Window care and maintenance are especially important during the fall and winter months, as this is when your windows endure their toughest test. Poorly sealed or damaged windows can lead to drafts, mold growth, high energy costs, and more. To avoid costly repairs, it’s important that you prepare for the cold weather and take the necessary steps to keep your windows in top shape.
1. Clean the Frame:
Cleaning your vinyl window frames is very simple. All you need is a sponge, clean towels, and a gentle cleaning solution such as dish soap and water. Dip the non-abrasive sponge or towel in the solution and wipe off any smudges and dirt on the frame. Once you have removed all the dirt from the frame, wipe it clean with a dry towel. Avoid abrasive soaps or acidic cleaners as they can cause permanent damage to the frame’s finish.
2. Clean the Glass:
Regular cleaning of your window will ensure clarity and outstanding performance. To begin, using mild dish soap and water, apply the solution to the glass by spraying or by using a non-abrasive sponge. Leave the paper towels behind so avoid streaks and lint on your window. Wipe the entire glass area clean with the sponge or towel and rinse completely with clean water, then wipe with a soft cloth to dry.
3. Inspect the Window:
Now that your windows are sparkling clean, you’ll be able to get a better look. Check to see if your windows are in top shape. Are they worn? Are the caulking and weatherstripping in working order? Have you noticed any drafts or leaks despite proper sealing? Is there broken glass or excess condensation? If so, it may be time to replace your windows with newer, more energy-efficient ones.
