How to clean an aluminium table?

Cleaning an aluminium table requires a careful approach, particularly when it is exposed to outdoor conditions and regular use. Dirt and deposits can build up over time, affecting appearance. We recommend removing dirt regularly using a suitable cleaner specifically developed for garden furniture. This helps maintain the surface and prevents stubborn build-up. Always check the manufacturer's care instructions beforehand.

HG solutions for cleaning an aluminium table

For thorough cleaning, we offer the following solution with tips on polishing aluminium, developed for use on garden furniture and similar surfaces:

• HG garden furniture cleaner: This powerful cleaner is suitable for aluminium and all types of garden furniture. Spray the product directly onto the surface and allow it to work for one to two minutes. Wipe away dirt with a cloth or kitchen paper.

Using a product specifically developed for this purpose ensures effective cleaning without unnecessary stress to the material. Always follow manufacturer guidelines.

Solutions for cleaning an aluminium table

If you prefer to use household methods, these can be used with care:

• Warm water with washing-up liquid used with a soft cloth, followed by rinsing.
• Lemon juice applied carefully for light deposits, then wiped away.
• A solution of water and white vinegar applied and removed with a damp cloth.

These methods are less targeted and may not always deliver consistent results. Acids must be used carefully to avoid damaging the surface. Always test first on a small, inconspicuous area and follow the manufacturer's care instructions.

Causes of a soiled aluminium table

Aluminium tables can become soiled due to:

• Weather exposure: Dirt accumulation from outdoor conditions.
• Grease and food residue: Causes staining.
• Oxidation: Leads to dull patches.
• Incorrect cleaning: Harsh products can damage the surface.

Regular cleaning and protection help maintain the table's appearance. Using mild products and protecting the table when not in use helps limit these types of soiling. Here too: always check the manufacturer's care instructions before you start cleaning your aluminium table.
