WINDOWS MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Although our vinyl windows require almost no maintenance, you can take a few simple steps to keep them looking their best. We’ve included a series of window cleaning tips as a guide.

How to Clean Your Windows:

Glass

When cleaning either side of the glass, you can use any standard glass cleaner or mild detergent. Take care when scrubbing around the frame and glazing to avoid damage. For best results, use paper towel or a soft cloth that is clean and free of lint or other potentially abrasive materials.

Cleaning glass in direct sunlight can cause the cleaner to dry too quickly and leave an unsightly residue, so you will achieve better results working in cloudy or shady conditions.

Vinyl

Our vinyl windows don’t require painting or touch-ups, but they will benefit from occasional cleaning with a mild cleansing agent such as warm soapy water. Avoid using abrasive materials or a high-pressure washer, which could cause damage to the vinyl surface. We also recommend avoiding harsh cleaning agents such as chlorine bleach, nail polish remover or furniture cleaner.

Screen

To clean your window screens, you can simply spray them down with a hose at low or medium water pressure. A mild soap and sponge or soft brush should allow you to remove any dirt or debris that has built up. When your screens are clean, be sure to rinse away the cleaning agent and wipe them down with a soft cloth or paper towel before reinstalling in the window.
