Take a shine to spring cleaning The daffodils are in bloom, sunny skies occur more frequently and you find yourself shedding that heavy winter coat in favor of your , skirt-sleeves. Spring is in the air and as you mentally prepare to enjoy the great outdoors again, you realize that your house also needs a fresh look to complement the balmy weather. » If you have chosen aluminum windows for your home, spring cleaning is as simple as using soap and water. That's right, aluminum windows require no more maintenance maintenance than a good scrubbing to wash away even the worst winter grime. And since almost no one relishes relishes the thought of spending precious precious warm weather weekends cleaning, scraping, painting or adjusting windows, aluminum windows windows can be your key to a brighter season. Make Short Work Of Doing Windows What makes aluminum windows so easy to maintain? Aluminum windows are factory prefinished with durable baked-on enamel--a strong material much like your car's finish--or they are anodized finishes finishes that actually become part of the metal itself. They won't ever peel, flake, crack, blister or rusL Even after years of exposure to winter cold and summer heat, aluminum windows will look as good as new. But even aluminum windows need occasional seasonal cleaning. After a long winter, rain, snow and dust accumulate to ruin the view on the inside and out. With aluminum windows, you can throw away the paint brush and take a shine to spring instead. Get On The Inside Track In fact, frames with smooth, durable enamel or anodized finishes rarely need cleaning. Dust and spots don't easily cling to them and they will not stain. When aluminum does need a thorough spring cleaning, a damp cloth and a little plain soap and water are all you need to handle the job. Some modem window designs have features like tilt-in sashes to make for effortless cleaning. Forget about balancing on top of a rickety ladder or ruining your landscaping just to wash the windows. By simply simply turning the special latches and letting the sashes tilt inward, you can clean the glass and framework from the safety of indoors. When its time to spruce up your house for spring and summer, aluminum aluminum windows can cut your cleaning time down from days to hours. With all the challenges of contemporary living, aluminum windows will give you one less thing to worry about And when the lazy days of summer arrive, wouldn't wouldn't you rather spend them relaxing on the beach or enjoying the golf course?
