To ensure your family’s safety through the changing seasons, it’s crucial to properly maintain and take care of your home. By properly preparing your windows just in time for fall, you can avoid more serious issues down the road.
1. Keep It Mold-Free
Too much moisture inside can cause mold to grow on your windows. It’s important to safely clean them right away. Mold is not only damaging to your windows, but it is also a health hazard that can trigger allergies in you and your family. You should always make sure to keep your windows and interior free from mold. To avoid mold growth, improve your home ventilation and wipe away moisture once you notice them on your windows.
2. Don’t Ignore Small Damages
Your windows should always be functional and efficient. Windows are supposed to close tightly, open without resistance and help with insulation in your home. Faulty handles, hinges and locks can cause more irreparable damage, so make sure to properly keep your windows in shape. If your windows are no longer sufficient, contact your trusted window contractor for repair or replacement.
3. Clean Your Windows Properly
It’s best to use effective cleaning supplies that are suitable for your windows. Some cleaning agents and materials can be quite harsh and damaging. They can compromise your window’s seal or tint the glasses. Your technique in cleaning is also important; do not rub too much to avoid scratches.
