General cleaning

Like all walls, movable walls are prone to picking up the odd spots of dirt or unwanted marks, especially if they’re in constant use or have a lot of foot traffic passing by each day.

To stay on top of your movable wall maintenance, general cleaning is an important step to keep them looking fresh and new.

Simply giving them a once-over with a damp cloth or hygiene wipe is often enough to get rid of nagging stains or spots, helping them uphold their original sheen.

If there are any serious stains, though, you may need to use something a little stronger. For tailored advice on more in-depth cleaning for movable walls, get in touch with an AEG Partitions expert.

Clear and lubricate the tracks

At AEG Partitions, our movable walls are top-hung, rather than using a floor track, reducing the chance of foreign objects becoming stuck.

Though they aren’t overly complicated systems, the tracks that uphold movable walls are intricate enough to the point that stray dust, dirt, and debris can become lodged in them when they’re open and exposed.

If left unattended, these elements could begin to cause issues in the movable walls’ operation, including blockages, snags, and resistance.

That’s why it’s always wise to look over your movable wall tracks every few weeks just to ensure there’s nothing outstanding that could cause a problem.

But even if they’re nothing glaringly obvious, it’s still a safe bet to run over the tracks with a cloth just in case there’s an issue you can’t see.

It’s also a smart move to lubricate the tracks, too, to help the wall panels glide seamlessly from side to side as directed.

WD-40 Lithium Grease (or similar) is a good option that should help keep your movable wall tracks responsive, for a far more pleasant opening and closing experience.

Stack the individual panels appropriately

To prevent the seams and tracks of movable walls from taking unnecessary damage or picking up any external elements, it’s always appropriate to keep the panels stacked neatly away when the wall isn’t in use.

By leaving the panels ajar and half-open-half-closed, you’re opening up the possibility of the panels being bumped or scraped, or getting unnecessarily dirty.
