When it comes to windows, you might think once they’re installed they just sit there and work their magic. In reality, that’s not one-hundred percent true. Yes, windows (depending on the window you’ve purchased) don’t require too much maintenance. But they absolutely have to be maintained in some way. And the way to maintain a window is to clean it and check for any damages. Lake Forest residents know a beautiful and clean window can do wonders for a home and give spectacular views.

But how do you know that you’re properly cleaning a window? Easy! Windows like vinyl are easily cleaned with soap and water. Make sure to use a soft towel to wipe down your windows. You don’t want to risk scratching the glass or the frame. Don’t press too hard or apply extreme pressure to your window while cleaning. Gentle motions are great when it comes to cleaning your windows.

You want to also make sure windowsills are cleaned like the frames of a window. If you have pets or children, you know the areas of your window can get quite dirty. Food droppings, pet dander, dust and dirt can get logged in the crevices of your windows. And while you may not think it’s a big deal or something you need to clean often, it’s important that these areas and your windows are cleaned. Dirt and film on a window can not only make your windows look dirty, dingy and unmaintained, but your windows will also not work at their absolute best. It’s important to give your windows the chance to work for you at full performance. Otherwise, why invest in great windows to begin with? You’ll only do yourself a disservice.

Windows are a great judge of how well a home is maintained. It’s safe to say that homeowners with well-kept homes don’t usually have damaged, broken and warped windows. You can usually judge a home by its windows, so for homeowners who take pride in the way their home looks, just remember to keep an eye out for replacement windows.
