How to Clean Windows ?
|
|
Washing windows is one of those jobs that nobody
likes to do, but with the right tools and techniques, the task can go much more
quickly and produce better results.
|
A : Outside windows
Step 1 :
|
|
Gather all of your tools and supplies. Make sure
you have all the necessary items at hand, to avoid doing a bad day's cleaning.
|
Step 2 :
|
|
Fill a bucket or dishpan with warm water and add
a small amount of the detergent of your choice.
|
Step 3 :
|
|
Remove any windscreens that are hanging against
the windows. Why clean the screens? You'll remove some of the dust that the next
rainstorm will knock onto your windows. You'll also get rid of that stale window
screen smell. To clean them:
|
Step 4 :
|
|
Remove any cobwebs you might see with an old
broom or old cloth.
|
Step 5 :
|
|
Remove any excess dirt or dust from the outside
windows with a garden hose. Rinse one window at a time, so that water spots
don't dry on the windows.
|
Step 6 :
|
|
Clean the window frames thoroughly with a soaked
sponge.
|
Step 7 :
|
|
Soak your sponge in the bucket filled with water
and you can start cleaning your windows following one of these methods:
-
Start on the upper-left side of the window and
make an s-shape downwards until you reach the bottom-right corner of the window.
-
Start cleaning the window from the upper-left
corner and drag the sponge straight down. Use a chamois or a dry rag to remove
any excess water from the squeegee and start cleaning the next line until you
reach the right side of the window.
-
Don't forget to dry your squeegee with a chamois
or dry rag after each stroke you've made. Otherwise, you will have visible lines
on the window pane.
|
Step 8 :
|
|
Dry the window frames. After cleaning the window
panes, dry off the windows using a chamois or dry cloth.
|
B : Inside windows
Step 1 :
|
|
Gather all of your tools and supplies.
|
Step 2 :
|
|
Fill a bucket or dishpan with warm water and add
a small amount of the detergent of your choice.
|
Step 3 :
|
|
Lay a towel on the floor before you start
cleaning the windows.
|
Step 4 :
|
|
Dust off the window frames using a duster or an
old cloth.
|
Step 5 :
|
|
Clean the window frames thoroughly with your
soaked sponge.
|
Step 6 :
|
|
Soak your sponge in water and start cleaning your
windows following one of these methods:
-
Start on the upper-left side of the window and
make an s-shape downwards until you reach the bottom-right corner of the window.
-
Start cleaning the window from the upper-left
corner and drag the sponge straight down. Use a chamois or a dry rag to remove
any excess water from the squeegee and start cleaning the next line until you
reach the right side of the window.
-
Don't forget to dry your squeegee with a chamois
or dry rag after each stroke you've made. Otherwise, you will have visible lines
on the window pane.
|
Step 7 :
|
|
Dry the window frames. After cleaning the window
panes, dry off the windows using a chamois or dry cloth.
|
C : Alternative method
Step 1 :
|
|
Get a bucket of warm water. Warm water is able to
remove grime and grit better than cold water, but hot water may make the window
crack if it is cold outside.
|
Step 2 :
|
|
Get a bottle of rubbing alcohol. The alcohol is
the effective cleanser in cleaning the window. Isopropyl rubbing alcohol is the
right kind to use. Do not use wine or any other substance containing other
alcohols, or otherwise Isopropyl not by itself.
|
Step 3 :
|
|
Collect paper towels. You want to create as
little lint as possible, so use lint-free paper towels (or even toilet paper).
|
Step 4 :
|
|
Pour ¼ of the alcohol into the water.
|
Step 5 :
|
|
Allow to soak for one minute.
|
Step 6 :
|
|
Shake the alcohol to mix with the water.
|
Step 7 :
|
|
Dip half of the towel into the bucket.
|
Step 8 :
|
|
Wipe the window in straight and vertical lines.
|
Step 9 :
|
|
Dry with another paper towel, drying in the same
way as you cleaned.
