As winter fades and spring arrives in Northern Utah, it is the perfect time to refresh your home. One of the most impactful ways to brighten your living space is to clean your windows thoroughly. After months of snow, ice, and wind, your glass needs attention both inside and out.
Here is a spring window cleaning checklist that every Draper, Park City, and Alpine homeowner should follow.
Inspect Windows for Winter Damage
Start by inspecting your windows for any cracks, chips, or frame damage caused by cold weather or ice buildup. Check seals and caulking to make sure no air or water is leaking through.
Clean Interior Glass Surfaces
Wipe down the inside of each window using a streak-free solution and a microfiber cloth. Pay attention to smudges, fingerprints, and dust buildup that accumulated over the winter.
Wash Exterior Windows
Exterior glass often shows signs of hard water stains, road salt, and dirt. Use a professional-grade cleaner or hire a window cleaning service for tall or hard-to-reach windows to ensure a spotless finish.
Clear Out Window Tracks
Dirt, leaves, and debris often build up in window tracks during winter. Use a vacuum and damp cloth to remove buildup so your windows slide and close properly.
Wipe Down Window Frames and Sills
Spring is a great time to deep clean your window frames and sills. These areas collect moisture, dust, and mold over time. Clean with a mild soap solution to restore their appearance.
Clean or Replace Window Screens
Take out your screens and rinse them with a hose or soak them in soapy water. Let them dry fully before reinstalling. Damaged screens should be repaired or replaced before summer arrives.
Check for Mold and Mildew
Look for signs of mold or mildew around window frames, especially in humid areas like bathrooms or basements. Clean any affected areas and address any leaks or moisture problems.
Schedule a Professional Window Cleaning
A professional service ensures streak-free glass, removes hard water stains, and extends the life of your windows. Spring is one of the best times to schedule a full-service window cleaning to restore clarity and shine.
