How to Care for Your Andersen Replacement Windows

After you have made your investment in replacement windows for your Harrisburg area home, you should start a maintenance schedule to make sure your windows stay in tiptop shape for as long as you have them. Here are some of the best ways to keep your Andersen windows sparkling and beautiful every season of the year:

In the Spring…

Springtime is ideal for sprucing up your windows, especially after the tough winter snow, sleet and ice has melted away. First, it’s a good idea to clean every window in your house on the inside and the outside. You can use any kind of gentle cleaner, although it’s recommended that you choose one that won’t scratch your windows or frames.

If you want an all-natural cleaner, mix equal parts vinegar with warm water. Dry the windows with a soft cloth. If any of your windows require lubricant, use the type of spray that’s recommended for the product.

In the Summer…

While you don’t have to clean your windows on the outside if you did a thorough cleaning in the spring, you should still clean the insides of the windows every month or so during the summer. Again, use a gentle cleaner and a soft cloth. Screens can be cleaned with a vacuum — never use any kind of intense pressure, as they might break.

In the Fall…

The autumn is the time to do another indoor and outdoor cleaning of your Harrisburg home and its replacement windows. Don’t forget to clean the tracks and mechanisms of your windows – many people who invest in window replacements neglect to maintain all the parts that help the windows work as expected.

If your replacement windows have to be taken apart, make sure you know exactly how they work. It’s actually much easier than you might expect!

In the Winter…

Just like the summer, make sure you take good care of the indoor elements of your windows. Keep them free from dirt and dust. If you notice that the grout is getting dirty, you can use special grout cleansers.

If you focus on a little bit of maintenance each season, your efforts will pay off in a big way. You’ll love your Andersen Replacement windows even more every day of the year!
