Crystal-clear windows can transform any room, bringing in more light and creating a polished, welcoming look. But achieving that streak-free shine can be tricky! Here’s a simple guide to clean your interior windows effectively:
1. Gather Your Supplies
You’ll need:
A microfiber cloth or squeegee
A spray bottle filled with a 50/50 mixture of water and vinegar (or your favorite glass cleaner)
A soft, lint-free cloth for drying
2. Prepare the Windows
Dust around the frames and sills to prevent dirt from mixing into your cleaning solution. This step helps avoid streaks and smudges!
3. Spray and Wipe
Spray your cleaning solution generously on the window glass. Use a microfiber cloth to wipe in circular motions, focusing on any spots or smudges. Microfiber cloths are excellent for capturing dirt without leaving lint.
4. Squeegee for a Streak-Free Finish
For larger windows, use a squeegee. Start from the top and pull downward in smooth, overlapping strokes. Wipe the squeegee blade with a dry cloth after each pass to avoid water lines.
5. Buff with a Dry Cloth
After cleaning, use a dry, lint-free cloth to buff the glass. This step ensures a spotless, streak-free finish.
Bonus Tip
Clean windows on a cloudy day if possible. Direct sunlight can cause the cleaning solution to dry too quickly, leaving streaks.
With these easy steps, you’ll have sparkling clean windows that brighten any room. Give it a try and enjoy the view!
