From the second that you have replacement windows in Anaheim, CA<\/a> put into place in your home, it\u2019ll be your job to keep them clean. The good news is that most new windows require very little maintenance. But you will need to wipe them down from time to time, vacuum out their tracks, and, of course, wash the window glass in them.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need to steer clear of making any mistakes that could do damage to your new windows, though. Here are 4 common cleaning mistakes that many homeowners tend to make.<\/p>\n

Using the wrong cleaning tools and products<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever walked down the aisle in the grocery store with all of the cleaning products in it, you\u2019ve no doubt seen just how many window cleaning products there are. There are so many different tools and products that you can use to keep your windows clean. The key is picking out the ones that will work best on your specific windows. You should talk to the company that installs your windows and find out what they would recommend you to use when you clean your windows.<\/p>\n

Cleaning windows on a day when it\u2019s too hot or sunny<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some people mistakenly believe that it\u2019s a good idea to clean their Anaheim, CA windows on days when it\u2019s hot and\/or sunny outside. The thinking is that this will allow windows to dry quickly once they\u2019ve been cleaned. But in reality, you don\u2019t want your windows to dry too quickly when you\u2019re cleaning them. This can leave streaks behind, both on your window glass and your window sills. Choose a day when it\u2019s cloudy outside to clean instead. This will yield much better results.<\/p>\n

Allowing moisture to sit on windows for too long<\/strong><\/p>\n

While you don\u2019t want your windows to dry too quickly when you\u2019re cleaning them, you also don\u2019t want to leave water, cleaning products, or any other moisture behind on them when you\u2019re finished cleaning. This could cause damage to your windows and even lead to things like discoloration. When you\u2019re all done cleaning your windows, you should always wipe them down one final time to ensure you don\u2019t allow any moisture to linger.<\/p>\n

Not cleaning windows often enough<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the end of the day, you don\u2019t want to have to clean your home\u2019s windows any more than you really have to. It\u2019s one of the best parts about installing new windows that don\u2019t require a ton of maintenance. But you should get into the habit of cleaning them at least once every few weeks, even if the only thing you do is wipe them down with a microfiber cloth very quickly. This will keep your windows cleaner and help them to last for a long time.<\/p>\n
