Keep Windows Clean. A prominent component that makes sunrooms unique is the amount of glass and windows that allow for an outdoor feeling in the comfort of an indoor space. As with any window with exposure to the elements, they require regular cleaning and maintenance. Along with your regular cleaning of windows, plan a deeper cleaning in the spring in preparation for the season change.

Keep Screens Clean. Keep screens clean on a regular basis, and when you notice dirt and debris. Remove the screens from windows and clean with a gentle brush and mild cleanser. Rinse and dry thoroughly before replacing the screens.

Use Mild Cleaners On Vinyl. For vinyl that may be used on the interior or exterior of your sunroom, avoid scratches. Use cleaning products that are not abrasive. Avoid bleach, chlorine, and ammonia cleaners on your vinyl. Use a soft-bristle brush or cloth (rather than steel wool or scrubbing sponges) to clean vinyl and avoid scratching. Power washing can be problematic, so steer clear of power washing your sunroom.

Keep Gutters Connected With Your Sunroom Cleaned. As with the entire gutter system of your home, those connected with your sunroom addition require regular maintenance. Keep your gutters clear of leaves, pine straw, and other debris. Ensure that the downspouts flow easily, without obstructions, and the outflow of rainwater is drawn away from the foundation of your home. These maintenance measures will ensure that water does not collect along your roofline or your foundation. Water collecting in these areas could cause greater damage to your sunroom over time.

Keep Handles, Locks, Doors, and Deadbolts Clean. Lightly clean handles, locks, deadbolts, and doors with a damp cloth. If these metal components are squeaking, then add a light machine oil lubricant to keep them working smoothly and quietly.
