Cleaning Your Garage Door

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER ON YOUR GARAGE DOOR!

While factory-applied ﬁ nishes on garage doors are durable, it is desirable to clean them on a routine basis. Some discoloration of the

ﬁ nish 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 ﬁ nish. To maintain an aesthetically pleasing ﬁ nish 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) dissolved into ﬁ ve 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 ﬂ uids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths or solvent-based cleaners of any kind.

Surface Preparation for Painting

Wax on the surface must be removed or paint peeling/ﬂ aking will result. To remove this wax, it will be necessary to lightly scuff the

surface with a ﬁ ne steel wool pad, saturated with soapy water. A ﬁ nal wipe and rinse should be done with clean water only, to remove

any loose particles and any soapy ﬁ lm 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, speciﬁ cally 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 ﬁ nish, 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 ﬁ nish 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 steel in the exposed area.
