Care and Maintenance

Outdoor Elements Louvered Roof systems are durable and easy to maintain with proper care and cleaning. To protect your louvered roof and keep it looking like new, we advise the following cleaning methods.

Download the cleaning information for more details.

Moderate Cleaning

Start with a light rinse: Use a garden hose and a soft brush or cloth with clear water to give the occasional light cleaning to your louvered roof, being sure to work from the top down. In most cases, this method will eliminate the majority of dirt and grime.

Heavier Cleaning

Follow-up with hand washing: For dirt that doesn't dissipate with a rinse, use a bucket of warm water and a mild all-purpose cleaner such as laundry soap or 409. Using a soft-bristled brush or cloth, scrub the louvered roof gently, starting at the top and working downward. After hand-washing a section, rinse it with your hose and move on to the next section. If there are still stains remaining, move on to the step below.

1/3 cup detergent
2/3 cup trisodium phosphate
1 gallon water

Mildew Removal

Mildew, which usually appears as a black spot, is often evident on surfaces that have not been properly maintained. The following cleaning solution is recommended for mildew removal:

1/3 cup detergent
2/3 cup trisodium phosphate
1 quart sodium hypochloride 5% solution
3 quarts water

Cleaning Dont's

To protect your louvered roof and keep it looking like new, it's important to follow simple cleaning guidelines. We do not recommend the use of scrubbing compounds or high-pressure washers as they could cause significant damage to your louvered roof.

Avoid the following:

1. Acetic acid, oxalic acid, and phosphoric acid are not advised in concentrations exceeding 0.5 percent. Hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, and similar acids in any concentration should not be used.

2. Do not use highly alkaline, aqueous cleaning agents for cleaning.

3. Ester, ketone, acetone, glycol ether, benzine, thinners, stain removers, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and any other solvent-based agents are unsuitable.
