Top Tips for Glass Cleaning

For many people, there is a cleaning job that they are afraid of for others: washing windows and glass doors. It's a waste of time, with multiple windows in each house and two sides of each window. It can also feel futile when you pour in hours of diligent washing, just to find out if your windows are still streaked or smelly.


In this article, we will take a closer look and hopefully answer some of the most common window cleaning questions.


What is the best household glass cleaner?

When it comes to cleaning glass, home remedies are often the best. A blend of soap, water and vinegar is generally accepted as an excellent Glass Cleaner as it breaks the grime and effectively reduces the stripes like brand-bought brands.


And not only are these red-the-keyboard mixes very effective, they are also cheap and convenient. You can play with the proportions or add extra ingredients like essential oils or even corn starch to maximize their effectiveness.


If you are looking for a good foundation, our preferred Glass Cleaning Spray solution is given below:

● 1 part rubbing alcohol

● 1 part vinegar

● 8 parts hot water


However, these are not the only common cleaning options for your home windows. People often ask if you can use washing liquid to clean windows. The short answer is yes, although it works well as an entry. Soap a particularly dirty window with a mixture of washing liquid and water, then rinse with a vinegar/alcohol solution to help reduce streaking.


                                             

Another common question is; Can you use malt vinegar to clean windows?

The answer is more subtle. If your glass is stained, or already dark in color, it is best to use malt vinegar, but white vinegar is usually best for window cleaning. The 'white' vinegar is actually clean so it should not stain the glass.


What is the best way to clean windows without streaking?

When you spend all that time washing your windows, it is frustrating to find that the glass is still stained even after it has dried. This can often be detected by two common mistakes, either using too much detergent or leaving too much water behind.


Fortunately, with the right tools and the right steps, it's easy to get a streak-free finish. To get started, collect these items, as well as your bucket and your cleaner:

A sponge

An extract

A towel

A dry microfiber cloth


Now, with all the tools you need at hand, follow our Streak Free Glass Cleaning Tips:


1. Mix the glass cleaner of your choice as instructed first.

2. Sprinkle your window with a little cleaner and leave it to work for a few seconds.

3. Swipe the scooter across the glass surface. Start at the top of the window pane, and jump down with strong, steady strokes. Here is the pressure key. If you are too soft, you will leave the water behind, too hard and you will find it difficult to move the squeegee.

4. After each swipe, run the squeegee over the towel to remove the dirty washing liquid.

5. Wipe the edges of the window with a dry microfiber cloth or rag. You can also use it to remove any stubborn fingerprints or scars. Just make sure you keep the fabric dry - it will leave streaks on the window if it gets wet.

6. Finally, take your towel and rub the window sill down to catch the dripping water. This can be a dirty thing, so it doesn't matter if the towel is already wet.


And to make sure your windows stay streak-free, here are our ultimate glass cleaning tips:


Try not to wash your windows when the sun is shining directly on them - they will dry out very quickly.

Choose the right size to squeegee for the window, it will help you to make stable contact with the glass.

Resist the urge to take out the pressure washer, at best they will give you a sky wash and a streaky finish. In the worst-case scenario, high pressure would damage the window.


What is the best cleaner for glass shower doors?

There are countless things to clean, such as dishes, clothes, and cars, shower doors. Not only are they hard to spot but they also usually get dirty quickly.


Along with the shower doors, Grim's film, which dulls the glass, is usually a mixture of hard water and soapy waste. Unfortunately, this build-up can cause permanent damage, causing cloudiness on the door surface. No amount of washing will clean it.


The safest thing to do is to prevent contamination. There are several home remedies for this, such as applying a small amount of car wax or furniture oil to protect the surface. Another good prevention strategy is to invest in a shower squeegee. They cost just a few pounds and thirty seconds spent turning off the water after a shower will keep your door cloud-free for a long time.
