Fall is the perfect time to pull out the window washing materials and give the windows around your home a good cleaning. Having clean and streak-free windows can be especially appreciated on days when the sun is shining high in the sky on a cool fall day.
As a leading installer in replacement windows, Renewal by Andersen® of Central Pennsylvania has put together below some useful tips to remember when cleaning your windows this fall:
Before you clean your windows, you should always remove dust and clean the frames around them. You’ll keep dirt from adhering while you wash your windows, letting you avoid the risk of duplicating the work you have to do.
Of course, you wouldn’t want to wash the windows on a rainy day. However, cleaning on a sunny day is also not recommended as it dries out cleaning products used on windows too quickly, which can leave marks. A nice overcast day is your best bet for a perfect time to clean your windows. This way, the sun doesn’t dry your cleaning solution too fast, leaving you with streak-free windows.
Proper window washing means more than just using a roll of paper towels and a bottle of Windex. You’ll need to invest in good equipment such as a squeegee, a window washing solution, a bucket and a strip washer. Microfiber cloth is also perfect for cleaning windows because it doesn’t leave traces unlike rags, which leave fibers and unwanted traces. If you want to have flawless windows, use two microfiber cloths. This way, you’ll have one to clean and another to wipe off any remaining residue.
White vinegar is actually the go-to product for window cleaning, since it’s very effective against stubborn dirt, leaves no trace and can also keep flies away. Just mix equal parts vinegar and hot water, cleanse, and you’re good to go.
