Maintenance and Care for Your New Replacement Windows

The proper maintenance and care of your new replacement windows are crucial steps in maintaining the function, the general level of operation, and the appearance of the products for many years to come. Maintenance and care of the products is not a difficult task.

However, the steps required does involve a commitment on your end. To ensure that you get the most from this guide, we are simply going to outline the steps required for each situation or product. Not all the information contained here will apply to you, but it will be outlined so that you may pick and pull from that which does apply to you. 

The Glass 

The glass is the main component of your new replacement windows and the easiest to maintain and care for. Simply use glass cleaner to remove accumulated debris and create the true sparkle of the material. You may dry the glass with a cloth that is lint-free, a chamois, a sponge, or even a rubber squeegee.

  • Note: If the sash and/or frame of the replacement windows are vinyl, you may use a mild dishwashing liquid in addition to standard glass cleaning products on the material. 

Window Frames 

The sash tracks and the sills of your new replacement windows should be kept clean and completely free of debris at all times. First, you may use a vacuum to remove certain substances.

Then, you may use a dishwashing agent that is mild and diluted within warm water to clean the rest. If you are not using the windows, keep them closed and locked to prevent the accumulation of dirt, dust, and other types of debris on the product. 

Screens 

If you have screens on your new replacement windows, they should be washed as needed. It is best to consult the manufacturing paperwork or the company who installed the screens for the directions on appropriately cleaning as some screens contain preservatives and other protective agents and some screens do not contain any. 

Area Around Window

Both the interior and exterior area surrounding your new replacement windows should be maintained and cared for as this area could have a direct impact on your windows and surrounding components. For example, if you have a rain gutter that requires repair near your window, it should be fixed to prevent moisture damage to your window.

If you find that the interior area surrounding your window is cracking or the paint is peeling, determine why and correct the issue. By maintaining and caring for this region surrounding your new replacement windows, you will lend to the lifespan of the windows.
