Cleaning your home can sometimes cost a lot, especially if you decide to hire someone to do it. Also, if you prefer to buy expensive household chemicals and equipment to complete your task, then expect yourself to have some extra expenses. However, if you want to clean your windows the right way, and the budget-friendly way, then better learn some basic window cleaning secrets that you can definitely follow. With these simple ideas, you can have your windows cleaned in no time, and you don't have to spend a lot on materials and chemicals you need.
First, you have to inspect the conditions of the window you are cleaning. You must determine to what extent the dirt has developed on the glass. If there are signs of growth of mold and mildew, then you have to determine the kind of cleaning solution you will be applying to your window. A basic recipe for an anti-mold or anti-mildew window cleaning solution is made by mixing some baking soda with water to make a paste. You can apply this on the window ledge or window sill, or wherever you detect some fungal growth. You can leave this on for a few minutes, then you can rinse it off with a solution made with half a cup of water and half a cup of white vinegar.
Another one of the window cleaning secrets often recommended by experts is by using a natural sea sponge instead of the synthetic foam sponges for scrubbing the windows. Also, care should be taken when using abrasive materials on the window surface, as these can possibly cause damage to the paint on the sides of your window. After rinsing your window, it is best to use a dry lint-free rag to buff and shine. There are also commercially available synthetic chamois or shammies which leave no lint when wiped on the surface.
It is recommended to not wash the windows under direct sunlight, as this can immediately dry up your cleaning solution, and leave unwanted streaks on the glass. Windows should be cleaned at least twice a year, and it is more ideal if done every three months.
