Pvc tarpaulins are a good investment and they help protect your items; therefore, it is only natural to provide maintenance to keep them in good condition. First, it is important to understand the properties of PVC tarpaulin.
Here is the content list:
l The Importance of Cleaning Tarps
l Steps to clean PVC tarpaulin
The core of pvc tarpaulin is a polyester fabric with a PVC coating on the outside; this property makes the tarpaulin water-resistant, UV-resistant, mildew-resistant, and fire-resistant while making it flexible and easy to handle. Therefore, it is important to note that due to their chemical composition, cleaning them with abrasive substances may damage them.
Regular cleaning of the tarp will extend its life and help prevent the build-up of environmental pollutants such as dirt and animal waste, as well as the development of mold and other substances that can cause the tarp to age prematurely.
Preventative maintenance is essential to preserve pvc tarpaulin as it slows down the degradation process and extends its optimal life.
1. Spread the PVC tarpaulin on a flat and clean surface and sprinkle water on it.
It's important to lay the tarp down on a clean, flat surface and remove any rocks or objects that could damage it. After the tarp is unrolled, spray water on it to remove any dirt or debris and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
2. Hand clean the tarp with soft fibers without damaging the plastic film
If you find some spots that won't come off with water, take a soft cloth and dab the spot until it comes off, during this step you can clean the tarp with a mild soap that doesn't contain any abrasives. Keep the tarp away from any type of thinner or solvent.
3. Dry the material with fibers when cleaning
To avoid damaging the material, it is important to wipe off excess water and not to allow the water to sit for too long or it will affect the durability of the tarp.
4. Where dirt has accumulated, apply more pressure to remove the stain thoroughly
When removing very strong asphalt or oil stains, use a water-based biodegradable degreaser or aliphatic solvent to avoid damaging the PVC tarpaulin's surface and reducing its finish. Never use solvents (acetone, thinner, white spirit) as this can damage the plastic film where the polyester reinforcement is exposed and accelerate its degradation process; also avoid brushes and metal fibers.
