The Dutch language has the term aluminium kozijnen as the equivalent of what we call aluminium frames. These are used in a variety of construction projects. They are known for being quite durable, though they still need to be maintained, of course.
The metal used in these frames is widely regarded to be among the most attractive for general machining purposes. It is also very durable, unlike wood. This renders it hardy as a building material indeed.
This does not translate to it never needing maintenance, naturally. It is easily achieved, fortunately. All the items necessary are available at your local grocery.
The plainest solution is one made of normal household detergent. Just add a quarter of a cup of detergent to a bucket of water and you can begin. Stir the mixture and you can get on with the cleaning.
It is possible to use a sprayer to get the cleaning liquid onto the kozijnen. A nice damp piece of fabric may be used too. Just about any fabric will do, just as long as it is not some tough abrading cloth.
After you have finished lathering them, you should start rinsing. Fill up the pail you used with plain H20. Use that to rinse the frames of the detergent fluid you applied to the frames first.
After the detergent fluid has been washed off entirely, you can move on to drying your frames. You can use another rag for this as long as you do it with suitably firm (but not forceful) swipes. It may help to move the cloth in waving motions or small figure eights instead of just doing it in a linear motion.
On occasion, one might require a stronger cleaner to get rid of bad staining. If it so happens that the detergent and water blend is not enough, one can mix up a better and stronger cleaning fluid. Your cleaning supplies should still be able to handle this new brew.
For example, household ammonia can actually be a fairly good solvent to add to water for cleaning purposes. Mix it with water and you can produce a pretty good solution for most stains. You may want to try WD40 as well.
While the kosten aluminium kozijnen or cost of aluminium frames is admittedly not so high that you should cry if anything happens to yours, you should still dedicate time to cleaning and thus preserving the investment in them. They are a vital part of your house, after all. The handsomer they look, the prouder you can be of showing off your home to others.
