Once you’ve invested in a new home window installation project, regularly caring for your replacement windows can be beneficial to the interior of your home. You will enjoy more natural light coming in, which in turn can boost productivity levels and increase your overall mood. Healthy windows can also improve your home’s energy efficiency, which, in turn, will lower the cost of your utility bills and provide you with a more stable temperature all year round.
Tips for Your Replacement Windows
When you replace your windows, you will want to do everything to keep them in good condition. Which means performing the right care routine throughout the year. Here are some of the best maintenance tips.
Clean Strategically
How and when you clean the windows does actually make a difference. While many people think that bright, sunny days are the best time to do this, it is, in fact, counterproductive. This is because the heat will dry the windows before you have time to wipe them down, which will result in streaks and unsightly water stains. For continuous home maintenance, clean your windows twice every year, in the spring and in the fall.
Use the Right Products
When you start cleaning your new replacement windows, you will notice it takes less work than cleaning your old ones. You can clean them using a mild solution of warm water and detergent and gently scrub the glass before you apply a cleaner. This helps to remove excess dirt or grime and reduce the chance of scratching or smudging. A mixture of vinegar and water helps to keep your glass clear and clean. A microfiber cloth should be used to dry the windows so as not to leave any unsightly streaks behind.
