Cleaning windows is one of the least popular household chores. There's a good reason for that. Because windows are transparent, every stain is quickly visible. Many shy away from the considerable amount of work involved in cleaning the entire surface. But that is not necessary at all. Here are 7 tips that will make window cleaning a bit easier.
Remove dirt first
When cleaning windows, you should always remove the coarse dirt first. Be sure to wipe the window frames as well. For example, you can do this with a sponge. If dust and pollen cover the window, they can be easily brushed off with a soft broom and then cleaned with a wet cloth.
Always pull from top to bottom
When cleaning windows, the sweeping direction is crucial. It is best to pull the window and the tiles in a straight line from top to bottom. The less the trigger has to be removed, the better.
Use a scraper
Very strong dirt that cannot be removed with the cleaning agent can be removed with a scraper for the ceramic hob. Please note:no knives or spatulas should be used, as these will scratch the glass.
Use lukewarm water
Windows should always be cleaned with lukewarm water. Water that is too hot reduces the cleaning power of the cleaning agents.
Rub the windows with nettle leaves
Windows that have been in the building for decades can become 'blind'. As a result, you no longer have a clear view. You can save these windows with a simple trick:rub your blind window with fresh nettle leaves. You should always wear gloves to protect yourself.
Use tights
Windows that are cloudy after lapping need a little polishing. You can use discarded nylon tights for this, which give the windows a new shine.
Do it at the right time
When cleaning windows, make sure it's the right time. Light sunshine provides ideal conditions for window cleaning, as the windows dry in the blazing sun during washing and this leads to unattractive streaks.
