Cleaning Glass and Mirrors

It's all well and good having clean windows, which, with a bit of time and effort, most homeowners can acquire. However, the trickiest part of getting a perfect window is ridding them of the irritating streaks and smears! To receive a clean, smear-free window there are few easy and effective ways to obtain this result. Try a few of the following and select the options that best suits you and your windows situation:

First of all you'll need to have a window-cleaning cloth at your disposal for the basic start of the cleaning process. Remember to always clean your windows on a relatively cool, cloudy, muggy or dull day, not on a hot, sunny summers day. The reason for is that you don't want window solution to try too quick, as this will inevitably result in streaks and marks.

To successfully remove that all-annoying bird-mess from the outside windows, heat up a small bowl or mug of vinegar and soak up an old cloth or rag of some sort. Once the cloth is soaked, simply scrub over the appropriate section to peel away the mess. This also works wonders on splashes of paint, both inside and out!

The most effective way to clean the inside of the window is to roll up an old newspaper into a cleaning cloth and wrap the cloth tight around it. Now, take the two and wipe the cloth over the windows, with the paper still inside, to receive a clean, smear-free window. The ink from papers writing is acidic and acts together with the cloth to produce a mixture to easily clean windows whilst simultaneously removing any grease, grime or dirt.

After using all the necessary procedures above depending on your windows conditions, give it a wipe down with a hot, soapy sponge or cloth to rid the windows of any excess dirt. Immediately afterwards, before the soapy water has dried, shower another dry cloth with a small amount of vinegar and wipe the entire window carefully to remove all the soapy bubbles, smear-free!

Once you've done all of this, simply polish your windows with standard glass-polish and clean cloth in the same direction with every light-stroke for a perfect window!
