General Care
• Wash I-Series profile periodically using standard household
cleaners�
• Strong detergents, oxidizers and concentrated mineral
acids, aromatic and/or halogenated hydrocarbons, esters,
ethers, and ketones should be avoided.
• Water, aqueous salt solutions, detergent solutions, dilute
acids and alkalies are acceptable.
• To ensure that the cleaner will not damage the cap, test
a small patch of profile or a scrap piece of I-Series
material before use�
• Do not use standard composite profile cleaners
on I-Series�
• Clean up spills as soon as is possible to prevent them from
becoming stains�
• Certain chemicals in insect sprays, sunblock's, oils from
certain plants, and undiluted chlorine are some common
materials that may come in contact with your profile and
are not compatible with the HDPE Cap. Prevent these ma
terials from interacting with the I-Series boards�
• Items such as rubber mats and garden hoses may leach
esters, which may affect the surface of the I-Series
boards over time, care should be taken to prevent
prolonged exposure.
• Periodically move, or remove, furniture, door mats, planters
and other accessories to avoid differential weathering.
• PVC glues, cement, paint, etc. may damage and discolor the
surface of the profile.
• A bristled brush, can be used to remove rust, or similar, stains.
• For particularly stubborn stains, the surface can be gently
sanded. This naturally removes material from the protective
cap and should be avoided as it may affect the surface
of the board�
