These instructions must be followed if aluminium joinery is to meet any quality or performance assurance.
Regular cleaning is essential if the finish of anodised aluminium is to be preserved over a long period. Cleaning the anodised aluminium should be washed down with warm water and a suitable wetting agent or mild soap solution, in a similar manner to washing a car.
