Vinyl windows require little maintenance but should be cleaned once or twice a year to keep them in good shape. For fall cleaning, you will need mild soap and water, vinegar and water, soft cloths, a soft bristle brush, spray bottle, and vacuum cleaner to clean the windows and ensure they function well through the winter. Deeper cleaning of hardware may require an appropriate solvent or commercial glass cleaning products.
