Please find below Mosaic Construction’s
recommendations on cleaning practices. For
more extensive details on a variety of finishes
and appliances in your apartment, please
refer to your property warranty manuals.
Glass
It is recommended that windows and glass are cleaned monthly
using a window cleaner (such as Windex) or mixture of one-part
vinegar with ten parts water.
Monthly cleaning is recommended.
Window, door frames, security screen frames, gates
and balustrading (aluminium and metals)
To preserve the powder coated or anodised finish on your
aluminium windows and doors, security screen frames, metal
door frames, gates and balustrading, regular cleaning is
required.
Cleaning is recommended by using warm water and soap or
detergent. Keep water free from dirt and grit and ensure that
the weep slots in the window and door tracks are clear to allow
maximum drainage.
Do not under any circumstances use an abrasive cleaning
agent as this will severely damage the surface of the material.
Thoroughly rinse off any detergent with clean water. Hosing
must be avoided under all circumstances. Dry - preferably with a
chamois, alternatively with a soft cloth.
The cleaning of the product should be performed at a time that
will allow the aluminium to dry quickly, preferably early in the
morning.
Quarterly cleaning is recommended.
Hardware, hangers, pivots, brackets, internal workings
of locks, handles and catches
Light spray of a corrosion preventative (such as CRC Marine
66, Innox or WD40) followed by a light wipe with a dry cloth to
remove excess. Exposed surfaces should first be wiped down
with warm soapy water and a soft rag, and then rinsed clean
before applying preventative.
Visible surfaces of hinges should be wiped down with warm
soapy water on a soft rag and then rinsed off by wiping with a
clean damp rag. Be careful not to get these compounds on the
timberwork itself as they may cause staining.
The external finish of all hardware must be kept clean by
removing any harmful residue, especially salt spray, from the
surface using a nonabrasive cleaning agent and wiped down with
a soft cloth moistened with WD40 or RP7.
When maintaining either internal or external hardware, ensure that
all finished surfaces (e.g. timber, aluminium etc.) in close proximity
are well protected from exposure to any cleaning or lubricating
agents. All tracks and sills must be kept clear of dirt, debris and
other matter which can cause damage to, and restrict the proper
functioning of rollers, guides and dropbolts.
Quarterly cleaning is recommended.
Security Screens
The surfaces of the screens should be washed down with warm
water in conjunction with a ‘soft’ cleaner such as dishwashing
liquid. Fibre brushes may be used to loosen dirt and grime, but
no abrasives such as sandpaper or emery paper must not be
used.
It is essential to finish off the cleaning by thorough rinsing all
washed surfaces with clean water.
Quarterly cleaning is recommended.
