erstwhile  your windows will have labels or tape on the glass. Alcohol-based cleaners can take out  label and tape adhesive that can be left behind from these labels.

Glass can be easily cleaned with regular or other ammonia-based glass cleaners. Windex and similar glass cleaning products are ideal

Vinyl (PVC) products can be cleaned with a solution of mild soap and water. For heavier cleaning tasks, the window manufacturer recommends commercially advertised household cleaners. Use any non-abrasive cleaner for tough  work , avoiding Soft Scrub and similar abrasive products, which may cause damage. Do not use solvents, paint removers or crisp objects to clean your windows and patio doors.

 If mildew is a problem in your home, use an right cleaner or mildew controller found in any local retail store.

The tracks of the sliding and double-hung windows are reveal to the outdoor elements, which cancontainabrasive elements such as dirt, leaves, sand, grease, soot, etc. If these elements are not removed, they can be ground into the tracks when the sashes are operated, making operation of these sashes difficult.

To avoid this problem, a minimum semi-annual cleaning is recommended. These tracks can be cleaned with a small, stiff, nylon brush, and then wiped down with a soft cloth. If necessary, an occasional light coat of silicone spray lubricant on the track of the sliding window will help to ease the operation of your window without leaving an oily residue, which can collect more scratchy elements.

Follow the manufacturer's  suggestions for secure use of any chemical or cleaner.

Over time, your windows' screens can accumulate dirt and other debris. Screens can be cleaned easily with a soft brush. The type of soft brushes found on some vacuum cleaner accessories are a good example of a proper brush.
