Window And Door Maintenance Guide

It's recommended to clean your windows and doors at least twice a year, preferably in spring and fall. However, high-traffic or coastal areas may require more frequent cleaning.

While mild soap and water work well, specific window and glass cleaners are preferable. Avoid abrasive chemicals that can damage the glass or frames.

Clean windows on cloudy days to slow down the drying process. Use a squeegee and dry cloth to minimize streaking. Avoid washing in direct sunlight.

 Lubricate hinges and moving parts with a silicone-based lubricant. If issues persist, consult a professional for a thorough inspection.

Using pressurized tools may cause damage. Stick to gentle cleaning methods to preserve the integrity of your windows and doors.

Regularly inspect and clean window frames using a damp cloth. For wood frames, avoid alcohol-based cleaners. Fibrex® composite frames can be washed with mild soap and water.

Ideally, perform maintenance tasks in mild weather conditions. However, specific tasks like checking insulation are best done before extreme seasons.

For multi-pane windows, use a squeegee and work from top to bottom. Start with the topmost pane and move downward, ensuring each section is cleaned thoroughly.
