How should I clean the polycarbonate roofing?

Troubleshooting
Water leaks at the edges or joints.
Ensure sealing tape and breather tape are applied correctly and are intact. Check that profile bars are securely fitted and that fixings are tightened appropriately.
Polycarbonate sheets appear cloudy or discolored.
This may be due to UV damage if the protective film was removed prematurely or if the sheets are not UV-resistant. Contact customer support if the product is within the warranty period.
Difficulty cutting polycarbonate sheets cleanly.
Use a fine-toothed saw or a sharp utility knife designed for plastic. Ensure the protective film remains on the sheet during cutting to prevent scratches.
Profile bars do not fit securely.
Verify that you are using the correct profile bar for the intended location (cap, base, side, end) and that the underlying structure is aligned correctly.
