How to Clean windows

I am looking for tips because I will perosnally do some cleaning this week as we prepare for our christmas decors. I want our windows to be spotless , you know! So here, let me share with you what I found online. Great tips for mommies and daddies too !


•Wash one side of a window with horizontal strokes and the other side with vertical strokes so you can pinpoint which side of the window has a streak.


•Use a squeegee on a long handle or a sponge/squeegee combination to prevent streaks on large windows.


•Eliminate tiny scratches on glass by polishing the affected areas with toothpaste.


•Washing windows should be done on a cloudy day, because direct sunlight dries cleaning solutions before you can polish the glass properly.


•Use a soft toothbrush or cotton swab to clean corners.

•To give an extra shine to window glass, polish it with well-washed cotton T-shirts or old cloth diapers. Or rub a clean blackboard eraser over a freshly washed and dried window to give it a diamond-bright shine.


•Polish windows to a sparkling shine with crumpled newspaper. The paper also leaves a film that's resistant to dirt.


•Wash windows from the top down to prevent drips.


•R­ememb­er that window cleaners pose a threat to woodwork. Don't let them drip on the windowsill where they can harm the paint or varnish.
