Before looking at the practical steps, it helps to understand why window maintenance belongs in your household routine.<\/p>\n

A well-maintained window retains its thermal and acoustic insulation<\/strong>, helping avoid unnecessary energy loss and higher bills. Although uPVC is highly resistant, dirt can build up and the finish can lose its appearance if it is not cleaned properly.<\/p>\n
