Cleaning windows should be a clear-cut job for any homeowner. You grab a wet cloth, you wipe the frames and glass and you wait for it to dry out. In actuality, however, window cleaning isn’t that simple. In fact, if you want to clean your windows in an effective manner, there are a few tactics and techniques that you’ll have to apply. Surprisingly enough, some of these effective techniques can be rather unusual.
In this post, the window and roof repair professionals of Storm Master Inc. gives you six unusual tips that you can follow when cleaning your windows.
-
Clean Blinds With Tongs – When cleaning your windows, you’ll have to clean the accessories that come with it at the same time. One of these accessories are the blinds, which are dust magnets for any window. To clean the blinds at a faster rate, grab a pair of tongs and wrap each side with a microfiber cloth before securing them with rubber bands. Then use them to clamp down on the blinds and give it a quick swipe to remove dirt and dust.
-
Mop – If your home has tall windows, it can make window cleaning more difficult and complicated. Thankfully, there is a way to get around this. Attach a sponge mop to a pole and start cleaning it with soapy water before rinsing the windows with a hose. Once that’s done, use a dry mop fastened to another pole to remove the water and prevent water spots from drying on the glass’ surface.
-
Make Your Own Soap – According to window and roof replacement experts, homeowners like to use store bought cleaning solutions for their windows. You don’t necessarily have to do this as you can always make your own solution tough enough to remove grime by mixing dish soap and water. Alternatively, you can also use vinegar to clean the windows.
-
Lint Roller – On the other hand, if we’re talking about maintaining your windows on a daily basis, then consider using a sticky lint roller to remove dust and dirt from the window.
-
Magic Eraser – Surprisingly enough, it is possible to keep your window grime under control. To do so, make sure to buy an eraser pad and use it to give your window a quick scrub in between deep cleanings.
-
Rain Repellents – Meanwhile, for those who live in climates who see a lot of rain, you can use a rain-repellent treatment for the windows.
