4 Essential Steps to Clean Your Infinity Fiberglass Windows

1. Glass Cleaning

To achieve streak-free, spotless glass, follow these steps:

• Avoid cleaning in direct sunlight: Hot glass can cause cleaning solutions to dry too quickly, leaving streaks behind.
• Coated Glass: Take extra precaution when cleaning glass with coated surfaces.
• Pre-soak with water: Loosen dirt and debris by soaking the glass with clean water before applying a cleaning solution.
• Use approved cleaning solutions: Only use approved cleaning solution
• Dry thoroughly: Ensure all cleaning solution is completely dried from the glass, frames, sealants, and gaskets to prevent residue buildup.
• Never use scrapers: Avoid using scrapers or abrasive tools that can damage the glass, especially if it has a coated surface.

2. Screen Removal and Cleaning

Window screens can accumulate dust and debris over time. Clean them properly with these steps:

• Carefully remove the screens: Screens must be removed from inside your home by releasing the pins. The Infinity Owner's Manual provides detailed instructions.
• Clean the screens: Place them on a flat, clean surface and spray them with water to remove dirt.
• Allow them to dry completely: Before reattaching, ensure the screens are completely dry to prevent moisture buildup.
• For door screens: Always remove and replace door screens from the exterior of the door for proper handling.

3. Cleaning Ultrex Fiberglass Frames and Grids

• Use an approved cleaning solution: It's important to only use solutions that are approved so as not to damage your window finish.
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth: Apply the cleaning solution to a soft cloth and wipe the frames and grids without using excessive pressure.
• Rinse with clean water: Remove any remaining solution with clean water to avoid residue.
• Avoid harsh chemicals: Never use solvents, paint thinners, or abrasive cleaners that could damage the Ultrex surface.

Keep your window hardware in excellent condition with these simple steps:

• Start with warm water: Use a damp cloth soaked in warm water to gently clean the hardware.
• Dry thoroughly: Wipe down the hardware with a dry cloth and allow it to air-dry completely.
