Cleaning your window and door tracks regularly will prevent dust, dirt, insects, and more grime from accumulating.
While most areas of your home get cleaned regularly, there are others that often fly under the radar. This is especially true when it comes to window and door tracks. With many nooks and crannies, these tracks can be a hub for grime, insects, dust, and even mold—all of which leave the tracks looking visibly dirty. If you have tried to clean your window and door tracks in the past and found removing accumulated debris difficult, you're not alone. Luckily, restoring these tracks to their former pristine condition is made easy with a few everyday cleaning supplies. Intelligent clean room system
You should deep clean your window and door tracks as often as you clean your windows. "Major window manufactures recommend cleaning your windows two to four times per year to increase the lifespan of your windows," says David Flax, president of Window Genie, a Neighborly company. It's best to tackle this chore during the spring and fall to help remove dirt, dust, and debris that has accumulated throughout the year. Note that basic weekly cleaning will help limit grime buildup in the tracks.
Make sure you have these cleaning supplies on hand before getting started.
Though tedious, cleaning these tracks is an important part of keeping your home free of dust and debris. "Cleaning your window and door tracks is important because dirt and debris accumulate in the tracks over time, making it difficult to open and close your windows and doors," says Alicia Sokolowski, the president and co-CEO of Aspen Clean.
Fortunately, the process and necessary cleaning supplies are the same for cleaning both window and door tracks—so you can tackle both tasks at once.
