Cleaning windows is one of the most tedious cleaning tasks, that we often put on hold. However it improves the look of your house, your health and also continues to provide better functionality. Grime and dirt may cause smells, or issues with the function of  the windows therefore it is good to look at getting things sorted. Some window frames are still incredibly old, and therefore are more prone to other issues, such as pests. If this is the case, you should consider looking at pest control. 

Cleaning Your Windows Is Important For Health And Aesthetics

Window cleaning is not to be done daily but experts recommended to clean the windows thoroughly once every two to three months. To maintain thorough cleaning, the windows are sprayed with glossy spray every two weeks, for quick cleaning of the accumulated dust and for polishing the windshield. To clean windows thoroughly, but no less important, easy, it is recommended to prepare in advance some items that will be used with you while cleaning: 

1. Vacuum cleaner or hair dryer 
2. Several clean and dry cloths 
3. Bowl with water and a little dishwashing liquid 
4. Snow Clear spray for cleaning snow filled windows
5. Metal knife, not a sharp one

Let's start dismantling the windows. Most sliding windows are removable, and newer windows are built-in for easier and simpler cleaning. The hard dirt - dust, soot and animal excrement will be cleaned with a cloth and soapy water. Do not be tempted to clean the windows with a brush or anything that can scratch the glass and profile, wash the windows thoroughly and wipe with a dry, clean cloth. We clean the shutters with soapy water and a dishwashing sponge, rinse with clean water and let them dry in the sun. With all due care to windshields and shutters, window rails are a serious problem. The rails accumulate dust and dirt and are difficult to clean because they are so narrow. So how do you get into these nooks and crannies to ensure all specs of dirt are gone?  

Go through with a vacuum cleaner with a narrow mouth on the rails and vacuum the big dirt - dust curls, leaves and so on. If you do not have a vacuum cleaner, a regular hair dryer will do the job, instead of a vacuum cleaner it will blow what is needed. This is a great way to suck out all the dirt without having to stretch, reach or use other equipment. Wrap a damp cloth with a little detergent on a brush and pass inside the rails, you can add a little detergent as needed. Next, we will replace the wet cloth with a dry, clean cloth and go over the rails to absorb the liquids and polish the rail. Meanwhile, the window panes are dry and clean but not shiny. Go over them with snow clear window spray and a dry cloth. Although the old myth recommends polishing the window with a newspaper, or lemon juice. These ways are still effective although a little more primitive!
