Warmer weather is finally on the way, so it is the perfect time to ensure your windows and doors are sparkling clean! A good door and window cleaning boosts the aesthetic appeal of your home and contributes to its energy efficiency and durability. This guide will help you get your windows and doors in tip-top shape.
Necessary Cleaning Tools
Equipping yourself with the right cleaning arsenal is the first step towards a successful spring cleaning. Here’s what you’ll need:
- A vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment or a gentle, soft-bristled brush for removing dust.
- Mix mild soap and water or a vinegar solution for a streak-free finish.
- A squeegee is ideal for a streak-free finish.
- Soft, lint-free cloths or microfiber towels for drying and polishing.
Step-by-Step Guide
Start with the Frames and Sills
Kickstart cleaning with the frames and sills, which are crucial areas that often have dust and debris. Gently brush or vacuum these areas before wiping them with your chosen cleaning solution. Focus on the nooks and crannies where dirt loves to hide.
Make Your Glass Shine
Mix one part vinegar with one part water for an eco-friendly solution that cuts through grime and leaves windows streak-free. Apply the mixture, then glide a squeegee across the glass for a spotless finish. Don’t forget to give the exteriors a preliminary rinse with a hose to tackle any surface dirt.
Screen Care
Screens play a big part in your windows’ appearance and the air quality inside your home. Remove, wash with gentle soap solution, rinse well, and dry them thoroughly to maintain clarity and health.
Door Detailing
Apply the same cleaning care to your doors, especially if they include glass elements. A damp cloth and soap solution work wonders on glass and solid doors. Remember, door handles need love, too!
