Not only are windows a significant investment, they also contribute significantly to the curb appeal of your home. It's probably time to give your windows some much-needed TLC.

As the weather gets warmer, it's a great time to work on your windows. Taking care of your windows not only protects your investment, but also beautifies your home.

Here you will find tips and tricks for easy window care.

1. Make a DIY cleaner
Mix 2 cups water with 1/4 cup vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon dish soap.

2. Use a sponge brush
It is perfect for hard to clean (and often neglected) window rails.

3. Dealing with drafts
Repair your windows with sealant to prevent drafts and reduce energy costs.

4. Check the seals randomly
If moisture collects between the panes, there is a problem with the sealing and your window probably needs to be replaced.

5. Find and destroy rot
If you have wooden frames, scrape out any rotted parts and fill them with epoxy putty.

6. Think about vinyl
If you're replacing windows, vinyl doesn't need painting and won't warp or crack. Plus, cleanup is a breeze!
