Window seals are an essential component that ensures airtightness and thermal insulation in our homes. Regular maintenance not only extends the life of your windows but also helps save energy and improve comfort. In this post, we’ll share some simple home remedies for seal care and provide insights into our experience using professional care products at GlasRein.ch.

Why are window seals so important?

Window seals protect against moisture, drafts, and noise. If neglected, they can harden, crack, and lose their function. The good news is that maintaining them is simple and can be done using household methods.

Here are some easy steps you can follow to maintain your window seals at home:

1. Cleaning the seals:Start by removing dust and dirt that have accumulated on the seals. Use a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a mild detergent.Wipe the seals thoroughly. For hard-to-reach places, you can use an old toothbrush. After cleaning, make sure to dry the seals completely.
