How to Clean Your Windows Like a Pro

One of the most important things homeowners can do is take care of their windows, especially if they are getting older. Windows that have been installed in a home for more than a decade likely need to be replaced, but windows of any age can easily look great, as long as the right steps are taken. Let’s face it, nobody wants to look out of a window that is covered in grime or gunk.

When you go to wash your home’s windows, you should be sure to use a cleaner that is made from mild or gentle ingredients. You do not want to do any permanent damage to the glass, or use a cleaner that will leave streaks or other marks behind. Using a sponge is also an important part of the process, as it will allow you to scrub heavily at any stains or marks that are currently on there.

Cleaning the windows is best done on a cloudy day. While the sunlight does make it easier to see any dust or particles that have built up on the window, the sun will also cause the water to dry too quickly, leaving streaks behind on the glass. A cloudy or cooler afternoon will make it possible for the water to actually soak and do its job, instead of simply drying in place almost immediately.
