Roller shutters have become one of most common things for our home, garage or workshop, because

they come with a lot of beneficial features that you simply cannot ignore. Today, shutters are even

made of transparent fiber or plastic means your door and windows will provide light even when they are

closed. Along with light materials, modern shutters are now being manufactured with tough metals such

as aluminum, which has become one of the most indispensable things for any business owner. The

toughness of window roller shutters protects the property from any unauthorized entry.

However, we have to understand the fact that roller shutter needs occasional maintenance that will

enhance its longevity. In this article, we will show you a few steps through which you can keep these

shutters in great condition.

Use Moderate Sprayers to Clean Shutters

Whenever you decide to clean your shutter, make sure that you are applying right tool in the process.

The pressure of the sprayer definitely will be a matter of concern, because too much pressure can

damage the product and can wear off its original color. However, you should apply the solution of water

and mild soap with moderate sprayer. You can even apply this on anodized aluminum made shutters.

Take Care of Shutter Guides

Every roller shutter has its guides on edges and you should put attention on those areas too. Guides are

vertical parts of shutter that help the cover to move up and down. However, for efficient and smooth

operation, you have to clean them when you are taking care of other parts.

Apart from water and mild soap, you can apply silicon spray in those areas and see how it helps the

shutter to function properly. However, you should avoid the use of petroleum-based products as they

damage it.

Be Careful When Applying Water on Wooden Shutters

Along with aluminum and fiber, your commercial or residential roller shutters in Sydney can be made of

wood and to clean them, you have to take special care, because wood can bend or deteriorate if water

stays on them for a longer period. Thus, try to apply little water on them and dry as soon as possible.

It Is Better to Clean on a Sunny Day

Sunny days are better to undertake the cleaning process, because such condition will make your shutter

dry quickly. Rainy days can hamper your work if you are cleaning your shutters from outside. However,

bring all your cleaning tools together and start it in daytime.

Oil the Rollers on Regular Basis

You can find it very difficult to open roller shutter after a long use, because the oil present in roller gets

dried up with the passage of time. However, the manufacturer can recommend a certain type of oil for

your shutter’s roller. Thus, purchase the product and apply on roller bearing placed at the top of your

residential or commercial window roller shutters for better operation.
