Care and Maintenance Instructions

Prepare cleaning solution (1 tsp baby shampoo to one gallon of water or 1 1/2 cups vinegar to one gallon of water).

1. Rinse surface with clean water from top to bottom.
2. Clean with mild soap and water and sponge or soft brush with uniform pressure horizontally, then vertically.
3. Promptly rinse thoroughly with clean water (spongingwhile rinsing may be helpful; do not allow cleaning solution to dry on the surface or collect and puddle).
4. Wipe dry with lint-free dry cloth.
5. If necessary, repeat steps above until clean.
6. Dry window frame and sill with separate cloth

• Do not power-wash windows or use a garden hose; this can cause seal failure and allow water to enter the structure.
• When cleaning exterior, multi-story windows, begin withthe upper story and work down.
• Avoid using metal tools, razor blades, or other sharp objects and abrasive cleaners. They can damage window surfaces, scratch glass and remove glass coatings.
• Do not allow aggressive cleaners to come into contact with metal surfaces. Immediately rinse and dry.
• Do not allow cleaners to puddle or collect at glass edges near glazing materials.
• Avoid cleaning in direct sunlight or in temperatures too hot or too cold. • Avoid excessive rubbing and over-cleaning.
• Do not scour.
• Clean and rinse one area at a time.
• Clean twice a year (monthly in coastal areas) or when dirty.
• After-market tints and films are not recommended, as they may cause damage to the glass and/or sealant.

Inspecting and maintaining weatherstrip can help avoid costly structural damage from water leakage and energy loss due to air and/or water infiltration. Replace weatherstrip, that is missing, torn, cracked, brittle, discolored, gummy, or that has no “bounce back” when pressed down. Call us for replacement instructions.

1. Clean with damp cloth or mild soap and water.
2. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. Repeat if necessary.

NOTE: In coastal applications and in harsh environments, such as near salt water, Euroline Steel Windows and Doors recommends quarterly inspections and maintenance. Salt and other corrosive or abrasive substances must not be allowed to build up on exterior surfaces.

Clean the exterior with a mild detergent soap and water at least every three months and more frequently if necessary to prevent build up. Any scratches, chips or areas of abrasion to the exterior coating must be repaired immediately.

1. Remove any window or door hardware
2. Sand the door or window to prepare it for painting using a fine grit sand paper such as 220g or a 320g. Scrape away any thick paint or flaking paint before sanding. Use a damp cloth to remove particles left over from sanding.
3. Cover any glass or other non-removable items on the door with painter's tape and newspaper.
4. It is recommended that you re-prime your product prior to painting. Next, stir the paint in the can with a paint stick to thoroughly mix the paint.
5. Paint the edges of the door first. Next, paint all the panels that are part of the door. A good technique is to then paint from the top of the door to the bottom.
6. Go over the painted surface lightly with the paint brush. Do this after you paint each section to remove any brush marks.
7. Re-install all window and door hardware after the paint is thoroughly dry.
