When you get replacement windows, especially high-quality ones like The Michigan Window<\/strong><\/a>, you want to make sure they stay in top condition for many years to come. The great news? Replacement windows require much less maintenance than older windows. Still, a few helpful tips can make a world of difference in keeping them looking \u2013 and working \u2013 their best. Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1: Pick the Right Time to Clean<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Timing is everything, even when it comes to cleaning your windows. Ideally, you\u2019ll want to avoid cleaning your windows in direct sunlight, since the heat can dry cleaning solutions too quickly, leaving behind streaks and spots. Instead, choose a cloudy day. This is why spring and fall are the ideal seasons for window cleaning \u2013 there are plenty of overcast days, plus the milder weather allows you to open your windows all the way so you can clean them thoroughly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2: Use the Proper Products<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the perks of having replacement windows installed is that they\u2019re much easier to clean than older ones. Still, picking the right cleaning products is important. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools \u2013 they can damage your window’s finish, cause scratches, and even lead to damage over time.<\/p>\n

When cleaning the glass, a simple mixture of vinegar and water, or a high-quality glass cleaner. Pair it with a microfiber cloth to dry your windows without streaks or lint, leaving them crystal clear.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3: Clean the Screens<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Window screens are your first line of defense against debris, so they deserve some TLC too. Start by removing the screens and placing them on a flat surface. Take a moment to inspect them for any damage that may have occurred recently, like rips or tears. Then, mix some mild soap with water and gently clean the screens using a soft brush. Be sure to rinse your screens thoroughly and allow them to dry completely before reinstalling them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4:<\/strong> Don\u2019t Forget the Frames<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Window frames don\u2019t usually get the attention they deserve, but they play a big role in keeping your windows functional, so make sure to include them in your cleaning routine. A combination of water and mild detergent is all you need. Gently clean the window frames using a soft cloth.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also want to clean your window\u2019s tracks to keep it opening and closing smoothly.\u00a0 Once again, use a non-abrasive cleaner \u2013 and a toothbrush works great for scrubbing away any dirt or grime that collects in the tracks.<\/p>\n
