Title: aluminium/stainless steel
Post by: Rob_B on September 18, 2003, 07:55:49 pm
Hi all,

I'm really a window cleaner, but a nightclub who's windows I do have aluminium/s steel up the sides of the stairs, around the bars, and on some of the ceilings.

Now youngsters being what they are while out on the town have leant against it and chucked their drinks all over it and it looks a right mess.

They do their own in house cleaning, and when speaking to their handyman, he said he can't get it clean but he has only been using soapy water, and when its dry it is completely streaky and looks just as bad again.

Any ideas what would clean it up? I'm sure that if I could get it clean I could probably get it added on to my window cleaning contract.

All help appreciated

Thanks for you reply Terry,

Wouldn't wd40 mark peoples clothes if they leant on it?

I'll have a look at some kind of metal polish. I was just hoping someone else had come across this problem as this kind of decor is quite common, and knew of an quick and easy way to clean it.

Hi Rob

My old mate used fit and clean stainless steel signs he would always clean them using undiluted white vinegar they came up sparkling also club soda to remove streaks

Give it a try costs next to nothing.
Let me know if it works.
