One of the easiest ways you can help keep your windows last for a long time is by cleaning them. Specifically, cleaning the outside parts such as the glazing and the frame. The cleaning process itself is pretty straightforward, but determining how often you should clean it presents a bit of a challenge.
In this post, your replacement window contractor at Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City shares tips to keep in mind when cleaning your windows.
To help you determine the best schedule for your regular window cleaning, take note of how dirt, grime, and debris accumulates on your windows. How often this happens depends on many factors, including weather and the relative levels of pollution in your location. Smog and smoke travel far, so even if you live a bit out of the way, the wind can still find your home.
Another way you can better know how much dirt your windows accumulate is by getting in touch with your local window installation company and have them inspect your windows. Renewal by Andersen of Rapid City offers just that as part of our greater window maintenance services.
How often you clean the windows also depends on the season. While spring is the time for a full house cleaning, fall and winter are the two seasons where you’ll need to clean your windows more often. Twigs, branches, and rotting leaves can be problematic during fall while snow accumulation should be dealt accordingly during winter.
The frames aren’t the only part of the windows that get dirty. You should also pay attention to the glass since it’s often the largest part of the window. The most common problem window glass encounters are stains and smudges, but these are easy to get rid of so long as you clean them as soon as possible.
