1“Sticky” windows

Windows, particularly those with iron frames, can begin to stick after years of wear and tear. Fortunately, getting them back to sliding smoothly doesn’t require a professional. All you really need is a silicone-based lubricant. Make sure that it’s safe to use on your window’s material, spray up the window hinges and voilà, they will open and close like brand new frames! Top tip: you can reuse the same lubricant for locks, drawers and other sticking items.
