Answer: Here are a few tips to help you clean your windows.
Wash using mild detergent (if necessary) and a soft cloth or 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.
For difficult to remove dirt and stains use readily available household cleaners. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the use of the cleaners.
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 appearance of the vinyl.

For routine glass cleaning, we recommend using a mixture of 30% white vinegar and 70% water. 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.
Ammonia-free glass cleaners such as Windex® also produce good results.
Thoroughly dry water and/or cleaning solution from glass and all window surfaces.
DO NOT USE razor blades, metal blades, abrasive cleaning solutions or materials to clean the glass due to the high probability that damage to the glass will occur.
