Windows are a significant yet often overlooked aspect of your home’s architecture. Whether you’ve recently upgraded to replacement windows or aim to extend the life of your current ones, this comprehensive guide will assist you. Follow these tips to ensure your windows not only look stunning but also function optimally for years to come.
Keeping Your Window Glass Clean:
- Start by generously applying store-bought glass cleaner or a mix of 10% vinegar and 90% water onto the glass surface.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners that might cause damage. Use denatured alcohol or warmed vinegar on a dry cloth to remove stubborn stains.
Day-to-Day Usage Guidelines:
- Gently open and close windows; avoid applying excessive force.
- Operate awning and casement windows from the inside using the provided operator handle.
Routine Maintenance:
- Wipe interior window frames regularly to eliminate dust and dirt, ensuring wooden frames are thoroughly dried.
- Use a vacuum brush attachment to clear sash tracks of dirt and debris.
- Lubricate tracks as required with silicone spray for smooth functionality.
Indoor Humidity Control:
- Control indoor humidity levels to prevent condensation by using exhaust vents and dehumidifiers as needed.
