It’s a new year and it’s a great time to get rid of old home maintenance habits and improve for the better. Fortunately, you can start simple by learning some new window maintenance habits. After all, your windows are one of the most important and prominent parts of your home. Not only do they allow natural light and fresh air in, but they also keep our home energy-efficient and comfortable. Renewal by Andersen® of Atlanta, one of the top home improvement companies in the area, shares some of these good habits with you.
Many homeowners would consider window cleaning a difficult task, especially for windows on the upper floor. Fortunately, you don’t need a ladder to clean your upper floor windows. Try to see if your windows can be swung inward so that you can reach and clean the pane on the outside. If not, you can purchase special equipment to clean the outside of your windows from within your home.
Your expert on windows would tell you that it’s important to get rid of hard water stains. It’s likely for your windows to get hard water stains if your tap water has high mineral content. Fortunately, they can be easily cleaned, even with homemade solutions. You can simply create this solution by mixing half a cup of water with vinegar, and apply it on your windows while wiping it thoroughly.
Before you apply a cleaning solution to your windows, try to dust off or vacuum debris and dust from your window sills, since it’s very common for objects to accumulate in this spot. Once you’re done doing so, we recommend covering them up with a soft towel to protect it from dripping liquids.
