TIPS OF THE WEEK | LIFE IN NOSARA

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE TIP

Keep Screens and Sliding Doors Working Smoothly

Why do sliding doors and window screens get stuck in Nosara?
Because dust, sand, BUGS and humidity build up in the tracks, creating friction and wear.

How can I fix this at home?
Vacuum or brush out the tracks once a week minimum, wipe with a damp cloth, and use a light silicone spray so everything slides easily.

Pro Tip: Avoid oil-based lubricants and products—they attract more debris and make the issue worse.
