Best Way to Wash a Dirty Window

Dirty windows can make the entire outside a house look dingy and unkempt. Using brand name products is not always the answer to such a job. There are products, if used properly and with the right tools, do precisely what they promise. More often than not, this is not the case as most people have found out.

The best way to wash a dirty window is with the household products already in the cabinet and for most people, under the kitchen sink. Some vinegar can be found in homes at some point or another. Using vinegar can leave a streak-free shine. It can be diluted with some water or used straight out of the bottle.

Don't worry about the smell, it will go away within a few moments. It's best to clean with vinegar in a well-ventilated area. Ammonia also has some excellent cleaning properties when it comes to really dirty windows. It cuts through grease and grime. A good mixture of both ammonia and vinegar, diluted with some water will leave a clean, clear  window every time.

The tools used in cleaning a window are as important as the solution used. Newspaper is the best and cleanest source to take on this job. If no newspaper is handy, the second best thing to use is some cheap paper towels. No one wants to use their best paper towels to clean a window. A kitchen sponge can be used to apply the solution, but after using the sponge a paper towel or newspaper can be used to wipe off any excess solution.

Using a clean spray bottle for the vinegar solution is a good idea for those that don't mind getting really messy. It's a cheap, easy and simple way to avoid major messes. It's no crime to get a bit sloppy when cleaning windows, just don't go overboard and soak the floor. A clean window can leave an entire room feeling brighter, looking better and will give the home a comfortable aura. Cleaning windows may be a pain, but the cheerfulness this job brings to a home and family is well worth time and effort.
