- ACRYLIC DOCRIL AWNING FABRICS
- When used in permanent outdoor situations Docril should be hosed regularly to remove dust, bird droppings and other solid particles.
- Water based stains should be treated first by rinsing in cold water. If this is not sufficient, Docril may be washed with a mild solution of soap in lukewarm water and rinsed thoroughly.
- Stubborn soiling may require treatment with a hypochlorite bleach which can be found in your local supermarket. The fabric should be washed with a solution of one part bleach in four parts of warm water. Apply the diluted solution to the fabric with a soft brush and rinse off thoroughly after 15 minutes. Follow the safety directions outlined on the bleach container.
- It is important to ensure that your Docril awning or blind is not rolled up when wet. Outdoor furniture and cushions should also be dried out.
- GENERAL CANVAS PRODUCTS
- To obtain the maximum life from outdoor products incorporating Bradmill canvas, the following points should be noted:
-
- Keep the fabric clean by brushing regularly, both inside and outside, with a soft brush and by hosing occasionally with clear, cold water – starting at the lower edge of the fabric and working upwards
-
- Do not apply soaps, detergents, cleaning fluids or insecticides
-
- Keep petrol, solvents, kerosene and other similar fluids away from the fabric
-
- Do not allow bird droppings, earth, sand or vegetable matter to remain in contact with the fabric
-
- Ensure that the canvas is thoroughly dry before putting away
-
- Should mildew spots appear, brush them off before they become attached
-
- Persistent mould or mildew growth should be treated with White King solution, strictly in accordance with the instructions outlined on the following page
-
- Canvas that has been cleaned extensively may require reproofing
- USE OF WHITE KING AS A MILDEW REMOVER
- White King is a bleaching and cleansing agent, which is effective in removing mildew growth on canvas and killing mildew spores.
- SAFETY
- Read the safety directions on the White King label and follow these directions carefully. Wear rubber gloves and avoid contact with skin and eyes.
- PREPARATION
- Read all directions thoroughly before commencing.
- As some tenting fabrics are not colourfast, an inconspicuous section of the tent should be tested with the solution before proceeding. Bradmill tenting fabrics are colourfast to this treatment.
- The treatment is best performed outdoors, and best results together with easier application are achieved when the canvas is in a taut position – tents, annexes etc. should be fully erected. Where this is not possible, spread on a clean surface.
- APPLICATION
-
- White King should be diluted with water, 1 part of White King to 3 parts of water. It should not be mixed with other chemicals or cleaners
-
- Apply this solution evenly to the outside at a rate that will penetrate the fabric, working the solution into the canvas with a stiff brush or broom
-
- Hose the solution off thoroughly after 15 minutes, continuing to hose down until run-off is clear
-
- Do not allow the solution to remain on the canvas for more than 20 minutes without thoroughly rinsing or damage may occur
-
- White King solution is not a re-proofing agent, but acts as a pre-treatment to remove mildew and spores
-
- After completely drying, the canvas is pre-treated and ready for an application of Bradmill Duradux Mildew and Water Proofing Compound
- WORKING QUALITIES
-
- Properly applied, White King solution will remove mildew and kill spores
-
- Care must be taken that the solution does not come in contact with anything other than the canvas being treated. Any splashes or spills should be thoroughly washed off immediately with water
-
- The solution will yellow lawns, however this will grow out
-
- White King solution will remove mildew, but not obstinate stains. It is designed as a pre-treatment to Duradux Proofing Compound, which should not be applied until fabric is completely dry
- As Sunwise Blinds and Awnings Pty Ltd have no control over the condition of fabric to be treated, or the method by which the solution is applied and removed, no responsibility for fabric failure or other consequence of the treatment can be accepted.
- CLEAN UP
- Wash applicators with clean water.
- COVERAGE
- 5 litres of White King solution will treat approximately 10 square metres of canvas, once.
