Windows cleaning tips

13 May Windows cleaning tips

While you may be thinking of reaching for that blue bottle of spray glass cleaner, and a paper towel to clean your windows, think again. Soap and water is actually the best option for your windows glass, frames, tracks and even the screens. Plus, you won’t build up static, leave flecks and streaks behind and it will require less elbow grease for you. If you’re ready to tackle some cleaning on your windows, let’s get started.

How to Clean Windows Glass

1. To start, use a soft brush to dust the initial dirt off the windows. Do the hinges, sills, frame and tracks at this time too.
2. Squeeze a small amount of mild dish soap into a bucket of warm water, the less soap the better.
3. To wash the windows, use a strip washer. It’s like a squeegee but with a cloth strip on it. Dip this in your soapy water, wring out excess water and wash the windows.
4. Next, with a regular squeegee, wet the edges and pull it from top to bottom in an S-shaped motion.
5. Wipe the squeegee with a cloth diaper, lint free rag or microfiber towel each time you lift it up.
6. Dry any remaining widow drips with the damp cloth and finish up by wiping the frame and sill.
7. When doing the inside of the windows, put a towel down near the track to catch any water drips. Allow about 10 minutes per side, per window.
