Fiberglass is also a popular choice among many homeowners because it is so easy to maintain a regular basis. When it comes to cleaning your windows, you can just wipe down the fiberglass frames with the same glass cleaning solution you use to clean the panes. You can even clean the exterior side of your frames by spraying them down with a pressure washer.
