How to Clean Windows?

Even when the weather is pleasant and sunny, most of us have probably noticed that our windows are not letting in the maximum amount of natural light. The reason behind that is if our windows are smeared with a coating of grime, dust, smashed bugs or water spots, we may not obtain the optimum amount of natural light in your house or business that it is supposed to. Cleaning windows is at the top of our cleanliness list, and it should be on yours too to fully appreciate the longer days and rich vistas outdoors.

Many of us make mistakes on even the most seemingly straightforward tasks. Cleaning windows may appear simple, but even the most experienced cleaners can make mistakes from time to time. Cleaning windows is, fortunately, a simple procedure. There are a variety of commercial window-cleaning solutions on the market, all of which claim a "streak-free luster." However, a simple solution of one part white vinegar to two parts water combined in a spray bottle works well. To make the task go fast and smoothly, start with these ideas and strategies on how to clean windows inside and out, whether you use store-bought or homemade vinegar cleaning solutions.

Cleaning Windows From Inside

• Add a few drops of liquid dish soap to a bucket or big pot of clean, chilled water.
• To collect any spillage, place a big bath towel beneath the window.
• Starting at the top and working your way down, use a clean microfiber cloth or sponge to go over the window's surface. Don't forget to clean both the inside and outside of the frame.
• Spray the window with vinegar and water solution or a premium window cleaning product (if you wish). Mixing one cupful of ammonia with two gallons of water is another alternative.
• Dry the window entirely using a Z-shaped motion with a clean, lint-free towel (or black-and-white newspaper pages). If you like, you can dry the windows with clean paper towels.
• Spray and dry again if dirt or streaks remain. (Dirty windows usually need two coats of paint and drying time.

We recommend you work on a cold, overcast day to prevent the soapy water and window-cleaning solution from drying on your windows.

Cleaning windows from the outside

• Dirt and stains are more common on outside windows. Fill a container with clean, cold water and a few drops of liquid dish detergent after cleaning the windows with the hose.
• Go over the window's surface with a delicate microfiber cloth. Use a sponge mop (or a soft cotton or microfiber mop) on a pole to clean the upper windows.
• Using the hose, thoroughly rinse.
• Use a vinegar and water solution or a professional cleaner to spray or mop the floor.
• Using a clean, rubber-bladed wiper, dry the window. Working from top to bottom, angle the squeegee towards the bottom of the window. At the end of each pass, wipe the squeegee with a clean, dry cloth. You may also dry the windows with a clean, lint-free cloth or newspapers.
• Inundate tough dirt and stains, such as bird droppings, with vinegar and water and allow them to sit for a few minutes before drying. You may also use a soft "scrubby" sponge, but avoid using steel wool or firm cleaning cloths since they can harm the glass.
• Window screens should not be underestimated. Soak with ordinary water, then spritz the vinegar and water combination before rinsing again. Before reinstalling the screens on the windows, let them dry completely.
