Product Maintenance

The Purchaser must ensure the Shelter or OBSB is kept in good condition by regularly cleaning the surfaces. We recommend that the surfaces are cleaned as regularly as the Purchaser would clean the Purchasers own car to maintain its paint. In coastal or industrial environments, the Shelter or OBSB should be cleaned more often. Frequent maintenance is necessary to prevent dust, salts, pollutants and any grime or debris gathering on the surfaces and decreasing its life. It is recommended that the surfaces be cleaned using a pH neutral detergent together with a soft bristled nylon broom or brush. Always rinse the surfaces thoroughly with clean potable water. Never use high pressure water blasters or solvent, acid or abrasive based cleaners. For shelters, if white rust appears the surface should be cleaned immediately using white vinegar and a stiff nylon brush, then rinsed thoroughly with potable water. If any white rust remains clean with a generous amount of methylated spirits on a rag and wipe over thoroughly. If any red rust appears the rust should be removed using white vinegar and a wire brush. Once removed, rinse with potable water and dry thoroughly. Once dry apply a zinc rich primer followed by a quality cold galvanising paint. Always use the correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) before undertaking any maintenance tasks. Always refer to product labels and Technical Data Sheets before using products.
