For most people, cleaning their windows isn’t part of their normal cleaning routine. However, while you might not notice how dirty your windows are when you’re going about your daily life, if you spend a few minutes really looking at your windows and the blinds or tracks that are part of your windows, you might find that you really should be cleaning these parts of your home more frequently than you presently do. Luckily, if you know the right way to go about it, cleaning your windows can be relatively quick and easy.
To help you in doing this, here are three tips for cleaning your windows so that they look like brand new windows.
Remove Dirt And Dust First
Before you go about attempting to clean the windows of your home, you should first make sure that the space around your windows is clean. There’s really no use in washing the glass of your windows just to get smudges and smears on it when dirt and dust from around the window get onto this surface.
To best remove the dirt and dust from in and around a window and its frame, you should use a cloth to wipe down all of the surfaces and catch anything that’s left standing on the window or frame. You can also use a small attachment on a vacuum to easily clean in the window tracks to remove as much dirt and debris as possible.
Clean Glass With A Cloth, Squeegee, Or Mop
Once your windows and the window frame is clean of all dirt, dust, and debris, you’re ready to start cleaning the actual glass of your window.
While you might have used things like newspaper or paper towels to clean the glass of your windows in the past, these things can actually leave behind residue and dust of their own that can make the window not as clean. So rather than using these products on the glass, use something like a microfiber cloth, a squeegee, or even a mop to clean the windows high and low.
Dust The Whole Space Again After Cleaning The Glass
After you’ve cleaned around your window frame and cleaned the glass of your window, it’s a good idea to dust the entire space around your window again before you think you’re done with the project.
Oftentimes, when you get the liquid of a glass cleaning solution on a window and window frame, dirt and dust that you didn’t notice before can get moved around. So by doing another quick cleaning of the entire space at the end, you’ll be sure that your windows really will look good as new.
If you want your windows to look new without actually having to get new windows, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you give them a good cleaning.
