Why Window Maintenance Is Important
Your windows are designed to last, but without proper care, their efficiency and beauty fade. Regular upkeep protects your investment.
Cleaning New Windows the Right Way
- Glass: Use non-abrasive cleaners to avoid scratches.
- Frames: Wipe with mild soap and water to prevent buildup.
- Tracks: Vacuum dirt and debris to keep sliding smooth.
Inspect Seals and Weatherstripping
Check for peeling or cracking seals. Replace weatherstripping when needed to block drafts and save on energy bills.
Lubricate Moving Parts for Smooth Operation
Apply silicone-based lubricant to hinges, locks, and tracks once or twice a year. This prevents wear and tear.
Seasonal Window Maintenance Checklist for Chicago Homes
- Spring: Clean pollen and dirt buildup.
- Summer: Inspect screens for tears.
- Fall: Check for drafts before winter.
- Winter: Wipe condensation to prevent mold.
