Never yellow plastic windows

Not that they would not want to tell you, just not something the sales people generally are made aware of.

Having a warranty against that would be re-assuring. Re: Vinyl Window Yellowing? I think in-home salesman tell homeowners about the yellowing problem so they can sell more expensive windows to them.

After the dirt and grime are gone, I then let everything dry and move to the next step, tape. So I tape off the windows just as if I were going to paint them. Tapping helps you control the clean edge. I used a new applicator and new rags for each window.
