With Spring in the air come new opportunities and we believe March is a perfect month to start some home projects. Let’s take window cleaning as an example. Nothing screams more ‘Spring is here!’ than sun shining through and into your house. Warmer weather finally allows us to keep those crystal clear windows wide open and enjoy the fresh breeze. Doesn’t it sound lovely? But wait, you haven’t cleaned your windows yet!

We understand that grime and soot that cake up your windows over the winter months makes you dread the cleaning part.  It’s a chore that many of us try to put off. However, one should wash the windows at least twice a year. Many homeowners insist on using paper towels, spray cleaner, and a ton of elbow grease. But, if you do it right, you may just find yourself eagerly cleaning your windows several times this year!

So take our advice and make window cleaning a breeze! Here are 3 Easy Tips for Window Cleaning:

3 Easy Tips for Window Cleaning

1. Screen the weather. It’s best to clean your windows over 3 days of little-to-no wind gusts. You need sunshine and no rain to have a good read on how clean your windows are getting as you work.
2. Use the BEST window cleaning solution. 1/4 Cup Vinegar, 1/2 Teaspoon Liquid Soap or Detergent, 2 Cups Water, 1 32 oz. Spray Bottle. Combine vinegar, liquid soap or detergent, and water in the spray bottle, then shake to blend.
3. IMPORTANT: USE A SQUEEGEE! Rubbing your windows with paper towels too much just pushes dirt around and it can create a static charge on the window. You don’t want to attract more dirt by doing so, do you?!

If your windows appear to be dirty or film-over too quickly from the inside, it might be time to change the filters on your air conditioner or furnace. Modern day homes are air tight and tend to trap more pollen, dust, dander and other pollutants.
