Cleaning windows doesn’t have to be a pane-ful task. Here’s a quick and effective way to get your windows sparkling without the fuss:
Materials You’ll Need:
A bucket of warm, soapy water (a few drops of dish soap will do).
A squeegee with a clean, rubber blade.
A microfiber cloth or a lint-free towel.
A soft-bristle brush or a sponge.
Optional: A window cleaning solution or vinegar-water mixture.
Steps:
Prepare Your Cleaning Solution:
Mix your preferred window cleaning solution or a vinegar-water mixture in your bucket.
Dust Off The Window:
Before wetting the window, use a soft-bristle brush or sponge to remove dust, cobwebs, and loose dirt from the frame and sill.
Wet the Window:
Dip your squeegee into the soapy water and wet the entire window.
Start Squeegeeing:
Starting at the top, pull the squeegee down the window in a straight line, wiping the blade with a clean, lint-free cloth after each pass.
Wipe Edges and Sills:
Use a microfiber cloth or a separate, clean cloth to wipe down the edges and sills of the window.
Dry and Polish:
To prevent streaks, use a dry microfiber cloth to give the window a final wipe and polish.
Pro Tips:
Choose a cloudy day or work in the shade to prevent the cleaning solution from drying too quickly, which can lead to streaks.
Make sure your squeegee blade is clean and in good condition to avoid streaks and watermarks.
For extra sparkle, add a few drops of rubbing alcohol to your cleaning solution.
With this quick and effective window cleaning method, you’ll have crystal-clear views in no time, and you can save your superhero energy for other household tasks!
