Now that spring is here, it’s time to start your spring cleaning. One often-overlooked feature of your home that requires a bit of attention is your windows. After a long, chilly winter, it’s important that your windows are thoroughly inspected and cleaned so they’re ready to provide you with the comfort and performance you need throughout the cooling season. Here’s a look basic spring cleaning for windows.
Clean Your Windows
The most basic spring cleaning task for windows is making sure they’re clean from the outside. Ground-level windows can be easily cleaned by hand with some glass cleaner and a soft cloth. For windows that are higher up, you can carefully use a ladder, power washer, or the services of a professional window cleaner. Homeowners with double-hung windows can easily remove the sashes from the window frame to clean their windows from indoors.
Scrub Your Window Screens
Next, make sure you also thoroughly clean your window screens. Window screens can get clogged with dirt and debris over the winter. The quickest and most effective way to clean them is to remove them from the frame and spray them down with a hose or in the shower with warm water.
Vacuum and Wipe the Frame
Another part of your window unit that can get dirty is the inside of the frame. Clean out large particles and debris using a vacuum. Then wipe down the entire surface with a cloth and some cleaning solution to ensure smooth window operation.
Paint Your Window Exteriors
Finally, homeowners with wood window frames should do some touch-up work on the exteriors of their windows. This step can be skipped if you have aluminum-clad or vinyl windows, which are virtually maintenance free.
