most double panel window have a seal to keep a gas inside that wont allow fog in the panels, contact the company that installed them., if you dont have guaranteed of you bough the house with them instaled and dont know who placed them, then go to home depot or lowe's they should have a answer, if you rent contact the rental office.

This is right up my alley! I sell windows. Anyway to answer while the argon is still in the glass it is great but as stated by other people the seals can not keep the gas from escaping over time do to expansion and contraction. so by year 5 of the window more then 75% of the gas has leaked out. I only will have it put in the window if the customer asks for it specifically. I also tell them about how it is pretty much non existent after 5 years so you are paying extra for something that doesn't last! In the industry we are not even suppose to mention argon anymore because of this. As for putting replacement windows in if the frame is in good shape then there is no problem but a lot of installers will say this because it is so much faster to do a replacement unit then a new one! With a replacement you just pop out the old window and throw in the new one! It might take about 10 Min's to do it where as a new window will take about 25 Min's to half hour because they have to square it up and seal it in! But I personally think it is better to go with a new unit just in case there is something that is unseen!

Double pane windows only show discoloration inbetween if the seal has been broken. This is only fixable by replacing the entire window. It is not a cleaning issue.

What you have is a broken seal on your double pane windows, and you need to call the company that installed them and they will replace the pane, if you have a guarantee.
