Before they purchase your offerings, curb appeal helps customers form a positive opinion about your business. Having a clear, shiny windows is a simple way to make your business look appealing. You can schedule commercial glass installation or commercial glass repair services if your windows are old. Today, we at M & M Glass would like to share some tips to keep your commercial windows clear and shiny.

Clean Window Tracks

Before spraying your cleaning solution, remove the dirt and dried debris from the window tracks. You’ll combine the debris into a gunk that will smear across the glass if you continue cleaning if you wet the tracks before clearing it. Use a vacuum with a brush attachment to lift up the loose dirt and dead bugs, or with a dry paper towel to remove the debris.

Check Windows Weep Holes

To allow water to drain, there are slits or openings in your windowsill. They could appear as small rectangular slits in or below the frame on the outside of your business. You can unblock them by pouring equal parts warm water and soap along the horizontal sill if you have weep holes. The stains are loosened and washed away with the remaining debris.

Window Cleaning Solution

There are many cleaning solutions in department and home improvement stores you can choose from. You want a non-streaking formula and doesn’t leave residue behind. The best over-the-counter solutions for your glass type can be recommended by your commercial glass installation contractor. Make your own clean solution by mixing equal parts water and white vinegar. Sprinkle baking soda on the windowsill, then apply the vinegar mixture into the window tracks until the baking soda is saturated. Spray the vertical windowsill as the mixture sits for 5-10 minutes. Wipe them down after you scrub the dirt with a toothbrush. An obvious sign your commercial glass needs to be replaced is if none of these solutions are effective. You can use old toothbrushes, paper towels, and rags for cleaning the windowsill and tracks. You can use sponges, cloths, a squeegee, and anything that won’t scrape the glass to wipe down the glass. With a butter knife wrapped in a rag, you can clear out the corners of your window tracks carefully.

How Do You Remove Hard Water & Tough Stains from Windows?
