Spring Cleaning: Windows



Window cleaning is an important part of getting your home ready to enjoy as summer approaches.  


The first step is to clean the glass.  We like to use a homemade solution that works better than any commercial product we have found.  


Window cleaning solution:
1 gallon warm water
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tsp. dish soap


Pour all ingredients into a bucket, wash windows with a clean sponge and use a squeegee to remove.  This solution will clean windows without streaks both inside and out.


Next, step is to clean the blinds.  We like to use Swiffer Dusters Extender because they make this process quick and easy.  



Start by closing the blinds so that they are facing you.  Take the Swiffer Duster and run it from top to bottom sweeping dust as you go.  Repeat the process until the entire face of the blind is dust free.  Next open the blinds again and use the duster to get any remaining dust from the surface of the blind.


Congratulations!  Now you can sit back and enjoy your sparkly clean windows.
