SPRING CLEANING TIPS FOR YOUR WINDOWS

After that long, cold winter, spring is finally here, and it’s now time for our annual spring cleaning rituals! One component of our homes that definitely needs to be cleaned, checked, and repaired after that long winter season is the windows.

Our windows are susceptible to damage, as they are always exposed to the elements outside. During winters, the window frames and the panes may have endured a heavy beating, due to the combination of subzero temperatures and the constant falling of snow, sleet, or even hail.

Now that the winter’s over, you can finally take care of your windows by doing some quick cleaning. To help you with this task, Renewal by Andersen® of St. Louis, the leading contractor that offers quality St. Charles, Missouri, energy-efficient windows, came up with this simple guide to cleaning the glass surface of your window:

What you will need:

  • Some clean, dry cloth
  • Sponge
  • Cleaning solution
  • Squeegee

Step-by-step guide:

Start by wiping away loose dirt with a soft, dry cloth. Dip a clean cloth or sponge in mild, soapy water, a solution of white vinegar and water, or a liquid window cleaner. Wipe the glass surface in a circular motion. Once each pane of a window has been wiped clean, use a squeegee to wipe away the cleaning solution, making sure to always start from the top of each window pane to avoid streaks. Also, wipe the squeegee’s rubber edge with every stroke. Dry window sills with a clean, dry cloth or a lint-free cloth. Make sure to clean windows on cloudy but dry days.

After cleaning, you should check your windows for signs of any damage. If you notice cracks, abrasions, or any other issues, you will need the help of experts to get your windows fixed or even replaced.

"Very pleased with installation of six windows and a ProVia entry door. I love the look of the windows and door. I am pleased that my wife is thrilled with the look of the door. She is very pleased that the bronze color fits in well with the color of the brick."

"I just had my Renewal by Andersen windows installed and couldn’t be happier, the entire process went very smoothly. The windows are high quality and look great. But the installers Roy, Zack and Jordan were the stars, they introduced themselves upon arrival walked me thru everything they were going to do and when they finished took me to each window to make sure I was completely satisfied. They were clean and courteous and I would definitely recommend and have them work in my home again."

"Wonderful experience with knowledgeable, competent employees. We had Andersen windows in a previous house & didn’t even consider anything else this time. After replacing our patio door almost two years ago, we replaced all our windows this year. What a difference over builder-grade windows, especially in the really cold temperatures we’ve had this year. Andersen windows may be a little more expensive than other brands, but they are top quality."
