Cleaning Aluminum Parabolic Louvers
and Alzak Reflectors

Before cleaning, gently dust to remove scratch-inducing particulate matter. To clean, choose one of the following methods:

1. Rub gently with a clean, dry lint-free cloth (cheesecloth is excellent). This often works on "normal" stains, such as spots or greasy fingerprints.
2. Dampen a clean, dry, lint-free cloth with Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Rub gently on louver. Louver or reflector will streak as alcohol is applied, but streaks disappear as alcohol evaporates.
3. Use an aluminum reflector cleaner.  


Use of gloves is recommended when handling to prevent fingerprint marks. Some people have a high acidity in their perspiration, causing fingerprints to etch into anodized aluminum material. There is no method to remove fingerprints of this type.

Note: Do not use these methods on polystyrene or acrylic paracube louvers.
