It’s that time of year again when cleaning the house is on the minds of many homeowners. Windows are essential to our homes and should not be forgotten during this annual ritual. Renowned local window contractor Renewal by Andersen® lists the best ways to get spotless windows during spring.
Before cleaning your windows, you need to gather your supplies. You will need the following:
Before you start cleaning, prepare the room. Vacuum or sweep away dust and debris that may accumulate over time, and wipe down surfaces with a damp cloth if necessary. Remove any moist items around the window area, which can lead to mildew growth on the frames and sills.
Wipe down the inside of your window using a sponge or brush and warm, soapy water mix. This will remove any dirt, dust, and grime that builds up over time. Finish off with a squeegee for streak-free results before wiping it with a damp rag or newspaper.
Wipe down the window sill using a damp cloth and warm, soapy water mix. Rinse with a low-pressure hose nozzle to remove any soap residue before it dries. Finish off with vinegar-diluted water and a lint-free rag to protect the paint on your windowsills.
Start spraying off the outside of your windows using a hose with a low-pressure nozzle. Finish up by wiping down with glass cleaner and a newspaper or lint-free cloth.
If necessary, replace existing window treatments with new ones. This will give your home a fresh, crisp look and ensure you get the most insulation benefits from them.
If you spotted some problems with your windows, they might be due for a replacement. Have experts from Renewal by Andersen inspect your windows and provide their recommendations.
