Quick-Step Guide: Cleaning Windows and Door Tracks

Maintaining a neat and welcoming home entails much more than tidying floors and furniture. Often overlooked but as important as these are your windows and door tracks. Clean windows brighten up your home and make it aesthetically appealing. Similarly, clean door tracks make sure the sliding door operates efficiently. Westlink Services knows that keeping every corner of your house in order and desirable takes time. That is why we offer you professional cleaning services for keeping your home spick and span.

Why Clean Windows and Door Tracks?

Although windows and door tracks are not always at the top of your cleaning list, they play a big part in giving your house a good outlook and maintaining proper functionality flow. When windows become dusty and grimy, they hurt the aspect of your house interiors by choking natural light. When your door tracks are filled with dirt, it will get tough for sliding doors to function smoothly, causing problems in operation in due course. Cleaning keeps your home aesthetically pleasing yet functional.

Squeegee for a mark-free finish.

Bucket for mixing your cleaning solution.

Extension Pole to reach windows beyond your vertical capacity.

Scraper to remove tarry dirt or paint.

For Door Tracks:

Vacuum cleaner with the Crevice Tool to suck out loose dirt and debris.

Old Toothbrush to make the job easier in scrubbing tight corners.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Cleaning Windows and Door Tracks

How to Clean Windows

Prepare Your Solution: For an eco-friendly cleaning solution, mix equal parts of water and white vinegar in a bucket.

Dust and Wipe: Use a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust from the window frames and sills.

Clean the Glass: Start at the top edge of the window and work from one end to the other in horizontal lines along the length of the window. Wipe the blade with a cloth after every pass.

Clean the Edges: Using your microfiber cloth, clean excess water and solution off the edges of your window.

Check the Streaks: Step back and check for any misses or streaks, using a dry cloth to reach into the window for spot cleaning as necessary.

Clean Door Tracks

Clear the Area: Remove any rugs, furniture, or other items that may interfere with access to the door tracks.

Vacuum the Tracks: Use your vacuum’s crevice tool to remove dirt, debris, and pet hair.

Scour the Tracks. Use a portion of your cleaning solution with an old toothbrush to scour inside the track walls, especially where corners are preying on dirt collection.

Wipe Clean with a damp cloth to wipe off the grime and cleaning solution. End by drying the tracks using a clean cloth to avoid moisture buildup.

Final Inspection: Ensure no debris is left; slides smooth.

How Often Should You Clean Windows and Door Tracks?

Regular cleaning of windows and door tracks brings numerous advantages, and some of them include the following:

Health: Dust-free windows and minimal pollen, allergens, and mould ensure a healthier indoor atmosphere.
