Keeping windows clean in the Lower Mainland can be a chore
Windows are an essential part of any home, providing natural light, fresh air, and a view of the outdoors.
However, keeping windows clean and streak-free can be a challenge, especially if you live in an area with high pollution or inclement weather. In this blog post, we’ll share some tips and tricks for achieving spotless, sparkling windows.
- Use the right tools
To clean your windows effectively, you’ll need a few essential tools, including a squeegee, a microfiber cloth or chamois, a bucket, and a cleaning solution. You can purchase a commercial window cleaning solution or make your own by mixing equal parts vinegar and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can damage your windows and harm the environment.
- Start with a dry, cloudy day
Cleaning your windows on a sunny day can make the process more difficult, as the heat can cause the cleaning solution to dry too quickly, leaving streaks and smudges. Instead, choose a dry, cloudy day when the temperature is mild, and the sun isn’t shining directly on your windows.
- Clean from top to bottom
When cleaning your windows, start at the top and work your way down, wiping away excess cleaning solution as you go. Use your squeegee to remove the solution from the window, starting at the top and pulling down in a smooth, even motion. Wipe the blade clean after each pass to prevent streaks.
- Don’t forget the edges and corners
To clean the edges and corners of your windows, use a clean microfiber cloth or chamois to remove any remaining cleaning solution. Make sure to wipe in a circular motion to prevent streaks, and use a dry cloth to remove any excess moisture.
- Finish with a final polish
Once you’ve cleaned your windows, use a dry microfiber cloth or chamois to give them a final polish. This will remove any remaining streaks or smudges and leave your windows looking crystal clear.
