Easy Tips To Maintain Sparkling Clean Windows
Keeping your windows sparkling clean doesn’t have to be a chore. With a few simple habits, you can enjoy clearer views and brighter rooms all year long.
Here are our top beginner tips:
- Dust Regularly: Use a microfiber cloth to gently remove dust and cobwebs from window sills and frames. This helps prevent buildup and makes your next cleaning more effective.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight When Cleaning: Cleaning windows in direct sunlight can cause streaks. Aim for a cloudy day or shade-covered side of the house for best results.
- Use a Gentle Glass Cleaner: Avoid harsh chemicals. A solution of water and a drop of dish soap or vinegar can work wonders. Wipe with a lint-free cloth or a squeegee for a streak-free shine.
- Don’t Forget the Screens: Dirty screens can undo all your hard work. Rinse them gently with water and let them dry before placing them back.
- Schedule Professional Cleaning Seasonally: For high windows, hard water spots, or large glass panels, consider hiring professionals. A seasonal cleaning keeps your windows looking their best and extends their life.
💡 Pro Tip: If you live near Lake Chelan or in areas with lots of dust or pollen, windows may need a bit more TLC—especially in spring and fall.
