Cleaning windows is one of the most important tasks in your household cleaning routine. Everyone wants to have sparkling clean windows, but not everyone knows how to get them.
The easiest way is to use expensive window cleaning detergents or to get them professionally cleaned. If you don’t want to spend money on cleaning services, you could try our window cleaning tips.Tip 1: Always use the right tools

Having the right tools in hand could help you clean your windows effectively in no time. Keeping those tools at home will make window cleaning a much easier job:

• Spray bottle
• Microfibre cloth or crumpled newspapers
• Long handled hose and brush

Tip 2: Choose the best time

You all know that you should not clean your windows on a day you are expecting rain. But you should not clean them on a very sunny day either. When the windows are exposed to direct sunlight, the cleaning solution will dry too fast and make window cleaning a tough job.

Tip 3: Brush first

Chelsea expert cleaners advise to brush off the dirt build-up before applying the cleaning solution. Never brush a dry window, to avoid scratching it. Wet the window with mild soapy water first, and allow it to soak in and loosen the debris. Then use a soft brush to remove all the build-up dirt from the window. Pay special attention to the outside of the window and the window corners.

Tip 4: Directions

When cleaning multiple windows, always work from top to bottom, left to right. This will stop dirt from spreading from the dirty parts back to the already cleaned ones.

Tip 4: Dry your windows properly

When you are finished cleaning the window, you should dry it carefully. Never use cotton or paper towels, as they could leave terrible lint marks on windows. It is best to use a crumpled newspaper or a microfibre cloth.

You will see how those simple 5 tips will make window cleaning a much easier job for you. You could also use all of them for cleaning mirrors too.
