Tips to properly clean your security doors
Maintaining and cleaning your security doors and windows is essential to keep them in tip-top shape.
Why do you need to clean your security door?
Think of your security door or window as a giant filter. Air flows freely through the mesh trapping bugs, dirt and salt spray outside. Cleaning your security screens regularly removes the gunk to keep your screens looking pristine.
How often should you clean your security windows?
Different areas have different weather conditions so depending on where you live in Victoria dictates how often you may need to clean your security doors and windows. If you live in a rural area along the Bellarine Peninsula, you may want to clean your security doors and windows every three to six months to remove the dust. If you live in Melbourne or Geelong, we suggest cleaning your door every six months or every three months if you are on a busy road.
On the flip side, if you live in one of our beautiful coastal towns like Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, Jan Juc or Torquay, you will be familiar with the harsh effects of salt air. If you are in a coastal town, you will want to clean your security screens every month to maintain them for years to come.
