How to Clean the Window

Washing windows is one of those jobs that takes time and devotion. By choosing the right tools and techniques, the task can go much more quickly and produce better results.
Keeping your windows clean and sparkling is difficult. With fingerprints, dirt, and weather, sometimes it may seem like a losing battle.
If you throw in those window blinds, you may feel very overwhelmed. You need some fast window cleaning tips to keep your windows, window blinds, and mirrors clean and shiny. There are many different methods that will help keep your windows clean, sparkling and streak free.

Steps

Outside windows

  1. Gather all of your tools and supplies. Make sure you have all the necessary items at hand, to avoid doing a bad day's cleaning.

 

  1. Fill a bucket or dishpan with warm water and add a small amount of the detergent of your choice.
  2. Remove any windscreens that are hanging against the windows. Why clean the screens? You'll remove some of the dust that the next rainstorm will knock onto your windows. You'll also get rid of that stale window screen smell. To clean them:
    • Lift them out of their tracks and rub them together under a running hose
    • Rub them very gently with a rag or window wand.
  3. Remove any cobwebs you might see with an old broom or old cloth.
  4. Remove any excess dirt or dust from the outside windows with a garden hose. Rinse one window at a time, so that water spots don't dry on the windows.
  5. Clean the window frames thoroughly with a soaked sponge.
  6. Soak your sponge in the bucket filled with water and you can start cleaning your windows following one of these methods:
    • Start on the upper-left side of the window and make an s-shape downwards until you reach the bottom-right corner of the window.
    • Start cleaning the window from the upper-left corner and drag the sponge straight down. Use a chamois or a dry rag to remove any excess water from the squeegee and start cleaning the next line until you reach the right side of the window.
    • Don't forget to dry your squeegee with a chamois or dry rag after each stroke you've made. Otherwise, you will have visible lines on the window pane.
  7. Dry the window frames. After cleaning the window panes, dry off the windows using a chamois or dry cloth.

Inside windows

  1. Gather all of your tools and supplies.
  2. Fill a bucket or dishpan with warm water and add a small amount of the detergent of your choice.
  3. Lay a towel on the floor before you start cleaning the windows.
  4. Dust off the window frames using a duster or an old cloth.
  5. Clean the window frames thoroughly with your soaked sponge.
  6. Soak your sponge in water and start cleaning your windows following one of these methods:
    • Start on the upper-left side of the window and make an s-shape downwards until you reach the bottom-right corner of the window.
    • Start cleaning the window from the upper-left corner and drag the sponge straight down. Then using a squeegee, stroking downward from the top, remove the water. Move across the window with consecutive downward strokes. Use a chamois or a dry rag to remove any excess water from the squeegee and start cleaning the next line until you reach the right side of the window.
    • Don't forget to dry your squeegee with a chamois or dry rag after each stroke you've made. Otherwise, you will have visible lines on the window pane.
  7. Dry the window frames. After cleaning the window panes, dry off the windows using a chamois or dry cloth.

Alternative method

  1. Get a bucket of warm water. Warm water is able to remove grime and grit better than cold water, but hot water may make the window crack if it is cold outside.
  2. Get a bottle of rubbing alcohol. The alcohol is the effective cleanser in cleaning the window. Isopropyl rubbing alcohol is the right kind to use. Do not use wine or any other substance containing other alcohols, or otherwise Isopropyl not by itself.
  3. Collect paper towels. You want to create as little lint as possible, so use lint-free paper towels (or even toilet paper).
  4. Pour ¼ of the alcohol into the water.
  5. Allow to soak for one minute.
  6. Shake the alcohol to mix with the water.
  7. Dip half of the towel into the bucket.
  8. Wipe the window in straight and vertical lines.
  9. Dry with another paper towel, drying in the same way as you cleaned.
