Grab your old newspapers or paper towels -- it's time to clean windows! Window Cleaning Tips -- The Tools Get your tools in place first. We'll show you how to clean windows using the following cleaning equipment and cleaning products...
First, vacuum out the window sill. Windows tend to get leaves, dust, spider webs bugs and dirt accumulated in the sills. Vacuum this out and wipe out with a wet rag or paper towels. Sometimes window sills and frames are stained or mildew spotted. Clean them with a mixture of water, laundry detergent and bleach. Never clean windows in direct sunlight; the sun dries the windows too quickly and the cleaner leaves streaks on the glass. There are many methods used for window cleaning and glass cleaning. No matter what way you choose to clean the windows and glass it is important to first wipe them down with a clean towel. This will remove any excess grime and dirt and will also make it easier to get them sparkling clean. Window Cleaning Tips for Sparkling Windows The first solution is to mix a cup of vinegar with a quart of water and pour into a spray bottle. The second method that you may use is a mixture of 1/2 cup cornstarch and 2 cups warm water, and then wipe this mixture onto the window panes with a sponge. Using paper towels or lint free towels buff the paste from the window panes. Another method of cleaning is to use a comercial glass cleaner on the window panes. Then thoroughly clean them with paper towels, changing the towels as they get dirty or wet. Still many people use balled up newspaper print for that gorgeous shine. Window Cleaning Tips -- Types of Windows There are different challenges when window cleaning, one is the different types of windows you may clean -- crank out, single sash, double sash, fixed... This job may result in having to climb a ladder some or more stories high (which isn't a requirement -- you choose if you're comfortable with ladders and make sure you have insurance!), but newer homes mostly have some kind of easy to clean design. It would be nice if all homes were furnished with tilt-in windows. This would make cleaning a very simple task. Tilt windows make washing both sides a real cinch. Mist the inside of the panes and wipe horizontally until dry. Use the same process on the outer panes except wipe the panes vertically this time. Change directions because cleaning in the opposite directions makes streaks easier to find, and you can see which side of the glass their on so you can get rid of them. Double pane windows that do not fold in are a little more difficult. For proper cleaning slide the bottom pane up about eight inches so you can reach out and up. Clean as much as you can then slide the top panel down to reach it from the top. --> Return Home from Window Cleaning Tips.
