Care and maintenanCe
of your vinyL WindoWs
and doors
Congratulations on choosing windows and doors that offer the easy care and
low maintenance of vinyl. As a result, with only simple care and cleaning, your
windows and doors can keep their beautiful appearance for years.
Like any surface exposed to outside elements, your windows and doors
will get dirty from time to time, but cleaning them is rather simple. Often,
heavy rains will wash the vinyl clean, but if the rain isn’t enough, you can
restore the splendor of your windows and doors by following these simple
instructions.
Vinyl Windows and Doors
n Wash using mild detergent (if necessary) and a soft cloth or
ordinary soft bristle brush. Do not clean the windows or doors
with a high-pressure washer. The extreme spray pressure could
crack or destroy the caulking around the window or door.
n For difficult to remove dirt and stains use the readily
available household cleaners listed on the chart. Follow the
manufacturer’sinstructions on use of the cleaners.
n In some cases, you may wish to use a mildly abrasive cleanser
such as Soft Scrub,
®
but the use of any abrasive material could
scratch the surface of the glass and window or door frame.
n DO NOT USE liquid grease remover, strong soaps or
detergents containing organic solvents, nail polish remover,
furniture polish or cleaners containing chlorine bleach.
These items could affect the surface appearance of the vinyl.

Glass
n For routine cleaning, we recommend using a 30% white
vinegar and 70% water premixed cleaning solution. Use
a soft, lint-free cloth or paper towels to wipe clean, rubbing
in different directions. If there is any residual streaking, rinse
with clear water and wipe again.
n Ammonia-free glass cleaners such as Windex
®
also produce
good results.
