The glass is probably the most widely recognized element of a window because that\u2019s the part we look through. But the framework that holds the glass in place is just as important and deserves attention as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a soft rag or brush and a mild soap and water mix, wipe down every part of the window framing. That can include the trim, sash, jambs, and sills. Also, wipe down the casings and any ledges on the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have wooden framing around your windows, take note of the wood\u2019s condition. Is it flaking or peeling? Is it jagged and rough? You may need to scrape or sand the surface and then repaint or stain it. But this kind of TLC will keep your windows looking great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure optimal function, be sure to complete some spring window cleaning of the fixtures and accessories. Vacuum the track to remove any dirt, debris particles, or even little bug bodies that may have collected over winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your home\u2019s windows have likely been sealed up since fall. And maybe you\u2019ve noticed a build-up of gunk or film on the glass over the past few months. Give the glass panes a thorough wash, inside and out to get rid of that winter grime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
