Your windows ensure that you get a good view of the area surrounding your home and they also fulfil an important aesthetic role. Windows also work like filters that keep grime, dust and pollen outside the building, but while exposed to dirt particles, some of that dirt inevitably settles on the exterior window surfaces. Here is a method that allows you to clean your windows efficiently during and after the pollen season:
- Pick the right time – it is not a good idea to clean windows when the sun is shining directly on the window – the sunshine will blind you and it will also dry your cleaning liquid too quickly, leaving stripes and spots on the window;
- Dry wiping is first – adding water to dust and pollen will create a mud-like substance on the window that is very hard to remove. To avoid that, wipe the window surface to be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth and add moisture only when the panes and the frame are free from dust;
- Spray the surface to be washed, then wipe clean – apply a generous amount of cleaning liquid from a spray bottle and use a paper tower to wipe off the foam. If necessary, repeat the spraying and wiping until the window is completely free from spots and stripes. It may even be time to have a Denver replacement windows expert out to see about new window installation.
