Never leave your windows unattended and open.
C A R E & M A I N T E N A N C E
It is recommended that cleaning should be carried out AT LEAST every three
months. Window frames should be cleaned using a damp cloth and warm soapy
water only.
Steel wool, strong acids, alkalis and abrasive cleaners should never be used.
Periodically, the glazing and framework should be checked for damage and
deterioration especially mastics and sealants. Generally a silicone-based seal is used
which should not be painted.
The hinges and tracking should be cleaned regularly to avoid a build-up of
sediment. Slight lubrication should be carried out when necessary with an acid free
oil. When painting in and around windows, care should be taken to ensure that no
paint covers the weather strip or the hardware.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR WINDOW CLEANING
Cleaning windows (internally and externally) within the apartment is the resident’s
responsibility and as per the Lease, should be carried out no less than every three
months. Most of your windows open fully to enable access for cleaning.
Where applicable the managing agent will arrange for the external windows and
those windows in communal areas to be cleaned periodically.
WINDOW OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS OR BREAKAGES
In the event of any problems, consult with the managing agent.
