Windows are often the most ignored part of home cleaning, yet they play a big role in how fresh and bright your home feels. Clean, streak-free windows not only improve visibility but also enhance the overall appearance of your space. Let’s explore some simple and effective tips to keep your windows shining like new.

 1. Choose the Right Time to Clean

Avoid cleaning windows when the sun is directly hitting them. Sunlight dries up the cleaning solution too quickly and leaves streaks.

Best time: 1) Early morning  2) Late afternoon  3) Cloudy days

2. Use the Right Tools

You don’t need expensive tools — just a few essentials can do the job perfectly.

You’ll need:

• Microfiber cloth or squeegee

• Spray bottle

• Soft sponge or brush

• Bucket of warm water

3. DIY Natural Window Cleaner

Avoid harsh chemicals. A simple homemade solution can work wonders.

Try this mix:

• 1 cup white vinegar

• 1 cup water

• Few drops of liquid dish soap
  Mix it in a spray bottle and shake well.

4. Clean Window Frames and Tracks

Before cleaning the glass, always clean the window frames and tracks. Use an old toothbrush to scrub away dirt and dust, then wipe with a damp cloth.

 5. Wipe Glass Properly – No Streaks!

Spray your cleaning solution on the glass and wipe in a circular motion. Then use a dry microfiber cloth or squeegee to remove any leftover solution in a vertical or horizontal stroke.

Tip: Use newspaper for a streak-free shine — it’s old-school but works like magic!

6. Clean Inside and Outside Both

Cleaning only one side won’t give a clear view. If possible, clean the outside glass too. For high windows, use a long-handled cleaner or consider hiring professionals.

7. How Often Should You Clean Windows?

Ideally, clean them once every 2–4 weeks. But after heavy rain, storms, or construction work nearby, it’s good to clean them again.

 Final Thoughts

With just a little effort and the right method, your windows can stay spotless and crystal clear. Regular window cleaning doesn’t just enhance the look of your home — it also lets more natural light in and keeps the dust away.

Let the sunshine in — through clean, gleaming glass!
