It is very important to do a good maintenance of the windows of your house and especially of all the elements that make it up. After all, it is a fundamental element in all homes and better maintenance will revert to a healthier and more efficient home.
The windows act as intermediaries between the exterior and the interior of the house and, for this reason, one of the elements that we first look at is the glass, which is responsible for letting the light through to the interior and letting the Exterior.
CLEAN THE WINDOW GLASS
Window cleaning is a classic household chore. It is the first thing you see if it is dirty and invisible when clean. To obtain the best results, the combination of warm water and soap is the best solution for immaculate glass.
Another option is to use a reliable window cleaner, yes, you should always use soft cloths or kitchen paper, to avoid scratching the glass. Scouring pads or materials that can erode the surface should never be used.
On the other hand, if you have wooden windows, the maintenance is a little more laborious, since they require that they be varnished from time to time and a more continuous treatment to prevent the wood from deteriorating, rotting or being attacked by insects.
TAKE CARE OF THE WINDOW FITTINGS
The ironworks are the great forgotten and we usually remember when any of them has already been damaged. That is why, you should grease them once a year with the appropriate oil so that the opening, closing or other mechanisms, such as those of the windows, end up deteriorating.
And you can not forget the joints, those small areas where dirt accumulates and that you also have to take care of. Avoid using sharp or abrasive materials in these areas. As in other areas, the best is soap and water and a soft cloth to remove impurities from the area.
