Cleansers – to remove dust or mild dirt, simple water is usually safe and successful. After cleaning, dry the surface with a cloth to avoid visible water marks. For more stubborn stains, soapy water or mild detergent are safe to use. Rinse the cleaned area with water.
Do not use abrasives or acidic chemicals as they tend to wear off the protective surface layer and make the surface prone to effects from damaging UV radiation, acid rain, traffic film and similar factors, speeding the degradation of coating and therefore shortening the lifespan of the product.

If the products have been vandalized with paint or graffiti, mineral spirits should be used or power washing with a relatively low pressure. If the aforementioned methods are not applicable or do not give the desired result, or mechanical damages occur to the paint, it is recommended to disassemble damaged part and, if agreed upon, send back to the supplier for rework or ask for specific rework instructions. If disassembly is not an option then it is possible to do local coating repairs on the damaged area, although repaired area may remain visible because of the normal effect of wear and tear. For correct type of paint and the best result, please contact the supplier for instructions.

Cleaning intervals – depend on the use of the product and vary from 3 to 6 months.

The oiling interval depends on the effect of the environment on the products. In order to protect the wood the products should be re-oiled with the original surface coating every 12 months on average. When there is a desire to prolong the original tone of the surface treatment, it may be necessary to apply the original surface coating before 12 months, depending on how much the wood is exposed to UV light. When this is not followed, the tone of the wood surface may fade. This will not be considered as a quality defect.

For outdoor use, painted steel has an undercoat of Zinc to provide best adhesion and most long-lasting protection. For the city environment, paint has special and long-lasting properties to prolong aesthetic characteristics and reduce maintenance intervals.
Cleansers – to remove dust or mild dirt the use soapy water or mild detergent is usually sufficient. For more stubborn stains any household cleanser may be used, if rinsed properly with water. After cleaning, dry the surface with a cloth to avoid visible water marks.
Do not use abrasive industrial chemicals and/or paint remover. If the products have been vandalized with paint or graffiti, mineral spirits should be used or power washing with a relatively low pressure. If the aforementioned methods are not applicable, do not give the desired result or mechanical damages occur to the paint, it is recommended to disassemble the damaged part and, if agreed upon, send back to the supplier for rework or ask for more specific rework instructions from the supplier.

Cleaning intervals – depend on the use of the product and vary from 3 to 6 months.

Cleansers – to remove dust or mild dirt the use soapy water or mild detergent is usually sufficient. For getting rid of more stubborn stains, clean with alcohol based products, in which case rinsing with demineralized water should follow. After cleaning, dry the surface with a cloth.

If the products have been vandalized with paint or graffiti, solvent-based paint removers should be used. Avoid any mechanical scrapers because these might damage the surface.

Do not use abrasive industrial chemicals and chemicals containing hydrochloric acid (HCl)

If the aforementioned methods are not applicable, do not give the desired result or mechanical damages occur to the surface, it is recommended to disassemble the damaged part and, if agreed upon, send back to the supplier for rework or ask for more specific rework instructions from the supplier.

Cleaning intervals – depend on the use of the product and vary from 3 to 6 months.

NB! The greyish-white oxide layer occurring on the surface is neither dirt nor a defect that should be removed. The galvanized surface will turn greyish in contact with oxygen and this is a normal reaction.

Cleansers – to remove dust or mild dirt the use soapy water or mild detergent is usually sufficient. For more stubborn stains any creamy but not abrasive household cleanser may be used, if rinsed properly with water. After cleaning, dry the surface with a cloth to avoid visible water marks.

Stains caused by oil or grease should be cleaned with alcohol-based products, in which case rinsing with demineralized water should follow. After cleaning, dry the surface with a cloth.

Cleaning intervals – depending on the location of the product and the environment (seaside climate, industrial contamination, traffic pollution, use of salt in snow control and traffic pollution), the occurred light brown marks should be removed every 6 to 12 months. For this purpose a special stainless steel cleanser containing phosphoric acid (H3PO4) should be used.
