Replacement windows are a great investment for your home, but they require regular cleaning and maintenance to keep them looking their best and functioning properly. Here are some tips on how to properly clean and care for your new replacement windows:
Before you start cleaning your windows, gather the following supplies:
Start by cleaning the window frames. Use a soft cloth or sponge dampened with warm water and mild dish soap to wipe down the frames. Be sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. Rinse the frames with clean water and dry them with a soft cloth.
Next, clean the glass. Use a soft cloth or sponge dampened with warm water and mild dish soap to wipe down the glass. Be sure to get into all the corners and edges. Rinse the glass with clean water and dry it with a squeegee.
Are Replacement Windows Easy To Clean?
The tracks are the channels that the windows slide in and out of. They can collect dirt and debris over time, which can make it difficult to open and close the windows. To clean the tracks, use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove any loose dirt and debris. Then, use a damp cloth to wipe down the tracks. Dry the tracks with a soft cloth.
The moving parts of your windows, such as the hinges and locks, should be lubricated regularly to keep them functioning properly. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the moving parts and work it in with a soft cloth.
While you are cleaning your windows, take the time to inspect them for any damage. Look for cracks, chips, or other damage to the glass or frames. If you find any damage, contact a window repair professional to have it repaired.
In addition to regular cleaning, your replacement windows should be serviced by a professional window technician at least once a year. A technician can inspect the windows for any problems and make any necessary repairs.
