4 Tips for Cleaning Aluminium
Aluminium is a low-maintenance material, which makes it a great choice for doors and windows. Still, regular cleaning and maintenance help keep your aluminium joinery looking great and lasting longer. Here are some tips to help you care for it properly:
Clean Thoroughly After Installation
Right after installation, give your aluminium a thorough cleaning to remove any chalk or cement residue that could damage the surface. Use a mild aluminium cleaner like Aliplast’s Periodi-Clean for this job. Once clean, protect the lacquer layer with Maxi-Gloss, which seals the surface with a safe, wax-like coating to prevent new dirt buildup. This initial care is key to preserving your aluminium’s finish.
Perform Regular Maintenance Cleaning
Between deep cleans, a simple routine is enough to keep your aluminium in top shape:
- Use Periodi-Clean to clean the glass panes.
- Wipe aluminium profiles gently with a chamois cloth.
- Rinse thoroughly with cold water to remove any cleaning residues.
Following these steps ensures your aluminium remains beautiful and well-protected over time.
Cleaning Aluminium: Annual Maintenance
Once a year, it’s best to give your aluminium a deeper clean to remove all the dirt that has built up over time. Use Aliplast’s Periodi-Clean for this thorough annual cleaning. Afterward, apply Maxi-Gloss to protect the paint layer, adding an extra barrier against dirt and grime.
If you live in rural areas, near industrial zones, by the coast, or in a city where pollution is higher, your aluminium may get dirty more quickly. In these cases, Aliplast recommends cleaning your aluminium more frequently to maintain its appearance and durability.

Remember, when cleaning aluminium, always use mild cleaning products—preferably those offered by your local Aliplast specialist—to ensure gentle yet effective care without damaging the surface.
