As the weather gets cooler, it’s the perfect time to do a few chores around the house. This includes window cleaning before the holiday rush begins. So to prepare for fall, Renewal by Andersen® of Phoenix shares your window cleaning checklist.
-
Remove and Clean Your Window Screens
Start with your window screens. They are often ignored but are actually the most part that needs cleaning. Remove them first and check for any tearing. If your window screens are badly torn, replace them immediately. One of the best ways to clean window screens is to spray off the dirt and air dry them outside.
-
Vacuum Your Blinds and Shades
Dust build-up on your blinds and shades should not be ignored, especially during the colder months where you spend more time inside your home. They’re a nuisance and can trigger allergies. Make sure to vacuum the dust, instead of cleaning them with rags. This way, the specks of dust would not continue to waft inside your home.
-
Clean Your Window Glass
It’s best to regularly clean your windows. Not just the exterior side, but also the interior part. Get rid of handprints, dirt, and other residues that fog your window glasses. If you’re trusting a reliable professional window cleaner to take care of your windows, don’t forget to remind them to clean the interior part of your windows.

Check for Leaks and Cracks
To thoroughly check for cracks on your windows, hire a professional for a visual inspection. This will reveal any damage to your windows that can cause leaks and other serious problems in the future. Caulking and weatherstripping are two ways to prevent leaks, but cracked windows may need to be replaced.
