Maintenance & Care Information

Vinyl windows are virtually maintenance free, but some simple routine cleaning and maintenance will ensure they perform their best and continue to look great.

Frames

Wash window and patio door frames with mild, nonabrasive soap and water. Never use abrasive or acidic cleaners because they might cause permanent damage to the frame finish. Always test cleaners in an inconspicuous area first. Wipe dry when finished.

Glass (all types)

• Clean glass with a mixture of mild dish soap and water. When finished, rinse completely with clear water and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use petroleum-based cleaners or caustic chemicals; razor blades, putty knifes or abrasive pads; high-pressure water hoses on any part of your window or patio door.
• Use only mild soap, water, and a soft brush when cleaning your screens. When finished, rinse with clear water and wipe dry.

Patio doors

• Periodically lubricate all window tracks, rollers and hardware.
• Regularly check weather-stripping to ensure patio door is sealed airtight.
• Vacuum the tracks on all sliding patio doors to clear any dirt or debris.
