Tips Regarding Window Cleaning

Even when you schedule regular professional window cleaning in the Inner, Northern, Southern, Eastern or Western Suburbs or elswhere in the Brisbane area, there are still some things that you can do to keep your glass looking its best between appointments. Here are some tips to help you keep your windows cleaner longer.

• Have your windows cleaned on the right days. All the days of the year are not created equal when it comes to window cleaning. In general, relatively warm days when there is little chance of rain are the best choice. You should also avoid cleaning windows on days when the water might freeze to the glass. Cleaning when the sun is at its highest point in the sky will speed the drying process.

• Use vinegar to remove stains. If you notice a stain on your window and don’t want to wait for your next professional cleaning, you can use vinegar to break apart the stain and remove it from view. Mix one part vinegar to one part hot water, soak a rag in this solution, and clean the window with the vinegar-soaked cloth. Work from the top down to avoid streaks and do this only if the stain is in an area you can reach safely.

• Use cloth, not paper. You may have heard people swear by paper towels or even newspaper to get a streak-free shine on their windows. This approach is not ideal. Not only will these materials leave fibres on your glass, but they can also be abrasive. When you’re spot-cleaning between professional cleanings, it’s best to use a soft cloth, towel, or sponge.
