4 Essential Tips for Cleaning Aluminium

Aluminium is naturally low-maintenance — one of the many reasons it’s an excellent investment for your doors and windows. Still, a little care goes a long way. Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your aluminium looking like new and ensure it lasts for decades.

After Installation: The First Clean

Once your aluminium joinery is installed, give it a thorough clean to remove any chalk, cement, or construction residue that could damage the surface.

  • Use Aliplast Periodi-Clean, a gentle aluminium cleaner.
  • Immediately protect the lacquer layer with Maxi-Gloss. This wax-like protective coating seals the surface, preventing new dirt from settling.

Periodic Maintenance: Quick and Simple

In between deep cleans, light maintenance will keep your aluminium fresh:

  • Clean glass panes with Periodi-Clean.
  • Wipe aluminium profiles using a soft chamois.
  • Rinse with clean, cold water to remove any cleaner residue.

Annual Deep Clean: For Lasting Protection

Once a year, take time to clean more thoroughly:

  • Wash aluminium profiles with Periodi-Clean to remove stubborn dirt.
  • Apply Maxi-Gloss afterward to enhance protection and maintain the paint layer’s brilliance.
Tip: If you live near the coast, in a city, or close to industrial areas, dirt may build up faster. In these environments, clean more frequently for best results.

Use the Right Products

Always stick to mild cleaning agents recommended by your Aliplast specialist. Harsh chemicals can damage the finish and shorten the lifespan of your aluminium joinery.
