You’ve made the wise decision to get double glazed windows in your home – not only do they add a stylish touch, but they’ll be saving you money on energy bills in no time


But that’s not all – if you take proper care of them, your windows will be looking as good as new for the foreseeable future. 


Clean Double Glazed Windows the Right Way


Double glazed windows are very durable and can last for years, provided you use the right cleaning products and techniques.


Here’s what you need to know: 

1. Avoid abrasive cleaners: Don’t use anything abrasive, like steel wool, cleaned scouring pads, or any type of chemical solvent cleaner. These surfaces will cause discolouration over time and might even strip away the protective finish from your windows. 


2. Use a microfibre cloth or a soft sponge: Use only a soft non-abrasive cloth – cotton is best – or a sponge dampened with water to gently wipe off dust and dirt from the window frames and sashes. Microfibre cloths are best as they can easily pick up the dirt and grime without leaving any streaks behind.

3. Drying windows: The goal is to avoid leaving any water spots on the frames or glass. To avoid this, make sure you completely dry off all the water with a soft and dry cloth after you’re done cleaning. If possible, open your windows to let the air circulate and help dry things even quicker. 


4. Special cleaning needs: If there are any stubborn stains or hard-to-remove dirt, you can try using a mild detergent or dishwashing liquid mixed with warm water. Then proceed with steps 2 and 3 – use a soft cloth to gently wash away the stain and make sure to completely rinse and dry afterwards. Don’t forget to repeat this process on both sides of the window panes. 


Investing in new double glazed windows means investing in the future value of your home – so don’t forget to give your windows some TLC every once in a while! Follow these four key steps when cleaning your double glazed windows to get sparkling and streak-free results that will last for years to come!


Conclusion


With the steps above, you can keep your new double-glazed windows looking and working in top condition for years to come. Last but not least, don't forget to regularly check for gradual damages! 


A few minutes of preventative care can make all the difference in the long run. 


By taking all these measures you can enjoy the benefits of double-glazed windows with peace of mind—upgrading them with a modern style that adds charm and value to your home.
