How to Clean Window Tracks [The Simple Hack that Works Every Time]

Before you go calling a cleaning service or decide to just keep all the windows closed, try this simple process to get your window tracks sparkling clean.

Depending on how large and dirty your windows are, this process should only take about five minutes per window.

Gather Your Supplies Add a couple of inches of hot water and cleaning solution to the bucket. Set the bucket and rest of the cleaning supplies next to your first window.

Remove Loose Dirt From Window Tracks Starting with the window closed, use the paintbrush to dust and loosen any dirt in the tracks or around the locking mechanism. Vacuum all the loose dirt with your vacuum brush attachment. While you’re there, run the brush attachment over the window glass too.

Scrub Window Tracks Scrub inside the upper section of the window tracks, the open edge of the window, and the locking mechanism. Make sure to open and close the locking mechanism while cleaning so you get all the crevices.

Final Touches Grab some window cleaner and give your glass a quick cleaning.  It should already be pretty clean thanks to your weekly cleaning routine.
