The importance of regular cleaning of exterior joinery

Back to overview
dirty-window-before-cleaning

Windows, doors, patio covers, sun blinds, etc. are permanently exposed to varying weather conditions and environmental factors. Rain, UV radiation, air pollution, organic deposits and fine dust cause gradual surface degradation. Over time, this not only leads to a visually worn-out appearance, but also causes damage to coatings, loss of shine and a shorter overall service life.

A thorough (semi-)annual cleaning such as our Deep Clean process is essential to tackle this weathering, but regular, periodic cleaning is just as important for lasting results. This forms the basis for long-term protection and the preservation of the functional and aesthetic properties of the joinery.

Durable maintenance requires professional products

Novatio has developed two user-friendly products that are tailored to the periodic cleaning and protection of doors and windows: Shamp-Wax and Surface Renewer. They combine efficient performance with high-quality formulas and are suitable for use on aluminium, PVC, paintwork and powder coatings.

IMPORTANT

Never clean in direct sunlight or when the surface is warm.

Cleaning with Novacare Shamp-Wax

Shamp-Wax is a concentrated cleaning shampoo with a high content of carnauba wax. It safely removes surface dirt such as dust, atmospheric precipitation, insect marks and light organic dirt. At the same time, it applies a fine protective layer that temporarily protects the surface from new dirt and makes it water-repellent.

The wax layer also helps to reduce static attraction of dust and provides a subtle shine. This keeps the joinery cleaner for longer and makes the next cleaning easier.

Prevent permanent damage

To prevent weathering, it is important to carry out a thorough cleaning twice a year in addition to regular cleaning.
