Spring Cleaning Tips for Windows

Spring cleaning is automatic for many people when the warmer season sets in. You won’t run out of things to clean during this time, but if you want to make sure your home is always in good order, you can’t do away with cleaning your windows.

Make sure you do it right with these tips:

Use the Right Tools

To do the job right, you have to have the right tools for the job. This means arming yourself with a good squeegee and some dry microfiber cloths, as well as your window cleaning solution. Depending on your preference, you can opt to create your own cleaning solution or you can take advantage of commercial cleaning products.

Clean Everything

This means cleaning not just window glass but tracks as well. If you see dust and other debris has accumulated, brush or wipe these away first before using soapy water and a microfiber cloth to get to work. If a bit of buildup remains, you can use a cotton swab and some white vinegar to get rid of them. With a thorough clean, you can guarantee your window looks good from top to bottom.

Time It Right

It feels good when the sun is out but it’s not a good idea to clean your windows when it’s sunny because the heat can evaporate your cleaning solution. When they dry before you can wipe them off, cleaning solutions can leave streaks on window glass, which you then also have to clean. The best time to clean your windows is when it’s cloudy.
