Heres how to really get your windows to sparkle! But remember, before you start cleaning the glass it is a lot easier to clean windowsills and frames first. To do this, an ideal liquid solution to clean both wood and aluminium window frames is that of mild liquid dishwashing detergent combined with warm water. Use an old toothbrush to scrub into those hard to reach places, and when completed always rinse and dry with a cloth. When cleaning the glass there are numerous glass cleaning products available for you to purchase, however unless the windows are heavily soiled a cost effective way is to simply use a cloth and a bucket of warm soapy water. Work from top to bottom, and be sure not to make your windows so wet that they start dripping. As any professional will tell you, the key to keeping your windows clean for longer is not in the cleaning, but in the drying of the glass. Drying windows with paper towels or an old newspaper is one solution but can build a static charge on a window which makes it more likely to attract dust and will therefore dirty quicker. A good quality squeegee should keep your windows clean for longer if you follow this simple technique. First, make a horizontal draw across the top of the window to prevent drips. Next, start either side and draw the squeegee down to near the bottom of the window, leaving a small gap. Repeat the process along the window in a vertical pattern, overlapping strokes to prevent streaks and drying the squeegee after every stroke. Finally, finish by making another horizontal wipe across the bottom of the window. You can now wipe up any drips that land on the windowsill with a cloth.
