Ah, a new year is upon us. For many, it’s a chance to shed old home maintenance habits and adopt new ones, and what better place to start than with your lovely windows. After all, your windows are one of the most prominent features of your home. Not only do they let in plenty of air and sunlight, they also keep us safe from harsh weather conditions all while providing us with a good view. With that said, here are three excellent window maintenance tips and tricks from a trusted local window contractor.
Cleaning your windows can be a difficult task, especially if you’re working on windows on the upper levels of your home. Thankfully, you do not need to climb your ladder to keep your windows sparkly clean on both sides. Check to see if your windows can be tilted inward for easy cleaning. If not, you can invest in special equipment to clean the outside of your windows from the comfort of your own home.
Before you spray your windows with your favorite cleaning solution, take a minute or two to dust or vacuum your window sills as they are a common area for dust to build up. Once you’re done, most window companies recommend covering them with a soft towel to protect them from drips.
If the water from your tap has high mineral content, then you are likely dealing with hard water stains on your windows. Luckily, these pesky spots are easy enough to clean. Just mix a solution of half water and half vinegar, and give your windows a thorough wiping.
