Window Cleaning Easy Tricks, Old And New

By Ryan Wagner


One morning you are doing some stretching, having breakfast, preparing for the day, the usual. Until you see what your windows look like. That it can actually use some dusting, and that you will feel horrified for anyone you will invite, when they see it.

From do it yourself solutions to the old newspaper trick, there are various ways to do it. Bring the sparkle back to your window panes by window cleaning as soon as you get the chance. They may appear to be clean most of the time, but when a ray of sun hits them, you see the real thing.

Do not clean them when the sun is hitting it directly. This will make the windows dry quickly and then you will have unwanted streaks that are even harder to take off. It would prove to be too much trouble for an otherwise easy task. It would be better when you do your cleaning on a cloudy day.

Get a large pot or bucket already filled with clean water. You will have to add drops of dish washing soap solution. Go free on the water without flooding it. This is because you would want the dirt coming off. You place a bath towel beneath, or a large damp cloth to catch the spill this will cause.

Try to remove any applied sticky substance on them. May it be stickers the kids had put on, or applied decals you used for scaring birds away, removing them can be a hard task. You need a bottle filled with water along with a plastic scraper with a good enough edge. Spray them and wait for two minutes. Then apply gentle pressure in using the scraper.

Do your cleaning on a gloomy day. Direct sunlight may make it easier for you to check the area where it is dirty, it also dries them too quickly. That will leave streaks that you would need to clean again later on, instead of being over and done with your task.

Sometimes it is better to use a squeegee made for window washing. This will help you take off he streaks better. Do not ignore the screens and wash them too. For those that are really dirty and hard for you to clean, household ammonia is better, especially if you use vinegar solution with it.

If you want a good finish, go ahead and dry the glass with the crumpled newspaper. The ink on it adds for a good sparkle on the panes. Some windows get dirty unusually very fast. This could be because modern airtight homes have the ability to trap dust and other unwanted elements that are hard to get rid of.

It would be safe to say that this task is generally something that most people hate because of all the dirt involved. Plus the dripping water and streaks that can prove to be so annoying. T You can just go for the steps that you find easier to work with. After all, those are your windows. You would know how best to maintain it, and let the sunshine in.
