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:

Gather Your Supplies

Before you start cleaning your windows, gather the following supplies:

  • A bucket of warm water
  • A mild dish soap
  • A soft cloth or sponge
  • A squeegee
  • A ladder (if needed)

Clean the Window Frames

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.

Clean the Glass

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?

Clean the Tracks

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.

Lubricate the Moving Parts

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.

Inspect the Windows for Damage

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.

Schedule Regular Maintenance

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. Our team at The Window Source of Memphis is your one stop shop for ensuring that your new replacement windows are in tip-top shape all year long.

By following these tips, you can keep your replacement windows looking their best and functioning properly for many years to come.

Sherry F.
The owner (Don) was very informative, professional and polite. It took the windows about 4 weeks to be delivered. Don called me and set an appointment. The installer did a good clean job. Don came by after installation and made sure we were happy with the work & the windows. We are very pleased with both and strongly recommend...

I shopped several window companies and The Window Source had the best price for quality windows. Don and his crew did a great job installing 12 windows plus a custom window in our entry. Don was very informative and after the job was done, he did a follow up with us. I was very pleased with his work and would recommend him to anyone.
Doug & Suzanne A.
just had all new windows installed by Window Source. We can already tell a big difference in energy savings!! They look great – curb appeal and view from inside is spectacular. Their top-of-the-line windows were more reasonably priced than the medium grade ‘big box’ store quotes. Don was professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work...
Rea G.
Well let me start by saying my window look amazing!! Don at window source came out and measured and talked all the options over with me . We made final decisions and they look amazing. The crew who put them in were on time and cleans up everything after they were done !! Looks like no one has been here !! Couldn’t be for satisfied with the prices or the service!!!

My dream came true with getting my new windows after being in my home for 23 years! The installation was completed the same day and very professionally! I am a very happy customer! Don was so patient with me being in a panic after dealing with another company that was dishonest in their estimate, but The Window Source was a wonderful choice..

We recently used Don and The Window Source of Memphis to replace 23 windows and 2 doors in our home and have been exceptionally pleased with both the process and results. At the time of our first meeting with Don, we had already met with several other contractors/salesmen and had quickly become disenchanted with the prices being offered...

We couldn't have had a better experience with Don and The Window Source of Memphis, and are pleased to confidently recommend his services. After gathering quotes and a plethora of information through meetings with Home Depot (for Simonton replacement windows), Krone, Pella, and Champion windows, we moved forward confidently and excitedly...
Ann P.
I love our new windows! I also love that I was able to sit down with Don and order the look that I wanted as well as the quality I desired for what I consider a truly fair price. The installation was done very professionally, 15 in one day, and the customer service has been wonderful even when we've been idiots. Am so glad I went with Window Source rather than...
Tommy W.
These guys did an amazing job on my house. We had 20 windows replaced and was amazed at how fast they did it. Very professional install crews, sales was very straight forward no gimmicks or high pressure tactics , and all at a fair price, and the windows look great. For a job that requires quite a bit of mess getting old windows out, these guys left no mess...
