Clean Window Frames before Finishing the Glass

The window reference recommends including curtains or blinds in the broader cleaning task, then addressing the frames before the glass. Otherwise, dirt and water from the surround can land on a freshly finished pane. A damp sponge removes lighter surface dirt from the frame.

Choose a glass-cleaning solution compatible with the window and its neighboring materials. Finish the panes after the surrounding surfaces are clean, using suitable tools to remove liquid rather than allowing residue to dry in place.

A top-to-bottom sequence prevents dirty runoff from spoiling newly cleaned panes.
