How to Clean Your Vinyl Windows

So you decided to purchase and install vinyl windows at your home. This choice is beneficial to you because vinyl windows are affordable, low maintenance, easily installed, durable, and don’t require painting or staining. These windows are also cost effective since they can help you save on heating and cooling costs, an important feature in these economic times whether you’re in Atlanta, Suwanee, Marietta, Alpharetta, and throughout Georgia.

Although your vinyl windows are easily maintained thanks to frames that tilt and slide out for fast cleaning, they can also suffer scratches if they’re not properly cleaned. At U.S. Window Factory we want you to take good care of your investment, which is why we’re providing you with a few tips on how to effectively clean your vinyl windows.

• Start by unlocking your window and raising the bottom sash. Tilt the bottom sash towards you until it is flat.

• Take some dishwashing soap and mix a small amount with water. Dip a soft cloth into the solution and use it to clean your windows in a circular motion.

• Mix one tablespoon of oil soap with one gallon of water to remove water spots from your windows. Also use a soft cloth to absorb the solution and clean your windows in a circular motion.

• To remove mold or mildew that may have accumulated, create a mixture of 30 percent white vinegar and 70 percent water. This will not only help remove the mold and mildew, but also help prevent it from returning.

• Close your lower sash, and repeat the above steps on your top sash.

You can use a soft, creamy cleanser that has bleach to remove difficult stains such as grease, gum, or crayon marks. Be sure to never use paper towels to clean your vinyl windows because they can cause scratches and other damages to your investment.
