Andersen casement windows are a popular choice for homeowners who want to add a touch of elegance and functionality to their homes. These windows are known for their durability, energy efficiency, and ease of use. However, like any other window, they require regular cleaning and maintenance to keep them looking and functioning at their best. In this blog post, we will explore the ins and outs of cleaning Andersen casement windows, including the tools and techniques you need to keep your windows sparkling clean and in top working condition.
Before we dive into the specifics of cleaning Andersen casement windows, let's discuss why regular cleaning is essential. First and foremost, clean windows improve the overall appearance of your home. Dirty windows can make your home look unkempt and neglected, while clean windows can enhance your home's curb appeal.
In addition to aesthetics, regular cleaning also helps maintain the functionality of your casement windows. Dirt, dust, and debris can build up in the window tracks, making it difficult to open and close your windows smoothly. Regular cleaning can prevent this buildup, ensuring that your windows continue to operate efficiently.
Finally, cleaning your windows can help prolong their lifespan. Over time, dirt and grime can cause wear and tear on your windows' components, leading to potential damage or the need for replacement. By keeping your windows clean, you can help prevent this wear and tear and extend the life of your Andersen casement windows.
Before you begin cleaning your Andersen casement windows, gather the following tools and materials:
A soft, lint-free cloth or microfiber cloth
A vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment
A bucket of warm, soapy water (use a mild detergent)
A squeegee or window cleaning tool
A soft-bristle brush
A step ladder (if needed)
A clean, dry towel
Now that you have your tools and materials ready, follow these steps to clean your Andersen casement windows:
Start by clearing the area around your windows. Remove any furniture, curtains, or blinds that may be in the way. This will give you ample space to work and prevent any accidental damage to your belongings.
Before you start cleaning the glass, use your vacuum cleaner with the brush attachment to remove any dirt, dust, and debris from the window tracks. This will help ensure smooth operation and prevent buildup that can cause damage to your windows.
Dip your soft, lint-free cloth or microfiber cloth into the bucket of warm, soapy water and wring it out. Gently clean the window glass using circular motions, starting at the top and working your way down. Be sure to clean both the interior and exterior sides of the glass.
For hard-to-reach areas, use a step ladder to safely access the upper parts of your casement windows. Take care not to lean too heavily on the window or its frame while cleaning, as this could cause damage.
After you've cleaned the glass with your soapy cloth, use a squeegee or window cleaning tool to remove any excess water and soap from the glass. Start at the top of the window and work your way down, using a smooth, continuous motion. Be sure to wipe the squeegee blade with a clean, dry towel between each pass to prevent streaks.
Next, use your soft-bristle brush to gently clean the window frame and hardware. Dip the brush in your bucket of warm, soapy water and scrub the frame, paying special attention to any crevices or tight spaces where dirt and debris may accumulate. Be sure to clean the hinges, locks, and handles as well.
Once you've cleaned the entire window, use a clean, damp cloth to rinse away any remaining soap residue. Finally, use a clean, dry towel to thoroughly dry the window frame and hardware. This will help prevent water spots and streaks, as well as protect your windows from potential damage caused by moisture.
Now that you know how to clean your Andersen casement windows, here are some tips to help you maintain them and keep them looking their best:
Clean your windows at least twice a year, or more often if you live in a particularly dusty or polluted area.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools, as these can scratch the glass and damage the window frame.
Lubricate the window hardware with a silicone spray or other appropriate lubricant every six months to ensure smooth operation.
Inspect your windows regularly for signs of wear and tear, such as cracked or chipped glass, damaged seals, or loose hardware. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
By following these tips and regularly cleaning your Andersen casement windows, you can ensure that they remain beautiful, functional, and long-lasting additions to your home. Happy cleaning!

This newly built private house is in Sydney, Australia. The area occupied by the fenestration system in our scheduled design drawings was up to more than 110 square meters. A wide range of design details made the perfect mix of modern aesthetics and traditional sophistication, the simulated vertical hung windows with tilt & turn opening systems in this home are absolutely breathtaking. SDLS (Simulated Divided Lites with Spacer Bar) brings some historical vintage feeling to the whole building without losing any energy saving performance. Long narrow fixed windows creating larger-than-life expenses, coupled with German high-end systems made this project stand out from the rest.

Doorwin’s 61S simulated hung windows with tilt & turn openings is a respectful modernization of a classic architectural masterwork.
Why choose the tilt and turn opening method?
Because it generally has better air seals than sliding, single hung, or double hung window frames. Tilt and turn windows form a complete seal when fully closed, this means they are less prone to water leakage, and cold draughts and you’ll keep more of your heating indoors where it belongs. They can be opened in the upper tilt way to ventilate at a minimum opening status and are easy to clean outside of the glass; when there’s a good day, they can be opened as normal inward casement windows.
Our well-crafted bespoke systems enhance the functionality and panoramic view of this modern house.
