Step-by-Step Cleaning Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cleaning Solution: Mix a few drops of dish soap in a bucket of warm water. Alternatively, you can opt for a window cleaning solution available commercially.

2. Wet the Windows: Using a soft cloth or sponge, soak the window with the cleaning solution. Start from the top of the window and work your way down, ensuring that the grime does not slide down to areas you have already cleaned.

3. Use the Squeegee: Begin at the top corner of the window and pull the squeegee horizontally across to the other side. After each stroke, wipe the blade with a clean cloth to prevent streaks.

4. Final Touches: Use a lint-free cloth or paper towels to wipe away any remaining moisture or streaks left on the edges of the window.

5. Don’t Forget the Frames: Dust the window frames and wipe them down using a damp cloth to give your windows a complete clean.

These are some useful tips from our 3D Windows team, but do remember, we aren’t cleaning professionals. There’s a range of fantastic local window cleaning businesses who can help you maintain your home aesthetic.

Check for Maintenance Issues

Regularly inspecting your windows is essential not just for cleanliness but also for functionality. Over time, wear and tear can take its toll, leading to issues such as drafts or leaking. Here’s what to look out for: 

Inspect Seals and Caulking: Check that seals are intact and caulking is not cracked. If you notice any disrepair, it’s best to reapply caulk to keep your home energy-efficient and safe.

Test for Air Leaks: On a windy day, you can feel for air leaks around your windows. If you detect a draft, it’s time to troubleshoot.

Clean the Tracks: For sliding windows, make sure to clean the tracks as dust can accumulate and hinder functionality. Use a vacuum or a wet cloth to ensure smooth operation.
