While spraying WD-40 on your window screens might make them look shiny at first, trust us you’ll be worse off in the long run!
Because it leaves an oily, sticky residue behind, it will instantly attract airborne dust, dirt, and pet hair, turning your screens into a magnet for grime. Plus, that oily film can easily transfer onto your window glass every time it rains or gets humid.
Skip the lubricant and stick to gentle soap, water, or a dry cleaning brush to keep things clean and clear.
While we inspect windows, frames, and building components across all Ottawa neighbourhoods from Nepean and Findlay Creek to Orleans, Rockland, Gloucester, and Kanata we love sharing practical tips to help you avoid messy maintenance mistakes.
