Cleaning Double Hung Windows

Vinylmax double hung windows are manufactured with both sashes able to raise up, lower, and tilt in for easy cleaning of the exterior glass surface.

Bottom Sash

Top Sash

Step-By-Step

1. Unlock the window by disengaging both cam locks

2. Raise the bottom sash at least 3” to allow the sash to completely clear the sill

3. Push both tilt-latch buttons in toward the center of the window. This allows the sash to move away from the frame

4. With both hands, pull the sash gently toward you and allow it to rest on the window sill

5. Clean the bottom sash glass

6. With the bottom sash still tilted in, lower the top sash at least 3”

7. Push both tilt-latch buttons in toward the center of the window

8. With both hands, pull the sash gently toward you and allow it to rest on the bottom sash that is already tilted in

9. Clean the top sash glass

10. To return the window sashes to their normal location, one at a time hold the top rail of each sash and firmly push it all the way back into the frame. Make sure that both tilt-latches click back into the frame
