Use and Care Manual

CLEANING YOUR SKYLIGHT
Follow these steps to get your skylight clean!
• We recommend not cleaning your skylight
during the hottest part of the day as the
glass will dry too quickly causing streaks.
• Begin by soaking the glass with a water and
soap solution to loosen dirt and debris.
• Next, use a mild, non-abrasive glass
cleaner along with a soft brush or other
non-abrasive applicator to clean the glass,
top to bottom.
• Any remaining cleaning solution should be
removed with a squeegee or lint free cloth.
Interior Care
and Cleaning
Most VELUX skylights have a white,
pre-painted wood frame or use maintenance-
free, ABS plastic for the frame and sash.
These surfaces are easy to clean with just
a damp cloth. If you experience tougher dirt,
however, VELUX recommends using a mild,
soapy water solution.
CLEANING YOUR SKYLIGHT
If needing to clean the interior glass of
the skylight, opt for a mild, non-abrasive
glass cleaner and dry with a lint free cloth.
Remember, cleaning your skylight is best done
during a cooler part of the day, to ensure glass
cleaner solution will not dry too quickly and
cause streaking.
• Be gentle. Remember to use care not to scrape
the glass with any potential metal parts of
cleaning equipment or drag abrasive materials
across the glass surface.
• Do not use metal scrapers, blades or knives for
cleaning large areas of glass as these tools can
easily scratch and cause permanent damage to
the skylight glass and are not covered under
VELUX warranty.
• For hard to remove spots (like tree sap, label
adhesive, paint or other construction material)
a new 1” razor blade may need to be used for
small spots only.
Pro Tip: If a razor blade needs to be used, scrape only
in one direction, as back and forth scraping motions
can cause scratches and may damage the glass.
