New replacement windows may not need the amount of care as old ones but keeping them clean ensures that they will last as long as possible, so you don’t find yourself replacing them sooner than expected.
Follow these tips to clean your windows like a pro:
- Use a glass cleaner – For residential windows, it’s recommended to clean them twice a year. As you’re doing so, be aware of what chemical you’re putting on the glass. Harsh mixtures can corrode the material. Opting for a cleaner that is specifically made for glass can prevent damage.
- Don’t wash in direct sunlight – Cleaning your windows while the bright sun is shining may seem ideal for visibility, but doing so can enhance streaks left behind from the cleaner. The rays can cause the chemical to evaporate quickly, leaving behind marks and cloudy spots.
- Vacuum the track – Cleaning your windows is not just about the glass. The frame also needs to be upkept, including the tracks and sill. Gently vacuuming and wiping with a paper towel will pick up any debris blown in from outside.
- Incorporate non-abrasive materials – You’re probably aware that glass is a fragile material, making it important to use gentle products when cleaning. Stay away from hard bristled brushes and rough towels, as they can cause scratches.
