Cleaning Your Vinylmax Windows & Doors
Even when exposed to harsh weather, it’s easy to keep your new Vinylmax windows looking new. Our windows are designed to be simple to clean, simply follow these guidelines while cleaning your windows.
Vinyl Frames
Most of the time a mild dish washing detergent and warm water will remove common dirt and grime. Always use a soft cloth for cleaning your windows, rinse completely with clear water, and wipe dry. For more stubborn stains like crayon, pen, and rust, the Vinyl Window & Door Institute recommends non-abrasive cleaners such as Fantastik, Murphy’s Oil Soap, Soft Scrub and Windex. Substitute cleaners may or may not be as effective. Be sure to test any cleaner in an inconspicuous location first. Do not use cleaners containing aggressive solvents such as bleach, acetone, or furniture polish.
Screens
Mild detergent and water are all that is needed to clean your screen mesh and frames. For light messes and routine cleaning, a damp cloth should work. For a more in-depth cleaning, remove the screen from the window, rise with a gentle spray of water, and then wipe dry before re-installation.
Glass
The interior and exterior of your windows can be cleaned with an everyday household glass cleaner and a soft cloth or paper towel. For safety considerations, do not lean out of a window to clean the exterior glass.
