Window cleaning: tips and tricks for cleaning without scratches
So that the
window
does not get ugly scratches
when
cleaning
, it is advisable to first brush off the worst dirt with a broom.
Then you can start with water and wash the window properly.
The best way to remove the
dirt
from the window is with a sponge.
It is important here
to clean
the
window
from the outside in, so to speak.
The
window frames
are often more soiled than the windows themselves. If you forget to clean the window frames, you will later smear dirt and grime all over the window.
You should also
rinse
the
sponge
thoroughly.
Otherwise
stones
could get
stuck and
scratch
the window while
cleaning
.
Cleaning windows is always allowed.
You can even wash at Christmas

Correct window cleaning: Tips for cleaning windows without streaks and streaks
If the first part of
cleaning
the
windows
is done, it is best to use a
puller
.
Simply pull the excess water off the pane horizontally
with the
slide
.
Every time the window is pulled off, the puller should be wiped off.
This is how the
windows
become really dry and sparkling clean.
If you don't have a puller at hand, you can of course also use a microfiber cloth.
The
pane of
the
window
should, however, be polished thoroughly with the cloth in order to achieve an optimal result.
A much recommended "
home remedy
"
When cleaning windows, simply use
newspaper
instead of a squeegee or microfiber cloth
.
With it you can polish windows in the same way and at the same time reuse the old newspaper.
But watch out: There is a risk that printing ink will come off here.
The printing ink can then
leave
dark marks on the
window frame
or
window sill
.
Therefore, it is better to use a
puller
or a
microfiber cloth
.
Cleaning windows in winter: - Beware of low temperatures
If it's very cold outside, this can
quickly become a problem
when
cleaning windows
.
Because the
cleaning agent
can freeze on the outside of the window if the temperatures are low enough.
It is therefore advisable
to use cleaning agents containing alcohol
, especially when
cleaning windows in winter
.
The formation of condensation after
cleaning
the
windows
should also be avoided.
Therefore, the apartment should be thoroughly ventilated again after cleaning the windows.
And if you are already fully
immersed
in the
cleaning of
the
house
, you should be aware of some nasty dirt traps * that are often overlooked.
