Aluminum alloy doors and windows have become a common choice for modern homes due to their high strength, corrosion resistance, and resistance to deformation. To maintain their beauty and good performance for a long time, daily cleaning and maintenance are essential. This guide helps you easily get it done!

Core maintenance points:

1. Regular cleaning is key:

Surface cleaning: Use a soft dry cloth or sponge to wipe away dust. For ordinary stains, a neutral detergent (such as diluted detergent water) can be used to wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid using strong acids, alkalis (such as toilet cleaner or cleaning powder) or abrasives to prevent corrosion or scratching of the surface. After cleaning, be sure to wipe it clean with clean water to avoid detergent residue.

Track cleaning: Door and window tracks are a high-risk area for dirt accumulation, directly affecting the smoothness of switches. Regularly use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and sand particles from the track. Stubborn dirt can be brushed with a small brush (such as an old toothbrush) dipped in neutral detergent, then wiped clean with a damp cloth, and finally dried with a dry cloth to prevent rust or scaling. Keeping the track dry is very important.

2. Care for hardware accessories:

Hinges, hinges, locks, pulleys: These are the "joints" that allow doors and windows to move. Regularly check its fastening condition and tighten the screws promptly if there is any looseness. Every six months or so, drip a small amount of lubricating oil (such as sewing machine oil, WD-40) into moving parts (such as hinge shafts, lock cores, pulley grooves) to maintain smooth opening and closing and reduce wear. Avoid using viscous oils (such as butter) as they can easily get dusty.

Handle: Daily cleaning of surface stains is sufficient, avoiding gravity impact or hanging heavy objects.

3. Maintenance of sealing strips:

Check whether the sealing strips around the doors and windows are intact, elastic, without cracking or detachment. The aging of sealing strips is the main cause of air and rain leakage, as well as a decrease in sound insulation and thermal insulation effect in doors and windows.

When cleaning, use a soft cloth dipped in water or neutral detergent to wipe, do not pull hard.

If aging, hardening, or damage is found, professional personnel should be contacted promptly for replacement.

4. Avoid external damage:

When opening and closing doors and windows, use moderate force to avoid pushing and pulling forcefully.

When cleaning doors and windows at heights, be careful not to step on the window frame or use excessive force to prevent deformation.

Check whether the doors and windows are securely locked before severe weather such as typhoons.

Action tip: Track cleaning and surface dust removal should be carried out once a month, hardware and sealing strips should be inspected once a quarter, and moving parts should be lubricated once every six months. Careful maintenance ensures that your aluminum alloy doors and windows will last as long as new!
