Spring Cleaning: 5 Tips for Sparkling Clean Windows
Spring is here! Sunshine, flowers and spring cleaning. It’s time to spruce up, clean up and get the house for spring. If you want to get sparkling clean windows to enjoy your spring view, start by dusting, brushing away or vacuuming the sills, groves, tracks and sashes. When your windows are clean of dust and debris, try these 5 tips from Chatelaine:
- Use good old-fashioned soap & water to break down dirt & build-up. A mild dish soap mixed with warm water works well.
- Add vinegar to your soap and water solution to help reduce streaks. Use about 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water.
- From the top of the window work your way down in an “S” pattern. This helps prevent drips and streaks.
- Wash your windows on an overcast day to prevent them from drying too quickly and leaving streaks. The sun can cause the cleaning solution to evaporate too fast.
- Wash your windows at least twice (or more) a year. Regular cleaning helps prevent heavy buildup that becomes harder to remove.
For best results, use a squeegee to wipe the windows after washing and dry the sills and frames with a clean, lint-free cloth. Don’t forget to clean both the inside and outside of the windows for maximum shine and clarity.
Remember, never use petroleum-based cleaners, abrasive or acidic cleaners, caustic chemicals, razor blades, putty knives, abrasive pads or high-pressure water hoses on any part of the window or frame as they can cause damage. Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners for safe and effective window washing.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
