Regular maintenance will help keep your Marvin windows and doors operating smoothly. Use this checklist as an annual maintenance reminder.
• Be careful when using ladders.
• Wear protective eyewear and clothing.
• When working with primers, paints, stains, cleaning solutions, etc., follow all manufacturer's instructions for safe use and disposal.
• Avoid cleaning glass while it is in direct sunlight, especially tinted and coated surfaces, to prevent streaking.
• Start cleaning windows at the top of the building and continue to lower levels.
• Soak the glass surface with clean water to loosen dirt and debris. Make sure no abrasive particles remain on the glass, then apply an approved cleaning solution with a non-abrasive cloth or other applicator.
• Quickly remove the cleaning solution with a squeegee, taking care not to allow metal parts of cleaning equipment to touch the glass surface.
• Avoid any cleaning product that has a strong chemical base or a high alcohol content, as chemical reactions could damage components.
• Wipe any remaining traces of cleaning solution from glass and other parts of the window and frame. Windows, including their parts and frames, are susceptible to deterioration if left damp.
• Some windows have an energy panel, often confused with a storm window. An energy panel is a removable, exterior glass panel and can be cleaned in the same way as other parts of the window.
• Don’t use abrasive cleaning solutions or materials, don’t allow metal parts of cleaning equipment to touch the glass, and don’t use scrapers of any kind.
• Note: Glass scratched by a scraper is not covered under the Marvin warranty.
• Labels and adhesive residue should be removed from glass as soon as possible after installation.
• If a label does not release from the glass easily, use an approved cleaning solution to help remove it.
• Do not remove labels while exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not let cleaning agents come in contact with weatherstrip or finishes, as they could cause damage.
• Carefully remove the screen and lay it on a flat, clean area.
• Remove any dust by lightly spraying the screen with water from a hose or vacuuming with a soft brush extension.
• Instead of drying with a cloth, let the screen air-dry completely before reinstalling. For doors, remove and replace screens from the exterior.
