Cleaning Your Garage Door

Important: Do not use a pressure washer on your garage door!

While factory-applied finishes on garage doors are durable, it is desirable to clean them on a

routine basis. Some discoloration of the finish may occur when a door has been exposed to dirt-laden atmosphere for a period of time. Slight chalking may also occur as a result of direct exposure to sunlight.

Cleaning the door will generally restore the appearance of the finish. To maintain an aesthetically pleasing finish of the garage door, a periodic washing of the garage door is recommended.

The following cleaning solution is recommended:

A mild detergent solution consisting of one cup detergent (with less than 0.5% phosphate) dis- solved into five gallons of warm water will aid in the removal of most dirt.

Note: The use of detergents containing greater than 0.5% phosphate is not recommended for use in general cleaning of garage doors.

Note: Be sure to clean behind weather stripping on both sides and top of door.

Caution: Never mix cleansers or detergents with bleach.

Glass cleaning instructions

Clean with a mild detergent solution (same as above) and a soft cloth. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly.

Acrylic cleaning instructions

Clean acrylic glazing with nonabrasive soap or detergent and plenty of water. Use your bare hands to feel and dislodge any caked on particles. A soft, grit-free cloth, sponge or chamois may be used to wipe the surface. Do not use hard or rough cloths that will scratch the acrylic glazing. Dry glazing with a clean damp chamois.

Note: Do not use any window cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths or solvent- based cleaners of any kind.

Painting Your Garage Door

Surface preparation for painting

Wax on the surface must be removed or paint peeling/ flaking will result. To remove this wax, it will be necessary to lightly scuff the surface with a fine steel wool pad saturated with soapy water. A final wipe and rinse should be done with clean water only to remove any loose particles and any soapy film residue.

Surface scratches, which have not exposed the metal substrate, can be lightly buffed or sanded with 0000 steel wool or no. 400 sand paper to create a smoother surface. Care must be taken to not expose the substrate under the paint. Once the substrate is exposed, the likelihood for rusting is greatly increased.

If substrate is exposed, it must be treated to prevent rust from forming. Sand the exposed area lightly and paint with a high quality metal primer specifically intended for galvanized surfaces to protect the area from corrosion. Allow for drying time on primer can label before applying topcoat.

The surface of the factory-applied finish, that is being painted, must not be too smooth, or the paint will not adhere to it. It is advisable to test in an inconspicuous area, to evaluate adhesion. If poor adhesion is observed, surface preparation for painting the factory-applied finish must be repeated until desired results are achieved. Again, care must be taken to not expose the substrate under the paint.

Painting

After surface has been properly prepared, it must be allowed to dry thoroughly, and then coated immediately with premium quality latex house paint. Follow paint label directions explicitly. Oil base or solvent base paints are not recommended. Please note that if substrate is exposed and not properly primed, painting with latex paint may cause accelerated rusting of the metal in the exposed area.

NOTES:

1.Re-painting of finish painted steel doors cannot be warranted, as this condition is totally beyond the door manufacturer’s control.

2.Consult a professional coatings contractor if in doubt about any of the above directions.

3.Follow directions explicitly on the paint container labels for proper applications of coatings and disposal of containers. Pay particular attention to acceptable weather and temperature condi- tions in which to paint.
