How To Clean Windows
Windows look best if they are cleaned on a regular basis, at least twice a year on the inside and outside. Here are some useful techniques for cleaning windows:
1. Use The Right Materials
While there may be many materials available for window cleaning, the old saying is true that “you get what you pay for”. Avoid the cheaper plastic cleaning materials, If possible, select hard-wearing materials such as squeegees made from steel.
Many professional chemicals are available that promise to make your windows shine. However, one simple solution available in every house is vinegar. A simple DIY solution made of one part white vinegar to two parts tap water is very effective.
Using these tools in combination with good quality microfiber cloths will make your windows look as good as new.
2. Avoid Damaging The Windows
Sometimes there is the temptation to use harsh materials on windows to remove stubborn stains. It can seem simpler and quicker to use harsh scouring pads or steel wool, even blades.
While they make the work pass more quickly you may be left with scratches and discoloration of frames that are difficult or impossible to reverse.

3. Remove Stubborn Stains
So how do you clean those hard-to-remove stains? This depends on the deposit on the glass. If it is general dirt or bird-droppings, it may be sufficient to soak it in water and vinegar for a few minutes.
If the deposit is oil-based, a standard dishwashing detergent may shift it. If the stain is mineral-based, such as lime, a stronger commercial chemical may be needed.
