After a snowy, wet winter and a pollen-filled spring, there's no shame in having windows that are showing a bit of wear and tear. Here are some tips and tricks for keeping your windows clean and looking new:

• To avoid streaking, acquire a squeegee specifically designed for window-washing. You wouldn't use a toothbrush on your hair, so don't use something designed for cleaning floors on your windows. Purchase a squeegee with a soft rubber edge that's specifically designed for window cleaning.
• Mildew on the frame doesn't necessarily call for full window replacement. It's common for the formation of mildew or mold around the window frame to convince homeowners they're in need of full-scale window replacement. Before you do that, try washing with a detergent that is bleach-based, let it sit for ten minutes, then wash thoroughly with clean water.
• If your window interior is the problem, it's probably time to change your heating or air-conditioning filter. If you're noticing an excess of dust not just on your windows, but in your home overall, it may be time to clean or replace the filters in your house heating or cooling system.
