Keeping your Solatube skylight clean is quick and easy, helping it look its best while allowing you to enjoy beautiful natural daylight for years to come.

In the video below, our Otago licensee, Julius Keepa, demonstrates how to safely clean your Solatube.

 

 

Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide

1. Remove the diffuser
Turn the diffuser counter-clockwise until it releases from the system.

2. Clean the diffuser
Wipe it with a microfibre cloth using clean water, or mild soap and water if needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

3. Clean the inside of the Solatube (if required)
Gently remove the Natural Effects Lens by pulling down on the tab. This allows you to carefully clean the inside of the system.

4. Reinstall the Natural Effects Lens
Once everything is clean, reinsert the Natural Effects Lens with the tab facing down, ensuring it is fully sealed.

5. Reattach the diffuser
Align the notches on the diffuser with those on the system, push the diffuser flush with the system, then turn it clockwise until it is securely locked into place.

Regular cleaning helps keep your Solatube performing and looking its best, so you can continue enjoying beautiful natural daylight throughout your home for years to come.
