After being cooped up with all the bad weather that we have had during the Winter months and Spring at our hands touch, it is time once again, to clean up our clutter and organize our homes. One of the most important things that bring light and warmth into our homes are our windows. I have to admit between cleaning out closets and nooks, windows is one of my least favorite chores to do. Preparing to clean your windows can be a task within itself. If, you have long tall windows as I do, you will find that you have to pull out your extension ladder along with your water hose to make things easier.
As I find myself getting older and having trouble with vertigo, I get a little nervous about climbing ladders.You cannot clean windows alone unless you are lucky enough to have them at ground level and at hands reach.When cleaning your windows you need to start outside first as cleaning your screens to remove bugs and debris first, will save you time in the long run. I have found that the car brush is very handy in cleaning of the screens. Just make sure the bristles are nice and soft.
What time of the day is the best time to clean my windows? Well, early morning and late afternoon when the sun is not the brightest will be your best time to clean. What cleaning products work the best? Well, any ammonia based product is the best, but here is homemade recipe that will do the trick using products you already have in your home. Also, finding the right paper towel can be tricky.There are few non-lint paper towels out there but I choose to use newspaper instead.
Homemade Glass Cleaner
Ingredients
1 cup rubbing alcohol
1 cup water
1 tablespoon vinegar
Using isopropyl alcohol and white vinegar together makes a quickly evaporating spray glass and mirror cleaner that competes with national brands. This can also be used to give a nice shine to hard tiles, chrome, and other surfaces.
Good luck my friends!!
