Window tracks can accumulate dust, dirt, and grime over time. To deep clean these areas, start by vacuuming loose debris with the narrow nozzle attachment. Next, sprinkle baking soda into the tracks, and then spray with white vinegar. Allow it to fizz for a few minutes before scrubbing with a soft-bristle brush. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
5. Squeegee Technique
Using a squeegee can make a significant difference in achieving streak-free windows. Start at the top of the window and work your way down in a continuous “S” motion. Wipe the squeegee blade with a clean, dry microfiber cloth after each pass to avoid smearing dirt.
6. Dry with Microfiber Cloths
After applying your cleaning solution and using a squeegee, it’s crucial to dry the windows completely. Microfiber cloths are highly absorbent and perfect for this task. They will remove any residual water and ensure a streak-free finish.
7. Regular Maintenance
Consistency is key to maintaining clean windows. Establish a routine where you clean your windows every few months. Regular cleaning prevents the build-up of dirt and grime, making each cleaning session quicker and easier.
By following these seven tips, you will be well on your way to having the cleanest windows on the block. Not only will your home look brighter and more inviting, but you’ll also enjoy the added benefit of clear, unobstructed views of the world outside. Happy cleaning!
