Do not use oil to lubricate squeaky hinges (or any nylon moving parts), instead use an aerosol furniture wax spray, which contains silicone.

Once a year clean and lightly oil visible moving metal parts, particularly door locks and 'friction stay' window hinges.

Never use washing-up liquid in the water for cleaning your windows - it attacks and degrades the seals.

Use a generous squirt of cream cleanser in warm water to spring-clean white PVC-U (no abrasives should be used on woodgrain).

Keep sliding patio door tracks brushed clean of mud, grit and dust. Do not lubricate the track.

Make sure there is a key in each room for undoing security-locking windows in the event of an emergency.
