Maintenance & Cleaning FAQ | Bosni Windows and Doors

1. How do I clean different types of stains on window glass?

To keep your glass crystal clear, follow these specific treatments based on the type of residue:

• Oil Stains: Spray detergent directly onto the stain, cover with plastic wrap, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.

• Ink/Pen Marks: Dip an eraser in water and rub the marks repeatedly, then wipe with a damp cloth.

• Paint: Use a cotton ball soaked in turpentine or hot vinegar to gently rub away paint splatters.

• Stickers/Adhesives: Carefully scrape off the sticker with a blade first, then use nail polish remover (acetone) to wipe away any remaining residue.

• General Grime: For stubborn dirt, wipe the surface using a towel dipped in beer, toothpaste, or hot vinegar.

2. What is the best way to clean window tracks and grooves?

Tracks are notorious for collecting dust. Here are two effective methods:

• The Sponge Method: Take a scouring pad and mark the positions of the track ridges on it. Cut slits into the sponge at these marks so it fits perfectly into the grooves, allowing you to sweep out dust in one motion.

• The Brush Method: Use an old toothbrush or a small paint brush to loosen the dirt in the grooves, then wipe clean with a microfiber cloth.

3. How do I clean window screens without removing them?

Cleaning screens is simpler than it looks. You can use a standard lint roller; simply roll it back and forth across the screen mesh to lift away dust and debris.

4. How should I maintain the hardware (hinges, handles, etc.)?

For general maintenance, wipe hardware with a soft cloth to remove dust. For tight corners or "blind spots," use a small brush or a toothpick to gently clear out any accumulation.

5. How do I clean the gaps between the glass and the rubber seals?

To remove deep-seated dust in the crevices between the glass and rubber stripping, mix detergent with a small amount of starch. Apply the paste to the gaps, let it sit for 5 minutes, and then wipe it away.

6. How do I clean the aluminum profiles without damaging them?

To preserve the aesthetic and structural integrity of your aluminum frames, follow these precautions:

• Use: A soft cloth dampened with clean water or a neutral detergent.

• Avoid: Never use soap, washing powder, scouring powder, or harsh acidic/alkaline cleaners (like toilet cleaner). These can corrode the protective oxide film and surface coating of the profile.
