Whether you are purchasing your windows online, in person or over the phone ... however you order replacement windows, installment isn't the final step! Maintaining your windows and making sure the eyes to your home are clean and presentable is important to managing a lovely home.
Here are a few simple rules to follow to ensure you clean your windows streak free:
Step 1: Cleaning windows isn't and shouldn't only be about the glass. First clean the frame and windowsill. Dust and dirt get trapped here and if you skip this step the residue could spread on the glass later on.
Step 2: Purchase an all-purpose glass cleaner or you can make your own cleaner at home!
*You can either do equal portions, one cup of vinegar and one cup of water. Combine the liquids in a spray bottle and shake well. If you feel like your windows need a little extra, you can add half a teaspoon of detergent or dish soap to the mixture.
Step 3: Using a microfiber cleaning cloth, you can now get to clean the glass.
*Microfiber cleaning cloths beats paper towels. Not only is it great for cleaning glass without streaks, but it is also great for cleaning pretty much any surface. Paper towels are too expensive and not reusable. Some swear by newspaper, so if you don't mind the risk of smudging ink, give it a try!
Step 4: Spray across the glass and wipe with the microfiber cleaning cloth in the same direction, left to right, top to bottom.
And there you have it, the easiest way to get professional results with cleaning your windows.
