Fall Home Maintenance: Window Cleaning Checklist

The fall season offers some of the most spectacular show of colors, from shades of red and yellow to orange hues. Since the weather will start getting colder and the temperature outside will start to drop, staying indoors seems like a better option. However, you don’t want to miss out on the dazzling view that the fall season has to offer. The solution? Watching the outdoors turn into the beautiful colors of fall as you stay warm and cozy indoors.

To optimize your view, you need clean windows. Fortunately, exterior renovations expert Hunterdon Roofing, Siding and Window Company has compiled a window cleaning checklist that you can use for your fall season home maintenance.

Choose a Cloudy Day

The ideal day to clean your windows is when it’s slightly overcast outside. This is so that the cleaning solution won’t dry up too fast and leave streaks on your windows. You will also see better and spot any specks of dirt you might have missed. You can start cleaning the interior side of the windows before working your way to the exterior. You don’t have to step outside if both sides of your windows can be accessed from inside.

Prepare the Materials

Unless otherwise specified by your windows replacement company, you can use a generic glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Don’t have a cleaning solution? Diluted dishwashing liquid will do in a pinch.

Remove Curtains

Dust off or vacuum the blinds or curtains before cleaning the glass portion of your windows. Vinyl shades only need to be wiped down using a microfiber cloth. Don’t forget to wash the nearby areas and furniture such as the walls and trims so that dust can’t get on your newly cleaned windows. Pay close attention to the window frames, tracks and screens.
