A clean PVC strip curtain looks better, lets people see through it and lasts longer. Dust, oil and condensation slowly cloud the strips, and a cloudy curtain hides forklifts and people from each other. This guide shows how to clean PVC strip curtain strips safely, how often to check them and when it is time to replace a strip.
Good care is simple and cheap. A few minutes a month usually keeps a curtain clear and working for years.

You need a soft cloth or sponge, a bucket of lukewarm water with a mild detergent, clean water for rinsing and a dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild non-abrasive cleaner is enough. Keep rough pads, wire brushes and sharp scrapers away from the strips, because scratches trap dirt and make the PVC cloudy.
Wipe each strip from top to bottom with the soapy cloth, then rinse with clean water. Dry the strip with a dry cloth to avoid water marks and to stop dust sticking. Work along the curtain in order, so you do not miss any strips. For high curtains, use a stable platform and take care near forklift routes.
Do not use strong solvents, paint thinners or petrol on the strips. They can soften or crack PVC and cloud the surface. Do not use hot water or steam directly on polar strips in cold rooms, because the sudden change can stress the material. Keep sharp tools away from the strips.
In a clean warehouse, a monthly wipe is usually enough. In dusty factories, workshops or doors that face outdoors, clean every week or two. In food areas, include the curtain in the normal cleaning schedule, and record the cleaning for audits.
While you clean, check the rail and clamps for looseness, rust or damage. Tighten any loose fixings. A strip that is not held properly can fall, drag or tear. Make sure that nothing is blocking the swing of the strips.
Replace a strip when it is cracked, torn, badly yellowed, deformed or no longer springs back. Because each strip hangs separately, replacement is fast. Keep a few spare strips so that a damaged one can be changed at once, instead of leaving a gap in the curtain.
Polar strips in a freezer should be wiped gently and kept free of ice. For anti-static or tinted strips, avoid harsh cleaners that could affect the finish. See our guide to cold room strip curtains for more on low-temperature care.

Yes, a mild detergent in lukewarm water is fine. Avoid solvents and abrasive pads.
Dust, oil, scratches and age all cloud PVC. Regular cleaning slows the process, and worn strips can be replaced one by one.
It depends on traffic, temperature and cleaning. Busy forklift doors wear strips faster than quiet pedestrian doors.
