Window Cleaning - How To’s
Window Cleaning Is Easy
Many people are stumped when it comes to figuring out how to clean windows
but window cleaning is more straightforward than you might think. The first thing to understand is that the window consists of more than just
a glass. The windowpane is just one of the items that you have to address during
window cleaning. You also need to consider the blinds, drapes, screen and sills.
Soaking The Screens
Start by removing the blinds and drapes and washing them individually. Blinds
can be cleaned in a tub full of warm water and soap, while drapes can be taken
to a drycleaner.
Rinsing Screens
Next remove the screens from your windows and take them outside. You will want
to spray the screens down with a hose to remove most of the dirt and then continue
by scrubbing them with a brush and some soapy water.
Get Out Your Vacuum
Windowsills are easy to clean if you have a vacuum cleaner. Use the vacuum
hose to suck up debris and dead insects. Next use a paintbrush to sweep out
any remaining dirt from the cracks and corners and finish by wiping the sills
with a cloth that has been dipped in diluted rubbing alcohol.
The Best Tools For The Job
When you clean you get around to cleaning your windowpanes remember that professional
window cleaning supplies will usually produce better results than paper towels
and store bought cleaning solution. Try to get your hands on a squeegee and
a scrubber to make the task easier.
