A Comprehensive Guide to Cleaning Double Hung Windows in Springfield

Keeping your home’s windows clean not only enhances its appearance but also ensures optimal functionality. Double hung windows, a popular choice in Springfield homes, offer versatility and ease of maintenance. Let’s dive into a step-by-step guide on how to clean double hung windows effectively, ensuring they remain sparkling and functional for years to come.

 

  1. Gathering Essential Cleaning Tools:
  • Window cleaner (such as Windex)
  • Magic eraser (for vinyl windows)
  • Wood polish and dust cloths (for wood windows)
  • Vacuum with extension hose
  • 5-gallon bucket of warm water
  • Window squeegee
  • Extra towels or lint-free cloths

 

  1. Window Preparation:

Begin by removing the window screens to access the exterior glass easily.

Vacuum the bottom sill of the window to remove dust and debris, making the cleaning process more efficient.

 

  1. Interior Window Cleaning:

Clean the interior side of the window using a standard cleaner like Windex or a suitable alternative.

If applicable, remove any removable interior grilles for thorough cleaning.

 

  1. Exterior Window Cleaning:

Raise the bottom sash of the window and locate the tilt hatches on the bottom sash. Pull them inwards to tilt the window towards the interior.

Clean the exterior glass using a suitable cleaning solution, such as a mixture of vinegar and water, for stubborn stains.

Utilize a squeegee for a spot-free finish, ensuring to replace the blade regularly for optimal performance.

 

  1. Restoring Windows to Natural Placement:

Allow sufficient time for the windows to dry completely before reattaching the screens and locking the sashes back in place.

Carefully lift and rotate the upper sash until it clicks into place, avoiding excessive force that could damage the window.
