# Maintenance instructions DuroGrit
Cleaning instructions
Regular cleaning can be done with Exterior Soap (Ecospray). Do not use any other cleaning products or detergents as these might affect
the protection!
Maintenance instructions
In general we recommend a yearly visual check-up just after winter season.
Please check for the presence of the following two points:
a. Dirt & green deposits; clean with low pressure water and a soft brush or use Exterior Soap (consult Technical Data Sheet before use)
b. Fading of colors
If necessary (concerning point b) apply a maintenance coat according to the instructions. First clean the wood surface with Exterior Wood Cleaner, then apply a layer of DuroGrit in the original color. Depending on the degree of fading of the color, dilute DuroGrit with
maximum 20% water to avoid applying too much product and making the color too opaque.
The frequency of maintenance depends on the weather conditions, sun exposure, geographic situation, wood type (softwood vs hardwood) and color. In normal weather conditions:
- Vertical surfaces: every 3-5 years
- Horizontal surfaces: up to 2 years
