Don’t ignore this window cleaning reminder

1. Don’ ’t ignore this window cleaning reminder Few people, if ever, think about maintaining their windows well. Window maintenance is often lowest on our list of priorities and most people don’t think about windows until they malfunction. Of course, many of us do wash our sliding windows and clean the glass but that is usually the extent to which they are cleaned. Here are some ways in which you can change this narrative and start taking better care of all your windows at home. For starters, you need to make window cleaning a part of your regular routine at home. We have found that a vacuum cleaner can be an invaluable tool when it comes to cleaning windows frames and railings. Dust and grime can accumulate in the channels of your windows and disrupt their movement. They can also cause breakage if left unchecked so consider this your sign to start paying more attention to them regularly. A vacuum cleaner can help you suck out the dust and debris from hard to reach spaces of your windows and ensure they run well. If you don’t have a vacuum cleaner, a clean wet cloth can also do the trick. Run the cloth along the channels and let it pick up all the dirt and grime. For a more effective cleaning, you can also use a hose to spray water into the channels. This should be done carefully to avoid water splashing into your homes from your aluminium window frames during the cleaning process. It is usually not enough to simply spray water into your window channels, you may also have to manually get rid of any debris. You can also use a rough brush to clean such spaces and get rid of any build-up in the channels of your window frames. If you have a cleaning staff at home, encourage them to clean this at least once a week to ensure dirt doesn’t build up over time. You can also use certain harsh cleaning solutions but do so only after knowing that it won’t damage your window frames or panes. Don't be afraid to try different products before zeroing in on something that delivers exceptional results for you. Next, use a cleaning solution on your window panes as well. Cleaning it simply with water will give you visibly clean results but will not get rid of the oil and dirt build up on it. Over time, this can be very difficult to get rid off and you will slowly lose visibility without realizing it. A good cleaning solution and a squeegee should do the trick in most cases as long as you clean the glass panes often. Aluminium window manufacturers usually claim that their windows are durable and will last you a long time. But as is the case with any product that has moving parts, care in the form of regular maintenance is crucial and will ensure your windows function smoothly over a period of time. It is vital to clean your windows regularly and not wait till they break down or become visibly dirty or grimy. Simply add it to your weekly cleaning routine and you will continue to enjoy your aluminium windows for a long time to come.
