Clean windows are the showcase of every home, but cleaning them streak-free can be a challenge. That's why we have prepared for you proven methods that will make your windows shine. Use the tips below and enjoy great results!
Choosing the right products
Selecting the right tools and cleaning products is the key to success. Here are some suggestions:
- Glass cleaning spray or homemade solution: Choose a ready-made product or make your own by mixing 1 cup of vinegar with 2 cups of water. Vinegar effectively removes grease, dirt and prevents streaks.
- Microfiber cloths: They absorb water perfectly, leaving no lint.
- Window washer: Professional washer with a rubber strip removes excess water and dirt, leaving the windows clean.
Window cleaning technique
Proper window cleaning technique that's half the battle. Follow these steps:
- Window cleaning: Apply your chosen solution to the glass and use the washer to remove dirt and excess water. Work from top to bottom, wiping the washer bar after each pass.
- Pre-cleaning: If the windows are very dirty, wipe them with a dry cloth to remove dust.
- Avoid sunlight: Wash windows on a cloudy day or when the sun is not shining directly on the glass. This will prevent the solution from drying too quickly, which helps prevent streaks.
After cleaning the windows, use a dry microfiber cloth to thoroughly polish the window. Make sure all residual cleaning solution is removed to avoid streaks.
