If chasing your dream can be difficult, preserving it can be even more difficult!
This is particularly true when discussing the longevity of material products like aluminium.
Though most of us have probably never given a moment of thought to aluminium preservation, it’s something that should not be overlooked, particularly if you have aluminium windows.
In this article, we will discuss how to clean your aluminium windows and doors in order to keep them functioning in an efficient and effective manner. First and foremost, start by REGULARLY clearing any dirt and debris from the sliding tracks and surrounding frame. Use clean water and mild products solvents like Kitten Glo-Wash.
NEVER consider using any abrasive chemicals on your aluminium. NOTE regular maintenance is the key. In fact, a damp sponge will get the job done more often than not. If you do use any chemical products, be SURE to rinse any residual product off of the aluminium and dry the frame with a soft, dry cloth or a chamois.
REGULAR cleaning is equally important for both powder-coated and anodised products. The Gold Cost is a wonderful place to live, it’s not the ideal environment for keeping aluminium products pristine. Dirt, grime, salt and moisture subject your aluminium windows to an absolute battering.
Maintenance isn’t just about cleaning; it’s also about consistent hardware management. Examine your frames every three to six months, particularly if the frames are near a pool or the coast. Use a light-spray lubricant like Inox to keep catches, latches and locks functioning fluidly. Don’t view it as boring! It’s an important step in assuring the long-lifespan of your aluminium windows and doors.
Now, if you have UPVC or timber windows and doors, the regime and products to clean them are different, but the requirement to keep them in tip top condition is no different.
