Over time, windows can develop some mold and mildew deposits that can be damaging if left untreated. Also, if windows are often exposed to rains, then glass stains are often a big problem. What should any wise homeowner do to clean his windows and keep them protected for a long time? Aside from preparing the right cleaning equipment and tools to get the job done, you should also have the right window cleaning solution to get rid of your window stains.
Window cleaning solutions can be store bought, as there are dozens of different brands to choose from. However, many homeowners believe that these commercial window cleaners are toxic and can be dangerous if not handled with care. Also, those who want to clean their windows on a budget don't exactly look to commercial window cleaners or glass cleaners as they can be expensive, especially if there are lots of windows and glass around the house.
To find out what kind of homemade window cleaning solution to use, first determine the extent of cleaning that should be done. Check your windows and all the parts. Find out if the glass has mineral deposits from rain, or if the sills and frames have mold and mildew growing on them. Once you've figured this out, then you can decide on which recipe for homemade cleaning solutions you can follow.
For mild cleaners, use some warm water with about half a cup of cornstarch. Rub this solution onto your window, rinse, then buff with a dry towel. This cleaner is safe for your hands as well. For stains that are a little tougher, mix a tablespoon of dishwashing liquid with a gallon of water with a fifty-fifty ratio of ammonia and white vinegar. The dishwashing liquid or detergent helps get rid of mineral stains on glass, while the ammonia and vinegar act as powerful cleaners and disinfectants.
