Consult with Peerless's specific instructions, especially before using potentially abrasive or caustic cleaners or solvents.
Generally, when cleaning glass, it is a good idea to use a vinegar-based glass cleaner or mild dish soap and water with a soft, lint-free cloth or paper product. You may use a squeegee to dry.
Petroleum-based cleaners or solvents should not be used as they can streak the glass and weaken the seal between the glass and frame.
Carefully clean the frame surfaces as directed by Peerless. If you live in an area with saltwater or acid rains, it is a good idea to rinse the exterior of your windows and doors several times a year with water to help protect them from harsh elements.
The use of a razor blade, steel wool, putty knife, or abrasive pad may damage your window.
Clean tracks and weep holes using a dry paint brush(soft natural bristle) or vacuum brush attachment.
Check weather stripping, hardware & caulking, and replace broken, worn, or damaged parts. Poor performing components can decrease security and energy efficiency.
Make sure all exposed hardware screws are tightened securely. Apply silicone spray lubricant to all moving parts.
Check windows and doors for smooth operation.
Reduce the risk of an unsecured environment or loss of energy efficiency by leaving windows and doors closed and locked when not in use for ventilation.

These recommendations should be followed to reduce the opportunity of damage to glass surfaces during cleaning. It is strongly recommended that window washers clean a small area or one window, then stop and examine the surface for any damage to the glass and/or reflective coating.
