On the long term, and after wiping, you will find dies on the wiping cloth used to wipe your gate. This depigmenting is natural. In order to delay this decaying of the dies, we advise that you regularly clean your gate using clean water with the addition of a soft detergent and since the installation of the gate (see our cleaning advises in our documentation, visit www.la-toulousaine.com)
