Container House Maintenance Guide: Protecting the long-term renewal of your ideal home

For stubborn stains, prepare a slightly thicker detergent, and wipe it after a small area of testing to avoid damaging the wall coating.

These coatings can fill in the tiny gaps, block rainwater infiltration, and resist UV damage to the wall panels, giving the house a new look for years to come, especially in coastal and high-humidity areas.

In case of extreme weather such as strong winds and earthquakes, don't forget to conduct a comprehensive inspection, even if the damage is subtle, and repair it in time to prevent small problems from evolving into big hidden dangers.
