- You can use warm soapy water to clean the interior of your carport columns. Ammonia and hot water treatment works great as well.
- After thoroughly cleaning the columns, apply wax to restore their original shine as well as to provide them further protection.
- Make sure you keep the roof neat and clean as well. Periodically removing excess debris from the roof will not only ensure that the structure remains in good condition, this will also gives you a peace of mind that the roof is free from any unfamiliar objects.
