Avoid THIS With Your Windows

A splatter of cooking grease here, a cute dog nose smudge there, a childs’ fingerprint —our windows are dirt magnets. Even if you’re a pro at spring cleaning, it’s all too easy to end up with streaks on the glass, not to mention leftover dirt and debris that you didn’t wash off properly. But learning how to clean windows isn’t hard—nope, not even the windows outside that you can’t reach. You just need some insider tricks to get the job done right. However, today, lets talk about mistakes you might he making instead.

1. Reaching for a lint-creating towel. You can never achieve a sparkling window with lint residue. Paper towels can leave globs of disintegrating paper behind. And non-microfiber cloths can deposit lint. Instead, try microfiber cloths, which are naturally lint-free and highly absorbent, not to mention eco-friendly. Pro tip: Avoid using fabric softener when laundering microfiber cloths. The softener coats the fibers, making them much less absorbent and much more prone to streaking.

2. Using too much cleaning solution. Many people mistakenly believe that more cleaning solution equals cleaner windows, but in fact, the opposite is true. More solution means more cleaning to get it off, and any left behind will streak. Start with one spritz, and if needed, apply a little more.

3. Forgetting to clean or rotate cleaning supplies. Wipe the rubber blade of the squeegee between swipes, and swap out your cleaning towels. Otherwise, you’re basically smearing dirt back on your windows.

4. Washing your windows on a sunny day. The pros know to clean on cloudy days. Why? The heat of the sun evaporates the water before you have a chance to wipe, giving you less-than-stellar results. Plan your tome accordingly and with the weather and you will be fail proof!
