A proper track cleaning vacuums out the debris, lifts the drainage holes clear, brushes the corners with a detail brush, and wipes every channel with a microfiber.

How does Descanso's climate affect this service?
Pine forest community; heavy needle and pollen drop. Mountain tracks catch pine needles and oak leaf fragments that can pile inches deep in a neglected window.
Why do window tracks matter if I clean the glass?
Because water drains through the track. When debris blocks the weep holes (the small slots at the bottom of the frame that let rainwater escape outside), water pools against the glass, rots the sill, and eventually finds its way inside. Clean tracks also let the window close flush — a window that can't seal is an energy leak.
How bad can a dirty track really get?
Ten-year-old tracks often hold a quarter-inch of compacted pollen, dirt, bug casings, and glass fragments from a broken window frame. We've emptied tracks into a shop-vac canister and refilled it more than once. It's surprisingly gross.
