Window Care and Maintenance

To clean your aluminium window frames, simply use warm water, a mild detergent and scrub the surface with a soft bristled brush. Once clean, use clean water to wash off any excess soap. Avoid using a hard-wire brush or abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surface of the aluminium.

To clean your window glass, simply spray a glass cleaner generously over the surface area, then scrub with a clean, lint free towel or cloth. Wipe the surface with another dry, lint free cloth or towel, stopping when it’s almost dry and a consistent damp film is left on the glass. Leave this to evaporate and your glass will dry without streak marks.

 
Viridian Glass recommends cleaning with one of the following products:
 

• Windex Multi-Surface Cleaner; or
• A mixture of one part vinegar and ten parts water

 
To clean off any spots from your glass, apply a small amount of solvent such as Acetone to the glass. Rub using a clean, wet cloth until the spot has disappeared. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when using a solvent.
