sponge to clean both sides of the strips.

Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrub pads that can scratch the surface.

✅ Step 3: Rinse and Dry

Wipe off the soap using a cloth dampened with plain water.
Then dry with a clean, soft towel.

✅ Step 4 (Optional): Anti-static Spray

In dusty environments, use an anti-static spray to reduce dust build-up.

🔧 Maintenance Tips to Increase Lifespan

🔄 Rotate Strips Periodically

If you notice wear in the center (due to repeated walk-throughs), rotate outer strips to the middle every few months.

🔩 Check Hardware

Inspect mounting plates and hooks quarterly. Tighten screws and realign misaligned strips.

☀ Avoid Direct Sunlight

Prolonged UV exposure can yellow and weaken the plastic. Use tinted or UV-resistant strips in sunlit zones.

❄ Use Polar Grade PVC in Freezers

Standard PVC becomes brittle below 0°C. Switch to Polar Grade PVC for cold storage or freezer doors.

❌ Don’t Use Acidic or Alcohol-Based Cleaners

These can damage the material and shorten its life.

📈 Benefits of Regular Cleaning

• Crystal-clear visibility

• Better hygiene (especially in food/pharma)

• Longer strip life

• Stronger magnetic or overlapping seal
