Care & Maintenance Guidelines
Prime Gutter Experts’ Aluminum Gutter Coil and Gutter System products are built for durability in residential settings. Under normal conditions, rainfall is usually sufficient to keep them clean. When cleaning is necessary, please adhere to the following guidelines:
- Light Soil Accumulation:
Rinse with a garden hose using a soft-bristled brush. Avoid high-pressure sprays to prevent surface damage. - Heavy Dirt:
Use a solution of 1/3 cup mild detergent, 2/3 cup trisodium phosphate, and 1 gallon of water. - Mildew Removal:
For mildew (which may appear as dark spots), use the above solution with the addition of 1 quart of a 5% sodium hypochlorite solution mixed with 3 quarts of water. - Removing Adhesives or Tar:
Apply a small amount of mineral spirits to the area, then rinse thoroughly with water. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and test any cleaning method on a small, inconspicuous area first.
