RECOMMENDED CLEAN-
ING PRACTICES
Please find below Mosaic Construction’s
recommendations on cleaning practices. For
more extensive details on a variety of finishes
and appliances in your apartment, please
refer to your property warranty manuals.
Glass
It is recommended that windows and glass are cleaned monthly
using a window cleaner (such as Windex) or mixture of one-part
vinegar with ten parts water.
Monthly cleaning is recommended.
Window, door frames, security screen frames, gates
and balustrading (aluminium and metals)
To preserve the powder coated or anodised finish on your
aluminium windows and doors, security screen frames, metal
door frames, gates and balustrading, regular cleaning is
required.
Cleaning is recommended by using warm water and soap or
detergent. Keep water free from dirt and grit and ensure that
the weep slots in the window and door tracks are clear to allow
maximum drainage.
Do not under any circumstances use an abrasive cleaning
agent as this will severely damage the surface of the material.
Thoroughly rinse off any detergent with clean water. Hosing
must be avoided under all circumstances. Dry - preferably with a
chamois, alternatively with a soft cloth.
The cleaning of the product should be performed at a time that
will allow the aluminium to dry quickly, preferably early in the
morning.
Quarterly cleaning is recommended.
Hardware, hangers, pivots, brackets, internal workings
of locks, handles and catches
Light spray of a corrosion preventative (such as CRC Marine
66, Innox or WD40) followed by a light wipe with a dry cloth to
remove excess. Exposed surfaces should first be wiped down
with warm soapy water and a soft rag, and then rinsed clean
before applying preventative.
Visible surfaces of hinges should be wiped down with warm
soapy water on a soft rag and then rinsed off by wiping with a
clean damp rag. Be careful not to get these compounds on the
timberwork itself as they may cause staining.
The external finish of all hardware must be kept clean by
removing any harmful residue, especially salt spray, from the
surface using a nonabrasive cleaning agent and wiped down with
a soft cloth moistened with WD40 or RP7.
When maintaining either internal or external hardware, ensure that
all finished surfaces (e.g. timber, aluminium etc.) in close proximity
are well protected from exposure to any cleaning or lubricating
agents. All tracks and sills must be kept clear of dirt, debris and
other matter which can cause damage to, and restrict the proper
functioning of rollers, guides and dropbolts.
Quarterly cleaning is recommended.
Security Screens
The surfaces of the screens should be washed down with warm
water in conjunction with a ‘soft’ cleaner such as dishwashing
liquid. Fibre brushes may be used to loosen dirt and grime, but
no abrasives such as sandpaper or emery paper must not be
used.
It is essential to finish off the cleaning by thorough rinsing all
washed surfaces with clean water.
Quarterly cleaning is recommended.

Blinds
It is recommended that blinds are maintained by vacuuming with
a soft brush.
Quarterly cleaning is recommended.
Tiles
To maintain the surface of internal tiles with regular cleaning
we would recommend sweeping or vacuuming, then washing
the surface with normal cleaning agents. Rinse the surface
thoroughly with clean rinse water afterwards, changing the water
regularly, i.e. every 10m² or more if the water is extremely dirty.
Cleaning tools, i.e. mop heads and brushes, should be changed
regularly and allowed to dry between uses.
To maintain the surface of external tiles (slip resistant tiles) it is
recommended that scrubbing equipment such as a non-metallic
scrubbing brush be used in conjunction with a mild detergent
and a thorough rinse with clean water.
Weekly cleaning is recommended.
Grout & Joint Cleaning
All internal corners, tiling edges, grout lines and movement
joints from time to time will require some extra attention to
ensure no build-up of contaminates occur. These areas may
require specific cleaners and scourers to return them to their
original appearance. Mould or discolouration is the result of lack
of removal of soap, shampoo and other contaminates left in
corners to dry and build up. If this occurs, scouring and scraping
of these items will be necessary.
Fortnightly cleaning is recommended.
General Tapware & Fittings
Cleaning is recommended using warm soapy water (a mild
detergent) and a clean damp cloth.
Weekly cleaning is recommended.
Stone Benchtops
For everyday routine cleaning of stone benchtops, we
recommend wiping the surface with warm soapy water (a
mild detergent) and a clean damp cloth. Do not use the cloth
you use to wash the dishes, as it may transfer oils and other
contaminants to the stone surface.
Cleaning is recommended after every use.
Dishwasher
Clean external surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth and PH-
neutral detergent as required. It is recommended that the filters
and spray arms are cleaned thoroughly under running water,
using a non-metallic brush.
Monthly cleaning is recommended.
Ovens/Steam Ovens
In order to keep your oven in the best possible condition, it is
recommended that you clean it regularly after letting it cool down.
Do not allow food residues to dry inside the oven cavity because
doing so could damage the enamel.
The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean.
Use absorbent kitchen roll.
In case of stubborn dirt, wash with a damp sponge and an
ordinary detergent.
Internal surfaces should be cleaned using a microfibre cloth
soaked in water and neutral washing up liquid. Rinse thoroughly.
Cleaning is recommended after every use.
Microwave
Outer surfaces should be cleaned with a neutral detergent,
lukewarm water and a damp cloth.
Internal surfaces are recommended to be cleaned after every use
with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
Cleaning is recommended after every use.
Stove Top
Remove light marks with a damp cloth with washing up liquid
diluted in a little water. Then rinse with cold water and dry the
surface thoroughly. Highly corrosive or abrasive detergents and
cleaning equipment likely to cause scratches must be absolutely
avoided.
Cleaning is recommended after every use.
Rangehood
The rangehood and its filter mesh should be cleaned regularly in
order to keep in good working order.
Filters are recommended to be soaked in warm water with a mild
detergent and cleaned with a soft brush.
To protect the main body from corrosion over a long period of
time, the rangehood should be cleaned with hot water plus soap
or non-corrosive detergent once a week. Do not use grinding
detergent, or it will damage the body.
Weekly cleaning is recommended.
Non-Mosaic provided appliances
(Kettles, toasters, etc)
It is recommended that all household appliances such as kettles
and toasters are cleaned regularly using a neutral detergent,
lukewarm water and a damp cloth.
Monthly cleaning is recommended.

RECOMMENDED CLEAN-
ING PRACTICES
Refrigerators
Stainless steel exterior doors and exterior components of
the refrigerator are recommended to be cleaned with liquid
dishwashing detergent dissolved in warm water and a soft lint-free
cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a clean, lint free cloth.
Interior surfaces should be cleaned once every 1-2 weeks by using
only liquid dishwashing detergent dissolved in warm water and
a soft lint-free cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a clean,
lint-fee cloth.
Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine, bleach,
concentrated detergents, solvents or abrasive scouring pads
on any part of your refrigerator. SOME of these chemicals may
dissolve, damage and/or discolour the interior of your refrigerator.
Weekly to fortnightly cleaning is recommended.
Washing Machine
Machine hosing and control panels should be wiped with a soft,
damp cloth.
The machine drum should be cleaned with chlorine-free cleaning
agents, do not use steel wool.
Monthly cleaning is recommended.
Dryers
It is recommended to clean the control panel and outer surfaces
of the dryer using a soft damp cloth to wipe all surfaces, then wipe
dry. If the drum has any residual dirt or lint stuck to it, remove this
and wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
It is important to clean the lint filter after every load, as the lint
produced in the drying process can become a fire hazard if it
accumulates in or around your dryer.
Cleaning is recommended after every use.
Air conditioners (split systems)
The front panel should be cleaned every 2 weeks using a soft cloth
soaked in water.
Air filters should be vacuumed, or dust cleaned from filters every 2
weeks. If the dust does not remove easily, wash the air filters with
neutral detergent thinned with lukewarm water, then dry them in
the shade.
Air purifying filters are to be cleaned using a vacuum or cloth every
6 months, they should also be replaced every 3 years. If the dust
does not remove easily, wash the air filters with neutral detergent
thinned with lukewarm water, then dry them up in the shade.
Indoor units, outdoor units and remote controllers should be wiped
with a soft cloth every 2 weeks.
In certain operating conditions, the inside of the air conditioner may
get foul after several seasons of use, resulting in poor performance.
It is recommended to have periodical maintenance by a
specialist. For specialist maintenance, please contact the dealer
where you bought the air conditioner. The maintenance cost
must be borne by the user.
External light ttings
External light fittings may be cleaned using a mild detergent such
as dishwashing liquid, a soft cloth and warm water. Do not use
abrasive detergents, scrubbing tools or harsh chemicals
Quarterly cleaning is recommended.
Internal light ttings and fans
It is recommended to remove excess dust, cobwebs or other
matter, using a soft dry brush every two weeks. Clean regularly
using a neutral detergent, lukewarm water and a damp cloth.
Quarterly cleaning is recommended.
Timber Flooring
It is recommended that you have floor protectors on the base
of all furniture located/used on the floorboards. These can be
purchased from most supermarkets and all hardware stores.
Cleaning is best done with an anti-static mop for surface dirt and
dust and a well rung out mop that is damp and not wet. Using
excessive amounts of water can cause damage to the boards
which may then require replacement. Do not use corrosive
cleaning chemicals, steel wool, or polish. Always use a soft
broom or recommended timber floor broom. Do not leave pot
plants sitting on timber floors. Plant stands and appropriate
saucers should be used.
Weekly cleaning is recommended.
Drains
Never tip oil/fat down your drain as this can cause a build-up of
grease and leads to blockages. Drain cleaning products such as
Draino are recommended to be used quarterly (3 months) in all
frequently used areas (kitchen sink, bathroom basin and shower
drains) – this will assist in keeping the drains clear of hair, soap
scum and grease build up.
Quarterly cleaning is recommended.
