How to clean Parallel's aluminum products
The type and extent of cleaning required depend on the finish, dirt level, and the area needing attention. While dirt and grime will accumulate on exposed surfaces, regular cleaning with a mild method can help maintain the cleanliness of Parallel products.
There are various methods for cleaning aluminum, ranging from plain water to harsh abrasives. Always start with the mildest method possible when cleaning your Parallel aluminum products. The following cleaning materials and procedures are listed from least to most abrasive. Begin with plain water on a small area; if unsatisfactory, proceed to the next item on the list:
- Plain water
- Mild soap or detergent
- Solvent cleaning, e.g. kerosene, turpentine, white spirit
- Non-etching chemical cleaner
- Wax base polish cleaner

- Abrasive cleaner
After cleaning the affected areas with the appropriate cleaner, rinse the aluminum surfaces thoroughly and dry them to prevent streaking. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for any cleaning chemicals used.
Using abrasive cleaners or chemicals may alter the finish of Parallel aluminum products. To minimize this risk, always clean in the direction of any applicable grain. If abrasive or etching materials are necessary, consult cleaning specialists or the Parallel Architectural Products team.
