VBH , the hardware specialist behind the greenteQ brand , has introduced two new products to expand its aftercare range .
The greenteQ Cleaning and Care Kit contains the basic products that are required to keep windows and doors in pristine decorative and working condition .
Supplied in a sturdy recyclable box , the kit includes a non-abrasive cleaner and cloth that provide streak-free cleaning of PVCu , aluminium and painted timber frames . The cleaner is PH-neutral , so can also be used to clean window and door furniture without damaging the decorative finish .
There is a bottle of fitting oil to lubricate the moving parts of the hardware , although VBH are at pains to point out that this should not be used to lubricate profile cylinders . Also included is a seal care solution to keep the gaskets soft and flexible to provide perfect weather sealing and closing action long into the future and , finally , the kit contains user instructions .
VBH has also recently introduced its greenteQ Dry Lube , which has been specially formulated for the internal workings of all profile cylinders and other locks , including padlocks .
VBH advise that the ‘ Lube ’ penetrates deep into the cylinder to clean , lubricate , and protect , by breaking down deposits deep inside the lock to ensure ‘ perfect operation ’.
‘
it is important to use the correct products
’
Dry Lube displaces moisture and can
free up rusted and frozen locks . Once applied , it forms a barrier that protects against the formation of dirt , dust and rust deposits that can cause stiff operation and , on occasion , jammed cylinders .
Dan Powell , Head of Brand at VBH says , “ Even the best windows , doors and hardware will not operate at their optimum forever , without proper care and maintenance .
“ Some consumers still labour under the misapprehension that windows and doors are maintenance-free , while others try to do the right thing but with the wrong cleaner or lubricant . Getting that wrong will always do more damage than good .
“ We at VBH want to ensure the end user understands why they should maintain their frames , furniture and locks , and why it is important to use the correct products . We now inform those homeowners who have registered for any of our direct guarantees about the ‘ hows and whys ’ of maintenance , and which products to use .”
