Your windows are one of the most challenging home features to maintain. Although that’s the case, fortunately, it isn’t something that you cannot handle – as long as the right tips guide you. Today, your local window contractor shares great window maintenance habits you should practice in 2022.
1. Wash windows regularly. Washing your windows at least twice a year will help you make your windows neat, brighter and clearer. Experts note that routine cleaning helps ensure your windows stay easy to open and close while contributing to your property’s curb appeal.
2. Clean the outside from indoors. Cleaning the windows can sometimes be challenging – especially on your upper floors. Remember that it is okay not to climb your ladder for your safety to keep your windows sparkly clean. You can check to see if you can tilt your windows inward for easy cleaning.
3. Schedule your cleaning activity during a cloudy day. It is very often for windows and doors experts to recommend home cleaning during a sunny day as it’s easier to see debris and dust buildup. However, washing windows on a sunny day will cause the glass to dry faster, leading to streaks. Try to schedule your window cleaning on a cloudy day.
