How to Clean VERSAWRAP Column Wraps
No Mold or Mildew!
The wonderful material of post covers and sleeves is tough and resistant enough to hold up versus blistery winter days, the warm thaw of spring, and the local pests of your region. PVC column and post wraps such as those by VERSATEX will not support mold and mildew growth.
Dust Occassionally
Maintain a fresh, clean look for your PVC column and post wraps by briefly dusting your post sleeves, trim, and molding from time to time. Use a clean microfiber rag or feather duster to brush over your outdoor space to remove and light dirt, pollen, or debris.
Use Standard Household Cleaners
If your PVC deck product gets dirty after a flood or major rainstorm, clean PVC column wraps with products like Soft Scrub® with Bleach, Spic and Span®, Clorox® Regular Bleach, Clorox® Outdoor Bleach Cleaner, or Corte Clean.
Get Rid of Grass Stains and Scuff Marks
Foyer, entryway, deck, and hallway millwork encounters marks not as easily removed due to guests, children, and pets. Most vinyl and PVC manufacturers recommend using the commonly found Mr. Clean Magic Erasers® or a similar cleaning product. These cleaning pads are great scrubbers that do not mar or scratch the surface of your post and column sleeves.
Tough, Stuck-On Stains?
Use a handheld nylon brush for stubborn stains or to get dirt out of the cells and rivets of the PVC columns. Use the standard 320 grit sand paper to reduce cell size on cut edges of wrap pieces.
