• A patio cover is an asset to any garden. To begin
  with, it is an absolute added value for your
  home. A patio cover can best be described as a
  luxury roof without walls or partitions.   
• Of course, you can use the patio cover as sun
  protection or protection against the rain. So,
  you can optimally enjoy your garden at any time
  without being bothered by the weather conditions.
  Moreover, it can be used for the protective
  function to keep bicycles, the barbecue or your
  garden furniture dry and out of the wind.  
• A patio cover generally does not require much
  maintenance, but it is still advisable to clean
  it at least twice a year. This ensures a longer
  lifespan. Additionally, you can enjoy your garden
  or terrace, even more, when the patio cover is
  shining beautifully.

Cleaning the Patio Cover  

• Our patio covers in Vancouver have a roof
  covering made of solid polycarbonate, aluminum,
  or glass material. It is best to clean the roof
  covering with a cleaning hose, and not by rubbing
  it with a cloth. So how exactly should you
  proceed?  
• Basic points to consider  
• Add an organic neutral soap product to the water
  for optimal results.  
• Spray the roof with a garden hose having normal
  pressure.  
• Clean the aluminum profiles  
• The edge aluminum frame of your patio cover
  requires even less maintenance than the roof
  covering.  
• Wash the profiles with a sponge and lukewarm
  water with a neutral cleaning product (possibly
  the same product as for the roof covering).  
• Repeat this every (half) year.

What Should You Definitely Not do?  

• It is always essential that you clean a patio
  cover correctly. If you fail to do this, you run
  the risk of irreparably damaging your roof. Of
  course, you would rather avoid this. Therefore,
  make sure to avoid the following cleaning
  agents  
• Scouring pads These can scour a small layer of
  the paint and thus damage the roof.  
• Abrasive, acidic or aggressive cleaning agents
  These can peel off the paint.  
• High- pressure cleaner A pressure cleaner sprays
  the water with a (too) high force, which can also
  damage the cover.

Step-by-Step Guide for Patio Cover Maintenance

• 1. Cleaning The Roof  
• Safety comes first when cleaning the roof. We,
  therefore, advise you not to walk on the roof
  plates. Use a ladder to put against the roof. To
  prevent damage to your roof, you can wrap a cloth
  around the top of the ladder. Then first remove
  the loose dirt from the roof panels with a soft
  broom. After that, follow the tips appropriate to
  the roof type

Clean Sliding Glass Walls

• Do you have sliding glass walls in your patio
  cover? Just like windows, you should clean glass
  walls regularly. After all, it would be awkward
  that the open view to your garden is obstructed
  by stripes or spots. You can then polish the
  glass plates in the same way as the windows of
  your house. Do not forget to also take the bottom
  guide of the rail system with you when cleaning.
  This way, the glass panels can continue to slide
  effortlessly. With some water, you can easily
  rinse the dirt away. With some lukewarm water
  with a dash of vinegar and a sponge, clean the
  entire surface, then remove the water with a
  squeegee.
