Homeowner Yearend Window Maintenance Checklist

As a homeowner, you have to make sure your windows are in good condition before the year ends for the safety and comfort of your family. Doing so can also ensure the energy efficiency of your home in the years to come. Window maintenance is one of the important keys to preserve your home’s good shape.

Here is a maintenance checklist for your windows:

• Make sure your windows are always clean. Wipe them done using a soft damp cloth to help you remove all the dust and dirt without causing a scratch. If your windows are made of wood, don’t use too much water to avoid mold growth and to prevent wood from sagging.
• Inspect the windows for any gaps or cracks that may be allowing air or moisture to leak and get inside your home. If you do find any, re-seal these areas to ensure that heated or cooled air from can stay within the home to make sure the home stays energy-efficient.
• Re-painting can help avoid rotting or rusting for wood and metal windows. The paint protects the window from environmental factors like rain and snow.
• Repair or replace all the damage parts of your windows immediately.
