As the Qingming Festival approaches, it is the perfect time for sacrificial sweeps and spring outings. Whether you are returning to your hometown to offer sacrifices to your ancestors or going on a short-distance trip, while planning your itinerary, don't forget about the safety and maintenance of the "guardians" of your home – the doors and windows. Today, we have combined the characteristics of travel during the Qingming Festival with the usage requirements of doors and windows to present you with a practical guide, helping you travel with peace of mind and return home without worries!
1. Fully lock to prevent theft and accidents • Check whether all doors and windows are completely closed and locked. In particular, ensure the stability of the locking points and hinges of outward-opening windows to avoid accidental opening caused by strong winds or external forces. • For residents on high floors, it is crucial to confirm whether the limiters of outward-opening windows are effective to prevent the risk of the window sashes falling due to excessive outward pushing.

1. Wind and Sand Prevention • During the Qingming Festival, windy and dusty weather may occur in many places. Clean the sand grains in the track grooves in a timely manner to avoid difficult sliding or abrasion of the hardware. • In case of strong winds, it is recommended to adjust the casement windows to the inward-tilting mode, which can not only provide ventilation but also reduce the impact of the wind. 2. Moisture and Mold Prevention • Humid weather is likely to cause the hardware to rust. Before going out, you can drip lubricating oil on the hinges and pulleys to keep them running flexibly. • After returning, wipe the condensed water on the window frames in a timely manner to prevent the profiles from oxidizing or the rubber strips from getting moldy.
1. Fire Safety: If there is no one at home, do not pile flammable items on the balcony or by the windows to avoid sparks from the burning of joss paper during outdoor sacrificial sweeps from being blown in by the wind. 2. Ventilation Management: When you return home after the sacrificial sweeps, pay attention to the integrity of the screen windows while opening the windows for ventilation to prevent a large amount of catkins and pollen from entering and causing allergies.
1. Key Points of Cleaning • Dip a soft cloth in a neutral detergent and wipe the glass and frame to remove the sand and dust stains accumulated during the trip. • Check whether there are any foreign objects remaining in the track. After cleaning with a vacuum cleaner, drip in some lubricating oil to keep it smooth. 2. Potential Hazard Inspection • Observe whether the sealing rubber strips are aging or falling off, and replace them in a timely manner to maintain the sound insulation and heat insulation effects. • Test the smoothness of opening and closing the doors and windows. If there is any jamming or abnormal noise, contact a professional for maintenance.
