Care & Cleaning
Routine Cleaning
✓ Use warm water and a mild household dish soap.
✓ Lightly scrub using a soft-bristle brush.
✓ Rinse loose debris first with a standard garden hose.
✓ Avoid abrasive pads, scouring tools, or harsh cleaning agents.
✓ No specialized cleaners or equipment are required for routine maintenance.
Spot Cleaning
✓ Dirt & Debris: Rinse with a hose, scrub with warm soapy water and a soft brush.
✓ Mineral Deposits (Hard Water Stains): Mix equal parts white vinegar and water. Spray or apply with a soft cloth. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes for stubborn deposits, then wipe clean.
✓ Oil, Grease, and Food Stains: Clean spills as soon as possible, ideally within 7 days. Rinse with a hose, then clean with warm, soapy water and gently scrub with a soft brush to remove any residue.
✓ Mold & Mildew: Prevent buildup by removing pollen, dirt, and organic material regularly. Clean with mild soapy water and a soft bristle brush to remove any growth.
General Maintenance and Periodic Inspection
✓ Perform annual inspections of exterior surfaces for potential damage.
✓ Check for any surface wear, scratches, or mechanical damage.
✓ In cases of heavier wear or surface damage, the affected area may be lightly sanded and refinished using the base primer and color coating layer.
✓ Surfaces exposed to standing water or moisture accumulation should be properly sealed using Novano-approved coating systems.
✓ Refinishing is primarily recommended for aesthetic reasons, not structural performance.
✓ Always use only Novano-approved primer and coating products. These authorized surface treatments ensure full compatibility with Novano materials.
Care Maintenance in High-Exposure Areas
✓ Areas exposed to frequent water spray, such as roof overhangs, façade edges, or drainage zones, may benefit from additional sealing using the Novano-approved color coat system. This added protection helps reduce localized staining and surface buildup over time.
✓ These high-exposure surfaces should be sealed or periodically recoated using the Novano-approved color coat system to maintain optimal appearance and protection.
Safety Instructions & Environmental Considerations
✓ Do not burn Novano products. Combustion may release harmful gases.
✓ Always store products flat, fully covered, and in dry, ventilated conditions prior to installation.
✓ Avoid strong acidic, chlorinated, bleach-based, or solvent cleaners.
✓ Novano products are fully recyclable and environmentally responsible at end-of-life.
✓ Do not use high-pressure washers directly on Novano surfaces.
