Windows in a home are more than just a visual sight. Windows not only help keep our homes cool in warm weather providing much-needed ventilation, while also protect us from cold weather when it snowing outside, or those chilled polar vortex winds that continue to rise due to ongoing climate change debate. Owing to its benefits, a home looks beautiful when its windows are clean, making those crystal clear glass a sight to watch as we live a comfortable life.
Many believe that cleaning windows is a tough job. Many homeowners never give window cleaning a thought. Mainly because it just adds to the already growing list of work we need to complete in our busy everyday lives. However, we have got some tips on how easily and effortlessly, homeowners can clean their windows, and make their living place clearer. Above all, many of the tips cost-effective, and techniques easy enough to apply on a routine basis.
The best known to do it yourself (DIY) method for window cleaning involves using water, paper, and vinegar. It is also one of the cheapest methods to apply. Mixing distilled vinegar with some hot or warm water can make the best window cleaning recipe, on par with many professional on the shelf expensive cleaners. If windows are extremely dirty or grimy, cleaning them first with a mixture of soap and water is the first step. Then the process can be completed by using a sponge or spraying the mixture and then using paper as required.
The second most professional way of window cleaning involves using a squeegee. There are numerous cleaning products available for the specific task of cleaning windows. However, just using a dishwashing liquid or the above-mentioned vinegar mixture and a squeegee can lead to streak free crystal clear windows. If you have not used a squeegee before you will find that you will need to practise first. Always take care when using a blade and rubber to ensure streaks are removed. Although many squeegees are easy to operate and non-electric, if your house has large windows and needs a thorough cleaning, electric squeegees can be of benefit. They come equipped with powerful blades and pressure gauge that applies the required pressure to remove even the toughest and stickiest of dirt.
Recently, electronic cleaning tools have seen some growth. Some are equipped with extra materials such as a special window cleaning liquid, wipes, and rubber detachments like those in a squeegee that provide cleaning of large glass doors and windows.
