To clean aluminum surfaces effectively, use a mild detergent and warm water. Mix a few drops of dish soap with water in a bucket. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the solution and gently wipe the aluminum surface. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch the surface. After cleaning, rinse with water and dry thoroughly to prevent water spots. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for aluminum. Regular cleaning will help maintain the surface's appearance and prevent corrosion.
