Cleaning & Care

Pace windows are designed to be thermally efficient, aesthetically pleasing and virtually maintenance free. To maintain that original beauty you may use a mild household detergent to clean the vinyl, and a standard glass cleaner with a lint free cloth to clean the glass. 

We actually suggest using our Original Glass Cleaner recipe Ingredients:

1 cup rubbing alcohol

1 cup water

1 tablespoon vinegar

for the most spectacular shine.
