We all want our windows to look as spotless as the day they were installed (old or new). You can feel more connected to the outdoors when your windows are clean and allow more light into your home. However, it can be challenging to determine how to clean your windows without streaking or scratching them properly.

Steps to Cleaning Windows Without Streaking

Glass cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol should be avoided. Although they may seem like they’d give you a deeper clean, in reality, they can leave streaks and even a thin film that traps dust and moisture. To clean a tricky spot, you can apply acetone or rubbing alcohol directly to a cloth and blot it with it. After wiping it dry, you can clean your window as usual.

 

No matter how stubborn some stuck-on materials are, never scrape them off with a razor. Your windows will be left more vulnerable to breakage in the future if this causes permanent scratches.

 

Rubbing the solution with a soft, lint-free wipe is best. Microfiber cloths are ideal, but a clean paper towel can work as well. Make sure to rub in multiple directions to prevent streaking.

After cleaning your window, if you still notice streaks, simply rinse with clear water to help remove any remaining cleaning solutions.

Benefits of Cleaning Windows

 

An unhealthy home environment can cause allergies and respiratory illnesses. Living a healthful lifestyle will feel more energetic and zealous in pursuing your favourite hobbies and interests. By keeping your windows clean, you boost your health and let natural light into your home, boosting your mood.

 

In addition to keeping windows clean, here are a few additional benefits:

  1. Improve your home’s appearance.

A home with more natural light reflects its beauty more clearly.

 

  1. Make your windows last longer.

Aluminium screens can accumulate unwanted deposits, much like stubborn lime deposits cling to shower walls. Furthermore, etched glass looks unattractive and is prone to cracks and chips.

 

  1. Get rid of unhealthy mould in your home.

A mouldy spot appears as an unsightly dark spot on a window sill. Places that are warm and moist are conducive to mould growth. Condensation on windows can be a perfect breeding ground for mould. You might not notice mould growing between the glass and the casing of your window. Professional cleaning companies are accustomed to dealing with mould problems and can use chemicals and thorough cleaning to remove unhealthy mould from your windows and home.

 

  1. Improve your home’s air quality by reducing allergens.

You and your family are exposed to allergens such as pollen, dust, and dander on your windowsills. Symptoms can include headaches, fatigue, runny noses, coughing, sneezing, and itchy eyes. Having your home’s windows thoroughly cleaned by a professional will help to reduce allergens.

 

  1. Protect your home from insects and pests.

Your home should be free of wasps, ladybugs, and spiders. It is not uncommon for spiders to build nests in windows, which can be unsightly for homeowners and their guests. In your window corners and under your window sills, they can spin webs and catch insects. If your window screens attract flies and insects, spiders will find them easy prey. You can remove insect nests from your windows when you clean them.

 

  1. Early detection of window problems is crucial.

Services provided by professional window cleaners go beyond just cleaning windows. It is essential to repair painted shut sashes or incorrectly fitted window screens. A window integrity inspection also indicates the importance of repairing rotted wood around window sills, loose or broken window casings, or cracked windows as soon as possible.

 

The sooner problems are dealt with, the better for homeowners. People tend to overlook the deteriorating condition of their homes, resulting in more costly repairs and more time-consuming renovations.

 

  1. Avoid the dangers associated with broken windows.

Broken glass, defective locking mechanisms, and other window problems can cause accidents in the home. The possibility of falling is increased with old or faulty windows. Window falls cause over 5,000 injuries per year, so make sure your windows and locking mechanisms are in good working condition.

 

  1. All year long, keep your home safe.

You may also learn which windows need replacement if you have window cleaning done. For your and your family’s safety, you need to know about a window sash that is painted shut or challenging to open. If there is a fire, windows need to function correctly and open and close easily.
