Spring Window Cleaning

Marvin Replacement windows are virtually maintenance-free but if window cleaning is on your list of spring cleaning chores, here are some tips to consider when cleaning your windows in the spring.  

• Use caution on ladders, wear protective eyewear, and clothing when cleaning the exterior side. When working with primers, paints, stains, cleaning solutions, etc. follow local codes or manufacturer’s instructions.  

• Inspect weatherstripping for damage. Take care when using paints, stains or varnishes as these products can damage weather stripping.  

• Examine window or door’s interior and exterior finish. Regular maintenance can extend the life of the finish.  

• Inspect exterior caulking around the outer edges of the window or door frame. Trim any loose caulk and reseal any gaps with a quality caulk.  

• Check all hardware (locks, opening mechanisms, etc.) for smooth operation.  

• Inspect exposed hardware screws; tighten if loose.  

• Clean sand, dirt or dust from door and window hinges, sills and tracks. Wash your windows and doors with a Marvin Replacement-approved cleaning solution.
