Your window replacement is not complete by just purchasing the windows and fitting them in the designated space. No matter whether they are basement windows or vinyl windows, you also have to take proper care to maintain them. Firstly, always used cleansers that are alcohol based, to erase the tape marks on your windows. Don’t erase at one go but do it slowly along with rinsing the glass. For the normal cleansing of glass always use ammonia based cleansers. Vinyl windows can be cleaned with a normal solution of water and soap. 

You should strictly use the household cleansers for heavy cleaning rather than opting for soft scrubbers. Most of the soft scrubbers damage the lustre and glow of windows. Avoid the usage of sharp objects and paint removers for the cleaning purposes. A mildew controller should be used for checking the mildew problems. In addition to it, the double hung windows slowly accumulate dirt particles, leaves, sand and grease in their sashes. 

Thus, it is important to clean them from time to time. Cleaning of windows is not important just for catering to the beauty needs but also to ease up the operational process. Thus, after completing your window replacement, it is advisable to have a monthly cleansing of your windows. You can use soft cloth or nylon brush for this purpose. Silicon lubricants are also useful for cleansing purposes. But it is important to consult the manufacturer before using any cleanser or chemical.
