Watermark

Every homeowner wants their windows and glass doors to shine, shimmer, and look splendid. However, achieving this without a magic solution can be challenging. Fortunately, with our professional cleaning tips, you can make even the dirtiest windows and glass doors look fantastic.

Materials Needed:

  • Soft-bristled brush: For removing dust and gunk from the deepest corners.

  • High-quality squeegee: Essential for streak-free cleaning. Opt for one with a replaceable rubber blade.

  • Small bucket or cleaning spray bottle: For easy handling of cleaning solutions.

  • Ladder: To reach the top of your windows and glass doors.

  • Rubber gloves: To protect your hands during cleaning.

1. Clean on a Cloudy Day

The best time to clean your windows and glass panels is on a cloudy day. While a bright sunny day reveals spots and residues, the sun’s heat can dry the washing fluid prematurely, causing streaks. On a cloudy day, the cleaning solution remains longer, ensuring a spotless finish.

2. DIY Cleaning Solutions

You don’t need expensive cleaners to get your windows sparkling. Here are three easy DIY solutions:

Solution 1:

  • ½ cup white vinegar

  • 2 cups distilled water

  • 10 drops of essential oil (e.g., lemon, peppermint)

Mix these in a spray bottle and shake gently.

Solution 2:

  • ¼ cup rubbing alcohol

  • 2-3 tbsp white vinegar

  • 1 cup distilled water

Combine the alcohol and vinegar in a spray bottle, then add water. Shake thoroughly.

Solution 3:

  • 16 oz hot water

  • A few drops of mild dishwashing liquid

Mix these in a bucket.

3. Start from Top to Bottom

Always clean from the top down to make the most of your cleaning solution. This method prevents streaks and ensures thorough cleaning.

4. Use a Squeegee

A squeegee is essential for achieving a streak-free finish. It removes all residues, unlike rags that may require re-wiping, leading to streaks. Squeegees are also great for glass doors and shower walls.

5. Use Old Tees or Newspapers

If you don’t have a squeegee, old cotton tees or newspapers work well. They’re absorbent and lint-free. Newspapers might leave ink on your hands, so wear gloves.

6. Protect Woodwork

Place a cloth on the windowsill to catch drips and protect woodwork from damage.

Conclusion

With these pro tips, cleaning your windows and glass doors can be a breeze. By using simple tools and DIY solutions, you can achieve a spotless, streak-free finish, giving you a fantastic view and a cleaner home. So next time you're ready to clean, follow these steps and see the difference professional tips can make
