A Guide to Removing Hard Window Stains

Keeping your windows clean is important both for the beauty and functionality of the windows. Luckily, there’s a simple solution that makes window cleaning quick and easy. Read on as Renewal by Andersen® of Portland, your replacement windows expert, explains:

Easily remove stains on your window by following these simple steps:

1. Make a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar.

2. Soak a towel in the solution.

3. Apply the solution to the streaked areas on the window and let the solution sit for at least two minutes. In this step, the acidity will soften the mineral deposits making them easier to wipe off. 

4. Wipe the solution off the window until the spots disappear. Do this repetitively until all the stains are gone.

5. Dry the windows thoroughly with your rag.

If you want a more convenient procedure to follow, you may consider installing self-cleaning replacement windows from Renewal by Andersen.
