Summer is the perfect time to get your windows cleaned. After numerous rainy days and pollen from trees and flowers and bugs activity, they can certainly use some freshening up.

The best way to get it done is by booking professional window cleaners. However, if you plan to do the job yourself, it’s crucial to ensure safety first, especially when working at heights. With this in place, we’ll share some great window cleaning tips and tricks to help you achieve sparkling results.

Soap and Water

Probably the most harmless, yet effective way of cleaning windows is by using dish washing liquid and warm water. It is a three-step process. First, you will need to use a sponge with the soapy solution. Once you’ve cleaned the spots and dirts from the windows use a clean cloth dampened in water only. This will remove any soap residue from the windows. The final polishing step would be to wipe with another clean and dry cloth. Go for cotton or microfibre.

Vinegar in Moderation

Some people prefer to use a little stronger solution with vinegar instead of soap. This is fine, but the vinegar must be used in moderation. In some cases, it may damage the window frames. Not to mention the smell, which will linger for some time after you finish cleaning.

Alcohol

Very similarly to the vinegar and water solution, spraying windows with alcohol is a very popular cleaning method. It does a fantastic job and makes the windows squeaky clean, plus it disinfects. Just like the vinegar, however, it is not suitable for all window frames and can cause trouble.

Newspapers

One of the most bizarre but effective window cleaning methods is using newspapers. Scrunch an old newspaper into a ball and use it instead of a sponge or a cloth. Spray with a good window cleaner and the rumour has it, you will be amazed by the results. This method is known to make your windows extra clear and glossy.

All these methods have their advantages, but like we said in the beginning, nothing beats professional window cleaning. What’s more it will take zero of your time and energy. And who wants to sweat over some windows while they can simply be enjoying the sunshine in your garden or balcony?
