Annual Marvin Replacement Window + Door Cleaning List
· Inspect weatherstripping — Weatherstripping rests between the sash and frame of your door and window. Weatherstripping is designed to prevent water and air from entering the home.
· Examine finish — Clean your window or door’s interior and exterior finish to help extend the life of the finish.
· Check exterior caulking — Caulk tends to have a lifespan of around 10 years so it’s important to look to see if you have any fading caulk around your windows. Trim and remove any old and loose caulking.
· Inspect hardware — Look at your window hardware, like the locks, crank, etc. to make sure they are working properly.
· Tighten screws — Take a minute to check the screws on your doors and windows and tighten any if needed.
· Clean moving parts — Wipe away any dirt, dust, sand or debris from the door and window hinges, and tracks.
*Safety tip: Be sure to take proper safety precautions when using ladders, wear protective eyewear and clothing. Follow all manufacturer’s instructions when using cleaning solutions and follow disposal instructions.
