Fast tricks to clean windows like a pro

The big spring cleaning is one of the most important moments that will ensure a fresh, clean and healthy atmosphere in your home for at least one season ahead. Yet some of the final touches like wiping off dust and rearranging the wardrobes are also highlights that you don’t want to miss. Another one is the cleaning of windows, mirrors and other glass surfaces, which are also as important as easy to clean. For example, check out the following fast tricks to clean windows like a pro:

First, get yourself a small bowl and a spraying bottle. They are important to make a simple solution by mixing only hot water and white vinegar – nothing excessive or unusual! You can buy a universal windows cleaning detergent from the market, but the effect should be almost the same if you apply the homemade solution properly onto the window surfaces.

For a faster and better application – use a clean towel and let it soak up in the solution for a while. It’s important to use a soft cotton cloth or a fiber towel especially for cleaning glass. The motions should be slow enough to cover the entire surface of the windows with the solution, as well as fast enough to avoid dryness of the already wet areas. A great idea is to begin with the upper half of the window and then to move to the lower part if possible.

Use a squeegee to wipe off the excess of the solution, while applying a medium force to clean the window surface in the meantime. For very persistent spots and dirt – you may need to repeat the treatment with the solution but this time, apply it only onto the most soiled spot and let it to soak up and dissolve the stain for a half minute or so. Go over the spot with a clean towel by dabbing the spot and then wipe it off until completely disappears from the surface.

Another great idea is to leave the cleaning of windows as the last step whether it comes to a big spring cleaning or an office cleaning. You don’t want the volatile dust and blemishes to stuck onto the freshly cleaned windows and glass surfaces while you beating the dirty carpet through the window, for example.

When cleaning windows – always the best time is in a dark cloudy day, but not a rainy one. If possible, left the windows cleaning for the perfect moment even when it comes to a couple of days or more after the big cleaning. It’s just the powerful sunshine that enhances the evaporation and especially from perfectly flat glass surfaces like the windows. Because of that, when you clean windows on a clear sunny summer day there is a chance the sprayed solution to dry within a dozen seconds or even immediately after application. The drying effect of the sunshine becomes even greater when the powerful summer sunshine beats down directly the windows and the air temperature is higher. There is also a chance to appear long stripes of darker stains – these of the quickly dried traces from the squeegee or even drops. That’s why it’s good to leave the windows cleaning for a cooler day with no winds or a powerful direct sunlight.

After cleaning the windows with the right tools and solutions – polish them with just a piece of soft paper towel and fast motions. This will restore the shine, polish and it will make the windows looking like new.
