Deceuninck recommends the following regular cleaning procedure, as required:
1. Remove lime and mortar splashes!
 |
|
Avoid lime and mortar splashes on the profile, glazing and fittings. Both the profile and the glazing could be damaged and fittings jammed as a result of solidified mortar residue.
|
2. Ventilate rooms several times a day!
|
|
|
An inflow of colder air lowers the relative humidity in the room and creates a healthier room climate. Preferably ventilate the living area several times a day, as a relative humidity of over 60 % can lead to mould growth.
|
3. Do not use caustic fluids
|
|
|
For normal cleaning of the frame surface use a solution of mild dishwashing liquid. Do not use scouring agent, paint thinner or . For stubborn dirt always use special cleaning agents that can be obtained from the window supplier or from a window specialist.
|
4. Regular cleaning on the outside!
|
|
Clean the outside of your windows regularly. Pollen, tar or ferrous particles may be burned in by the sun’s rays. Once a layer has deposited it is not easy to remove.
|
5. Lubricate fittings!
|
|
Lubricate the fittings at least once a year to ensure ease of movement at all times.
|
6. Tighten handles!
|
|
Always tighten loose window handles. You can find the screws by lifting the cap under the handle and turning it out of the vertical into a horizontal position.
|
7. Care for the seals!
|
|
Rub the seals in the frame twice a year with sealing agent e.g. talcum, deer tallow or silicon oil (from specialists), to keep them soft and in good working order. Damaged seals have to be replaced.
|
8. Clean drainage openings!
|
|
Check the drainage openings in the frame profiles every now and again. Cleanliness is important for satisfactory drainage.
|
9. Constant cleaning of the folds!
|
|
To avoid deposits and mold you should regulary check the window aperture folds and remove dirt if necessary.
