Do Not Use an Ammonia-Based Cleaner

Ammonia is an excellent cleaning agent but you should think twice before you use it on your replacement windows. Like other abrasive cleaners, this substance may be too harsh for certain window components.

There are several safety concerns associated with ammonia use in cleaning. If you use too much of it, ammonia may burn your flesh and hurt your eyes. It also emits fumes harmful to the throat and lungs.
