Are the Accordion Shutters on your Fort Myers FL home or business sticky? In other words are your hurricane shutters difficult to open? Accordion shutters may become difficult to move over time. Like most things that move on a track this is completely normal. Properly cleaning and lubricating your accordion shutters will help them move smoother and easier and reduce your frustration. But the question is what lubricant should be used on your accordion hurricane shutters? See below for the answer.
The best lubricant for accordion shutters is a silicone based lubricant. Avoid any oily, petroleum based spray as this will make it worse as it collects and builds up dirt over time. Using a dry silicone based lubricant spray can help the shutters move easier and reduce this dirt buildup.
