Cleaning large windows has always been a problem for everyone, both in terms of time and practicality, because it is difficult to get to remove dirt from the corners or from the upper parts, especially if you do not have the possibility of using a ladder.

Cleaning large windows

Yet having clean, transparent, streak-free windows is important not only for shops that require an excellent business card, but also for homes.

The washing and drying process must be done properly and in the shortest time possible , to avoid leaving streaks or unsightly stains.

Quick and easy glass cleaning steps

The cleaning process can be done easily and quickly if you use a very simple method, applying very valid tricks at zero or almost zero cost. The secret is the following: cleaning is divided into 4 phases, the first is the removal of dust, cobwebs, animal hair, etc.

The second is the pre-wash, the third is the actual washing, and the last phase is drying. As for the first phase, you need to take a fairly long stick to which you attach a clean cloth, which you rub delicately along all the windows to absorb dust and any dirt that has dried.

Once finished, wet the cloth with a detergent and then move on to the second phase. With the appropriate detergent, any stains or encrusted dirt are removed. During this phase, you must be careful to pass the cloth evenly to remove all traces of dirt without leaving any.

Finally, we move on to the last phase, that of drying , which must be done as quickly as possible, perhaps using chamois leather that will absorb the water, without leaving any marks that can then be difficult to remove in other passes.

Detergents to use for cleaning glass

As for detergents, you can use those suitable for cleaning glass or a degreaser or any other product that, however, generally costs a lot and is bad for your health because they are obviously chemical substances.

Or, using the right cloth, you can also use homemade cleaners with ammonia or white wine vinegar and baking soda. These are combined with warm water and together they give results that no one would ever expect. 

As for the mix of warm water and baking soda, it is prepared as follows. Put warm water and a teaspoon of baking soda together in a spray bottle , then shake well to mix the two ingredients. Then, wet a sponge in the solution, then wring it out well and pass it over the entire glass.

Now it’s time to dry. To dry high windows you can also use simple newspaper sheets that absorb water and do not leave stains. The sheets should be attached to the handle and then rubbed properly. In this way, cleaning windows, even the highest and most difficult ones, is not a problem, but rather child’s play.

Alternatives for cleaning windows

Those who don’t want to spend days cleaning windows , especially if there are many of them, and are afraid of not being able to get a good result, can also ask for help from a cleaning company that in a few minutes will make the windows as good as new.

Obviously the cost is quite high, so if you have the possibility it is better to do it yourself following the advice given, still obtaining excellent results at a low price or for free. In the end it will be as if the cleaning had been done by an adequate company.
