Vinyl windows lubricant spray.

Vinyl windows are easy to clean weather resistant inexpensive and attractive options for the home. Wipe the lubricant onto the window s track and along the jamb liner where the sash slides open and closed. However a fairly common complaint is that despite being advertised as self lubricating they re often prone to becoming difficult to open and close easily and when it s time to wipe the windows down a stuck window pane is frustrating and time consuming. Sometimes though vinyl windows can feel tight or difficult to operate.

Avoid spraying lubricant directly. For windows with an exposed balance coil spray lightly onto the balance. The tracks and the sides of the window sash that make contact with the track are all that need lubricating. Avoid spraying lubricant directly onto the vinyl window.

Often lubricating the vinyl window resolves the issue and the windows slide without effort. Silicone lubricant can leave a permanent mark on the glass as well as a greasy mess on the vinyl that is difficult to clean.
