A Guide to Cleaning Your Conservatory

At Abbey Conservatories, we supply and install a bespoke range of conservatories for homeowners in Reading, Calcot, Blackwater, and the surrounding areas. Conservatories are a popular living space because they offer stunning views and plenty of natural light. So it is pretty much a given that it will accumulate dirt over time. You might be wondering what the best ways are to clean your conservatory to make it look its best. Take a look at some of these tips to help you.

Cleaning Products and Tools

Before you begin cleaning your conservatory, it’s important to gather all the necessary tools and supplies. You will need a bucket, warm water, a mild detergent or glass cleaner, a soft sponge or cloth, or a squeegee and microfibre cloth for drying. Having everything ready before you start will make the cleaning process smoother and more efficient.

Polish the Conservatory Glass 

Polishing the conservatory glass could help preserve the outstanding views and leave your conservatory sparkling for longer. To do this, clean the outside window panes with a cloth and soapy water first so you can see how much dirt you have removed. To clean the inside, spray the cleaning solution with a microfibre cloth or a squeegee. If you decide to use a squeegee, wipe off the liquid in a figure of eight movements from top to bottom. To finish it off, wipe the glass with a tea towel. 

If your conservatory has self cleaning glass, you can benefit from its innovative features. At Abbey Conservatories, we offer Conservaglass, which comes with self cleaning coating technology.  It is most effective when exposed to sunlight as its cleaning properties are activated by UV rays. However, it is essential to wipe it down with a cloth to get rid of tough stains. 

Don’t Neglect the Frames and Sills

While cleaning the glass is important, it is important not to neglect the interior. Take the time to wipe down the window frames and window sills as these areas can collect dirt, dust, and grime over time, so it’s essential to give them a thorough cleaning to create a welcoming atmopshere. Use a soft sponge or cloth and the same warm water and detergent solution to clean the frames and sills. Be gentle to avoid scratching or damaging the surfaces. Rinse with clean water and dry with a cloth.

Clean The Gutters

Another way of keeping your conservatory in pristine condition is by cleaning your gutter. Weeds and debris can cause blockages in your gutter, which can stop it from functioning properly. A clean gutter can help ensure your conservatory is aesthetically pleasing. 

It is important to maintain your conservatory regularly so the dirt and grime don’t build up.  Remove any fallen leaves, twigs, or other debris from the roof and gutters. Wipe down the glass panels, frames, and sills with a damp cloth to remove any dust or dirt. 

 Regular Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance of your conservatory is essential for preserving its aesthetics and functionality. Keeping it well looked after will help prevent dirt from building up, resulting in a space that you can be proud of. Keeping the key areas such as gutters free from debris, will help protect you from significantly bigger issues in the future.
