Cleaning and maintenance
■ "Low maintenance" does not mean "No maintenance". For best results wash down the frames with warm soapy water when you wash your windows. ( Minimum 3 or 4 times a year - you would wash your car that often! ) ■ Don't forget to wash the handles at the same time to prevent corrosion. ■ To treat corroded sash handles, remove, soak in vinegar overnight. Scrub with an old toothbrush, they should come up good as new. ■ Never use abrasive cleaning products on toughened glass - they will scratch! We have heavy-duty glass cleaning products available to do the job safely. ■ Never polish titanium entry door handles - it will remove the protective coating
