Tips for clean windows
- Use any of paper towels, cloths, lint-free materials etc with homemade cleaners! Combine 2 tbsp of ammonia or white vinegar and 2 qt of warm water. You can also try ½ cup ammonia with a pint of 70% rubbing alcohol and 1tsp of liquid dish detergent, place in a gallon container and fill with water. Another effective option is 1 tbsp dishwashing liquid and 1 qt water. Another site claims 2 cups of water plus ¼ cup white vinegar and ½ tsp of dish detergent works wonders.
- Try using an old t-shirt or sock to clean windows. They leave very little lint!
- ‘Hard’ paper towels do better than soft ones—less lint.
- Here’s one everyone has heard of: newspaper. Find some packing newspaper (no print) for a streak-free shine. This one’s floated around the internet for years!
- Avoid cleaning windows in direct sunlight: direct sunlight can dry the cleaner before you can remove it, causing streaks!
- Rinse outside windows with clean water before applying the cleaner. This leads to less cleaner being used and the cleaner is more effective.
- Window washing squeegees can reduce streaks more than paper towels, newspaper, or cloth if you get the right one.
- To repel dirt you can apply floor wax to your windows. This will work in a similar way to our wax additive but the application can be tricky and messy.
These tips should help you take care of your windows in preparation for your kid’s memorable day. On this note, we’ll end it here by saying a big congratulations to your kids. The sky is their starting point!
