\"Tips-for-Spring-Window-Cleaning-and-Care\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

With another winter now (hopefully) behind us, Minnesotans are slowly coming out of hibernation. You\u2019ve probably already started jotting down your seasonal to-dos<\/a>. While checking your home\u2019s windows for any winter damage, give them a good cleanse, too. Ensure they\u2019re ready to shine in the summer sun with these tips for spring window cleaning and care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Framework<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The glass is probably the most widely recognized element of a window because that\u2019s the part we look through. But the framework that holds the glass in place is just as important and deserves attention as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a soft rag or brush and a mild soap and water mix, wipe down every part of the window framing. That can include the trim, sash, jambs, and sills. Also, wipe down the casings and any ledges on the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have wooden framing around your windows, take note of the wood\u2019s condition. Is it flaking or peeling? Is it jagged and rough? You may need to scrape or sand the surface and then repaint or stain it. But this kind of TLC will keep your windows looking great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the windows are older or you notice extensive wear and tear, you may want to upgrade to sturdier, more energy efficient windows<\/a>. The Twin Cities home exteriors professionals<\/a> at Spotless & Seamless<\/a> can answer any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To ensure optimal function, be sure to complete some spring window cleaning of the fixtures and accessories. Vacuum the track to remove any dirt, debris particles, or even little bug bodies that may have collected over winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rinse off or wipe down hinges, rollers, and locks and allow each piece to fully dry. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to any moving parts to keep them functional and make for easier window operation. If you notice any missing or broken components, talk to a trained window expert<\/a> for replacement parts or window replacement<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Glass<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your home\u2019s windows have likely been sealed up since fall. And maybe you\u2019ve noticed a build-up of gunk or film on the glass over the past few months. Give the glass panes a thorough wash, inside and out to get rid of that winter grime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose your preferred cleaning solution, whether that\u2019s a store-bought cleaner, soap and water, or a homemade solvent<\/a>. Then go to town, using your favorite method of streak-free cleaning. Maybe that means using a microfiber cloth, sponge and squeegee, or yesterday\u2019s newspaper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your windows are shiny and clean, you\u2019ll feel a sense of accomplishment and be all set for the sunny season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
