"Instructions...
The following simple cleaning procedures should be performed at least once a year or more often if necessary.
General Cleaning...
For surface soil and stains, such as those resulting from industrial fallout, tree sap, insecticides, or chimney fumes, use ordinary nonabrasive household detergent.
The solution should be applied to the soiled surface by means of a soft rag, sponge or soft bristle brush with a gentle rubbing action. Do not rub vigorously so as to create glossy areas over the satin finish. Soft bristle brushes equipped with long extension handles may be used to reach some of the higher areas.
It is important that immediately following all washing operations, the entire surface be thoroughly rinsed with fresh water from a garden hose.
Stubborn stains...
If stubborn stains are encountered, use a heavy-duty cleaner such as "Fantastik." Heavy soil deposits may not be removable in one application and may require repeated cleaning over some length of time. Do not use cleaners containing abrasive particles, ammonia, solvents, or paint removers for cleaning. These materials may soften or remove the finish.
Climatic Problems...
Climates vary considerably from one locality to the next. In some areas, mildew may be a problem. It appears as black spots on the surface dirt and is usually detected first on the undersides of the rain gutter. For removal, prepare the solution below and apply as outlined above.
1/3 cup detergent (Tide for example)
2/3 cup Tri sodium Phosphate (Soilax for example)
1 quart 5% Sodium Hypo chlorate solution (Clorox for example)
3 quarts water
Caution: Greater concentrations may cause damage to the finish."
