How to Maintain and Clean Your PVC Strip Curtains for Long Life

Regular maintenance is crucial for maximizing the lifespan and performance of your PVC strip curtains.

Regular Cleaning Procedures
Clean strips weekly with mild soap and warm water. Use soft cloths to avoid scratching. Remove buildup from dust, grease, and residue promptly. Dry thoroughly to prevent moisture-related issues.

Handling Stubborn Stains
For grease buildup, use a degreaser diluted with water. For mold or mildew, use a mild bleach solution (1:10 ratio). Always test solutions on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid abrasive scrubbing which damages the material.

Storage When Not in Use
If removing strips, store them flat on a clean surface. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation. Store in cool, dry locations. Use cardboard separators to prevent sticking.

Preventive Maintenance
Inspect strips regularly for cuts, cracks, or deformation. Replace damaged strips immediately as they compromise effectiveness. Lubricate hinges and hardware to maintain smooth operation.

Temperature Considerations
PVC performs best between 5°C and 40°C. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures. In cold storage areas, use thicker PVC variants. In outdoor areas, use UV-resistant options.
