How to Clean Windows
Windows provide one of the most essential characteristic expressions of your home. They provide your home with adequate natural lighting as long as there are enough windows to allow you to let light in during the daylight hours, without the use of artificial lighting. They also allow for proper ventilation. However, to make the most of your windows you will need to clean them on a regular basis.
Washing Your Windows
Some may consider that washing windows is an unrewarding chore. However, it does help to draw more sparkling light into your home. Here are some great technique and tool tips that can enable you to wash your windows easily.
DIY - Homemade Glass Cleaner
You will need a spray bottle, 3 tablespoons of either lemon juice or vinegar unless you prefer to use vinegar. Add the liquid measurement to the bottle and then add water. Shake well.
Cleaning Your Windows with Vinegar
This is a simple and easy remedy for eliminating the streaks that you may find after using plain vinegar to clean your windows. Interestingly, the chore of cleaning windows caused a great number of eco-friendly consumers to begin using the more natural ingredients. Those items we use on a regular basis rather than to continue using toxic chemical cleaners in their homes.
Clean Windows with Lemon
You can use the fresh scent of one of nature's most interesting fruits, the lemon for cleaning your windows. It is an all-natural means of helping your windows clean!
Clean Windows like a Professional
You will need one, 12-inch brass squeegee similar to those that professionals use. Ask at your local hardware store to find out if they have them available. These tools are not hard to find. It features a simple T-shape and work quite well. Nothing more elaborate is well suited for home use.
You will also need a pail and some liquid dish washing or laundry detergent. Remember not to use too much detergent, since you do not want suds going in all directions.
Immerse your sponge into the soapy water, allowing it to absorb enough water to cover the window with out too much of an overflow. Using the squeegee you will press down as you glide it from top to bottom of the window. You will follow a pattern of top to bottom in lines that just barely overlap the area you just cleaned and then stop in the same place.
Clean Mirrors & Glass without Chemicals
In my opinion, you really do not require the use of toxic chemicals in order to clean your mirrors, glass or windows. Using a mild liquid detergent is all you really need. There are various environment friendly techniques of cleaning windows, mirrors and glass. However, some are much more efficient to use and offer better results than others can.
Clean Windows without Using Glass Cleaners
You can easily achieve a sparkling shine when you clean your windows using Isopropyl rubbing alcohol. It is green rubbing alcohol. Do not use white alcohol or any other type of alcohols such as wine to take care of this household chore. Once you have completed this job, you can stand back and proudly enjoy your handy work, while knowing that you are doing your part to save our environment.
