When it comes to doors and windows, people often focus more on style selection and purchasing methods, but easily overlook a key aspect — the cleaning and maintenance of doors and windows. To maintain the good performance of doors and windows and extend their service life, scientific maintenance is essential. Next, let's unlock the practical maintenance tips for doors and windows together with Lingyin Group!

As the core main body and supporting structure of doors and windows, the frame and sash include key parts such as the frame body, screen sash, and grooves. Their maintenance directly affects the overall performance of doors and windows. Special attention should be paid during cleaning: do not use strong acid-alkaline cleaners such as ordinary soap, laundry detergent, detergent powder, and toilet bowl cleaner. Such cleaning products will corrode the surface of the profiles, causing the profiles to fade and dim, become brittle, and even rust. It is recommended to use a clean, damp, and soft towel for wiping first. If encountering stubborn dirt, special cleaning agents for doors and windows can be selected. At the same time, timely clean up foreign objects such as dust and sand in the grooves of the frame and sash with a soft brush to ensure smooth opening and closing of the sash and maintain the airtightness of the doors and windows.

Hardware accessories are the "joints" of doors and windows and are high-frequency use components that are prone to malfunctions due to wear and tear, requiring regular targeted maintenance. Daily inspection of hardware accessories for looseness should be carried out regularly, and timely tightening should be done. Regularly clean the surface dust with a soft brush to avoid impurity accumulation affecting use. At the same time, regularly apply lubricating oil to the hardware components to maintain their flexible operation and effectively reduce wear and tear.

Keeping the glass of doors and windows clean not only provides a broader view but also enhances the transparency of the space and improves living comfort. When cleaning the glass, mild glass cleaners paired with soft cloths can be used. Avoid scratching with hard tools to prevent scratches on the glass surface, which will affect the appearance and use safety.

① When using heating equipment such as electric heaters in autumn and winter, maintain a safe distance between the equipment and the doors and windows to avoid damage to the surface coating of the doors and windows due to high-temperature baking, which may cause profile deformation or fading.② Do not push, pull, or close doors and windows forcefully during daily use. If opening or closing is not smooth, do not operate forcibly. Instead, first investigate the cause of the malfunction — improper operation by personnel or loose fasteners are the main factors leading to this problem. Timely handling can avoid further damage to the components.③ Do not hang overweight items on doors and windows. Long-term high-load bearing will cause loosening of the door and window structure. At the same time, avoid hanging sharp objects to prevent scratching the surface of the doors and windows, which will affect the appearance and airtightness.④ Adhesive strips and glass sealant are the key lines of defense for the airtightness, thermal insulation, and waterproofing of broken-bridge aluminum doors and windows. Daily attention should be paid to their condition. If detachment, aging, or cracking occurs, timely repair or replacement should be carried out to avoid affecting the core performance of the doors and windows.
