At Beulah Products, we are committed to manufacturing high-quality Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) and Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) panels in Nigeria. Our WPC wall panels are highly valued for their durability, aesthetic appeal, and minimal maintenance needs. To ensure your panels remain in top condition and have a long lifespan, follow our comprehensive maintenance guide.
1. Regular Cleaning
Dust and Dirt Removal
- Frequency: Weekly
- Method: Use a soft broom or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust and dirt from the surface and grooves of the panels. This prevents accumulation that can lead to staining or scratching.
Washing
- Frequency: Monthly
- Method: Mix mild detergent with water and use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the panels. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that can scratch the surface. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.
2. Stain Removal
Common Stains (e.g., food, drink, mud)
- Solution: Create a paste using baking soda and water, and apply it to the stained area. Let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a soft brush. Rinse with water.
Tough Stains (e.g., grease, oil)
- Solution: Use a degreasing agent or a specialized WPC cleaner. Apply the cleaner as per the manufacturer’s instructions, scrub gently, and rinse thoroughly.
3. Preventing and Handling Scratches
Prevention
- Tip: Place felt pads under furniture legs and avoid dragging heavy objects across the panels. Regularly check for any sharp objects that may cause scratches.
Handling Minor Scratches
- Solution: For minor scratches, use a color-matched WPC repair kit. Follow the kit instructions to fill in and blend the scratches seamlessly with the rest of the panel.
4. Mold and Mildew Control
Prevention
- Tip: Ensure proper ventilation in areas where panels are installed to prevent moisture buildup. Regularly check for any signs of mold or mildew, especially in humid environments.
Removal
- Solution: Mix white vinegar with water in a 1:1 ratio. Spray the solution onto the affected area and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Scrub with a soft brush and rinse thoroughly with water.
5. Seasonal Maintenance
Spring and Fall
- Tip: Conduct a thorough inspection of the panels for any signs of damage or wear. Pay attention to areas exposed to harsh weather conditions.
Winter Preparation
- Tip: For exterior panels, ensure that any gaps or cracks are sealed to prevent moisture penetration and potential damage from freezing temperatures.
6. General Tips
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, ammonia, or other harsh chemicals that can damage the panels.
- Protect from UV Rays: For exterior panels, consider applying a UV-protective coating to prevent fading and discoloration from prolonged sun exposure.
- Prompt Action: Address spills and stains immediately to prevent permanent damage.
