Tips to Ensure Well-Maintained Windows This Fall

Fall provides the best conditions for home maintenance chores. With pleasant weather, you can accomplish your cleaning goals faster. As the top residential window replacement contractor in the area, we make sure to inform our customers about the importance of properly caring for and maintaining their newly installed windows. Here’s a checklist of tips to help you get started.

Tips to Ensure Well-Maintained Windows This Fall

Remove Dirt From Main Window Components

Windows can last a long time if you routinely clean and maintain them. Use a soft brush or rag and warm soapy water to get rid of dirt and debris from the window sills and tracks to ensure flawless operation and prevention of drafts. The same soapy solution can be used for the glass, but water with a few parts of vinegar is a viable alternative.

Take Care of the Hardware

Use the same cleaning materials and solutions to maintain the sheen of the windows’ hardware. We recommend not to use abrasive cleaners or products with harsh chemicals as these may damage the hardware itself almost as much as the exposure to the elements. If fading is evident on the metallic parts of your windows, applying a small amount of light machine oil should do the trick.

Boost Insulation

Energy-efficient windows help ensure indoor comfort. However, you can further bolster this by investing in window treatments like heavy curtains and blinds. Installing them not only ensures privacy and darkness, but also provides warmth and insulation during the colder months.

Sometimes, cleaning and maintaining windows are no longer sufficient in keeping them aesthetically pleasing and functional. If they’re showing their age, it’s time to replace them with the best replacement windows in your area. Count on Renewal by Andersen® of Southwest Missouri for superior window and door replacement.

"I just bought my first house. My patio sliding door was rotten. So, I needed it to replace it. Renewal by Anderson of Southern Missouri listened to what I wanted and delivered it. They did a fantastic job of installing and cleaning up afterwards. They did it even in freezing rain that day I was scheduled to have it replaced. They even had a follow-up to check things out and do the touch ups. I'm amazed at there work. Great job Renewal by Anderson."

"On Feb 1,2024 my husband and I selected Renewel by Andersen for windows for our entire house. It made our house more beautiful with the picture windows. Made the outside more attractive, and on the inside. We did 14 windows. We had 4 men come to do the job in 1 day And they were very friendly, efficient,fast and cleaned up inside and outside perfectly. And most importantly we noticed the heating furnace runs less,therefore saving us money on our gas bill. We live in SW Missouri. We recommend anyone who wants to replace windows in their home to pick Renewal by Andersen. Sincerely, Darius and Nancy Durman"
