How do I clean the trunking?

Troubleshooting

Trunking cover will not stay closed.

Ensure cables are not overfilling the trunking. Check that the cover is correctly aligned and seated. Make sure there are no obstructions preventing a secure fit.

Difficulty cutting the trunking cleanly.

Use a fine-toothed saw and a steady cutting motion. Consider using a mitre box for precise angle cuts. Ensure the trunking is securely held while cutting.

Visible wear or discoloration.

Clean gently with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, a mild plastic cleaner might be suitable, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Insufficient cable capacity.

Evaluate the number and size of cables being installed. If exceeding capacity, consider using multiple runs of trunking or a larger profile trunking solution.
