Tips to Keep Your Windows in Good Condition

Windows bring a bit of the outdoors into our home. They allow for fresh air to be brought into your home. Air circulation keeps your home cool, prevents it from becoming stuffy, and allows in natural light. Proper window care is essential in making your windows last. They take a bit of a beating, being on the outside of your home. Taking care and addressing issues swiftly saves both your wallet and your time. 

Cleaning and Care 

Cleaning your window panes regularly with a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the glass is an easy way to keep them in good condition. Wipe down the wooden frames with a damp cloth to prevent mold or mildew buildup. If you have vinyl or aluminum frames, a mild detergent and a brush work well. Dusting off any dirt or debris accumulated on the window tracks prevents buildup and maintains smooth usage of the window.

Maintenance and Repairs 

Periodically checking your windows for any signs of damage is a great way to stay ahead of any issues that may arise. Being on the lookout for cracks, chips, or broken seals can help you out in the long run and prevent them from getting worse. If you notice any gaps or cracks in your window frames, this means unwanted air and moisture are entering your home. This requires caulking to seal and weatherproof the affected areas. Inspect your windows for any areas where the weather stripping has been worn down or cracked. This is used to prevent drafts when it's broken, your window is susceptible to letting in air.
