The ABC's of Aluminium Kozijnen Cleaning

If you do not know what aluminium kozijnen are, they are aluminium frames, just in another language. These are used in a variety of construction projects. They have become this popular for construction partly because of their resistance to corrosion and stress, but they nonetheless demand some attention too every now and then.

Aluminium itself is considered quite strong. It also possesses a strength that some other building materials don't. This renders it hardy as a building material indeed.

It still needs to be cleaned regularly for it to look its best, though. Luckily for you, this should be doable even for the least experienced homeowner. Your standard supplies closet should already have every item you shall use for it.

The most popular and highly recommended solution, according to the experts, is your standard dilution of household detergent. Get some tapwater and put it into a bucket, then add a quarter-cup of detergent. Mix the two ingredients until there is a bit of froth up top.

Most people prefer to spray on the solution to their aluminium kozijn, but not everyone has a spritzer. Alternatively, you can just use a cloth wet with the mixture to scrub the frames. Just about any fabric will do, just as long as it is not some tough abrading cloth.

Get rid of the detergent mixture after you have scrubbed all the frames. Replace the detergent fluid with plain water this time. Use the tapwater for rinsing.

You need to dry the frames after you have washed them. Do it with care and use a soft cloth that is not going to overly abrade the surface of the frames, or you might end up damaging the surface more: that would obviously defeat the purpose of this operation. Some people do it in circular motions to get out as much of the dirt as they can.

There may be times when this detergent mixture isn't going to be sufficient. If you have already tried a detergent and discovered that it still cannot remove the problem, you can try the more powerful solutions. These can be easily made with things you find at home.

A smart ingredient might be household ammonia. Try mixing it in about a 1:10 ratio, with water taking up the larger part, of course. And if that still does not work, you can actually rub out most stains with some WD40.

To protect the looks and durability of the frames on your terrasoverkapping or windows, you should maintain them properly. Maintaining the frames is just part of protecting your investment, you might say. The handsomer they look, the prouder you can be of showing off your home to others.
