Make sure you create a schedule for cleaning your windows and clearing them of debris. Windows that are not cleaned regularly will wear and become damaged very quickly. Windows, even Denver replacement windows, are a sizable investment and caring for them should be a top priority. Cleaning your windows is fairly easy. The best way to clean is by using a dry paintbrush to sweep the window clean of any dirt and dust. You shouldn't use chemical cleaners on the windows because finishes will be washed away with them. Next you'll need to check the weep holes. The weep holes are located in the frame of the window to keep water from pooling in the tracks. Keeping the weep holes clear of any debris is very important because if they are blocked the water will wear the window frames and cause rot and mold to take over. Another important piece of window maintenance is to make sure all the hinges, rollers and sashes are in working condition. These components are important to keeping your window functioning properly. Replace any damaged parts as soon as you become aware of them.
