Windows should be cleaned regularly. Not only can you get a clear view, but you can also extend their lifespan. The Window + Façade Association (VFF) draws attention to this. Proper cleaning can also prevent problems such as leaky windows.

Window cleaning tips

The best way to clean windows is to work from the outside in. You start with the window frame and finish by cleaning the pane. Aggressive cleaning agents, scouring powder, solvents or hard brushes can damage windows. When purchasing cleaners, it is therefore advisable to pay attention to the recommendations of the window manufacturer.

Basically, the experts advise: If it is a metal or plastic frame, you should use a neutral cleaning agent and a sponge or cloth. Gentle cleaning and care products tailored to the natural material are recommended for wooden frames. For anodized aluminum frames and paint-coated profiles, it is best to use a neutral cleaning agent and fiber fleece.
