Tips for Cleaning Your Windows

Let us be honest, we hardly manage to clear the outside of our windows once or twice a year because it is so much of a hassle. No matter how many times during the year we would have been cleaning the inside of the windows, we procrastinate when it comes to the outer side. It is generally better if you give a cleaning touch to your window once or twice a month as it will help you to maintain the quality of your window. So if you have finally decided to do this house cleaning task, here are some guidelines on how you can easily get the job done.

Remove the window screen
Before you start the job, you need to remove the window screens from the frames. This is the only step in the entire procedure that will take much of your time. If the windows go up to the ceiling so you would need a ladder to do the needful. Make the way to the ladder in the room and climb up to remove the windows. Its safe and advised to have someone hold the ladder while you climb and pass the window screen to your partner to safely lay it down. While you are taking out each window screen, remember to mark it accordingly so later you know which screen belongs to the frame.

Gather your equipments
The next step is to gather all the things that you will need to clean the window screens. Most important of all, you will need a window cleaning agent. You can easily get one from the departmental store, but most of them do not give the result as they claim. They tend to leave streaks over the windows. You can make one at your home by using a tablespoon of dishwashing detergent with a gallon of water. Make sure you do not add too much of detergent as it will result in leaving marks.
