Cleaning Your Windows at Home Safely and Efficiently

One way to keep your windows – energy-efficient windows especially – structurally sound and functioning well for a long period of time is by maintaining their cleanliness. Here are a few ways you can do just that, from Renewal by Andersen of Memphis.

Choose the Right Time of Day

Clean your windows on good weather days but pick a time when it isn’t too hot out either. Apart from the discomfort of being out doing window cleaning at noon, for instance, you’ll risk damaging your windows when you do so. The cleaning products you use may dry much faster than you can wipe them off, causing streaks to appear on your window glass afterwards.

Use Window-Friendly Materials

Reputable window installation companies will warn you against using abrasive cleaning tools and solutions, with good reason. All you really need to keep your windows clean is a mild detergent and water solution. You can add a bit of vinegar too if you prefer that.

Clean the Tracks Too

If you have gliding windows from Renewal by Andersen of Memphis, keep them operating smoothly at all times by preventing dirt buildup from obstructing panel movements. Clear tracks  gently and avoid pushing dirt further in.

Avoid Using Too Much Water

More water is not always better when it comes to cleaning your windows. Excessive moisture on or around your windows can lead to serious problems, including warped frames and mold growth. Control the amount of water you use and dry your windows as best as you can afterwards.

"The men who came out were able to work with each other good and professional showing us how the job would start and how long it would take. While they were doing their job they saw that the windows sills were off balance and very diligent and made it repairable to place the new windows in they cleaned up the area where they were working and made it look like no one had been there. They were very polite."

"Renewal by Anderson replaced our windows about a week ago. It made our home look brand new! Absolutely beautiful product!!! All the staff were kind and professional. Jackie and his crew did the installation and we have never had such a professional job done on our home! Highly recommend this company!"

"I have purchased 16 Anderson windows and they are great. The windows are perfect but the installation was the best. It is a joy having these windows in my 1910 home."
