How To Clean and Lubricate Window and Door Tracks 

That's awesome! It made such a difference in y windows. I never noticed how dirty they were until I went to clean them. I'm sure yours looked great after also!

Thank you! Yes, easy to do and can make the windows last so much longer!

upper track? top of the window?

Thanks so much. I sprayed into the lock mechanism. It’s an older video and there’s always a learning curve!

This method works great. The fizziness is what helps break up the crud in the window tracks.

You're welcome

You know, it's been a while since I made that video. Unfortunately, I can't remember. Sorry!

George

You are very welcome

It will work on those too!

You should be able to place it back in the track. :)

Just because it's for locks doesn't mean it won't work. I decided to use the dry lube because it wouldn't turn gummy on the window components. Regular oil would attract dirt. Hope that answers your question!

And right on the product it says it's OK for wood too.@@WendiWachtelH2OBungalow

No, not really. I smells a little like an oil but not strong.

Regular vinegar will work just fine.

Hi Shan,, that's a good question, I just used regular vinegar!

As often as your windows need it. I haven't had to do a big cleaning like this since this video. I keep them clean by wiping out the tracks every now and then. Ours were really gross from the prior owner of the house. I don't think he ever did a stitch of housework!

Thanks for your reply. I have Liquid Wrench Dry Lubricant to apply to my tracks after getting them cleaned. I've heard that this works well.

You're welcome! Enjoy your clean window tracks!

I'd still clean the sills on the bottom, wipe the sides and lubricate them.

@@WendiWachtelH2OBungalow Thanks for the help

@@ezekialworstein3265 You're welcome!

🤣Probably so!

Hi Roli, That's a good question. There isn't any scent and I don't recall a strong chemical odor. I think it smells a little chemical when it's first sprayed, but it goes away quickly. Hope that answered your question!

It smells a little like oil but not terribly strong.

Yes it is, there are drain holes to the outside.

Yes, you can also use WD-40. But this works better and is less greasy.

Yes, you can but it's greasy compared to this product. I think this is better also because it doesn't attract dirt like the WD-40 would.

H2OBungalow, Thanks for this video Wendy! Do you know how is 3-in-1 lock dry lube different from triflow? I have tri-flow and wanted to try this. sensegrove, I was searching to find out if I should use WD-40, Triflow or silicon lubricant (like what I use for my foozball table.) this forum I found in a search forums.finehomebuilding.com/breaktime/general-discussion/lubricant-vinyl-windows included this advice: 1) Don't use oil or WD40 2) Do use Either a silicone lube or a teflon lube (TriFlow). Other searches say WD40 attracts a lot of dirt and grime after you apply it.

sensegrove KY too

Ya, use a dry lube

LOL! Thank you!

It works great!
