How do I clean and maintain aluminum strips?

To clean and maintain aluminum strips, start by using a soft cloth or sponge with warm soapy water to gently remove dirt and grime. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately to prevent water spots. For stubborn stains, a mild detergent or a specialized aluminum cleaner can be used. Regularly inspect the strips for signs of corrosion or damage and address these promptly. Apply a protective coating if needed, especially in outdoor applications, to prevent oxidation. Keep aluminum strips away from harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures to maintain their integrity.
