Despite your best efforts, the glass around your Adelaide home gets dirty quickly. The surface renowned for showing up streaks needs constant care in order to sparkle and look presentable. Often the job is high on the light of jobs homeowners don’t want to complete themselves, as it is hard work, usually for little reward. Many people find, the more energy they exert cleaning the windows, the less likely they will look any good. If you want to ensure your windows sparkle every time you clean them, follow the simple steps below.

  1.  The first step to achieving sparkling windows is preparation. Before you start cleaning, assemble all your cleaning supplies you will need. For the clean you will need distilled water, white vinegar, spray bottle, a cloth, cotton swabs and soft toothbrush.   
  2. In the instance where you are cleaning glass windows in your home, you will need to cover the window sills with towels. Do not skip this step, especially if you have wooden windersills, as the water solution will cause damage.
  3. Now it’s time to start making the cleaning solution you will use on the windows. Open up the spray bottle and simple pour inside one part white vinegar and four parts distilled water. Screw the spray lid back on and give the mixture a shake.
  4. Grab your cleaning cloth and spray some of the cleaning solution onto it. There are a few different cloths you can use to accomplish a quality clean. Either a soft lint-free cloth or a micro-fibre cloth are ideal. It’s also a good idea to have newspaper at hand.
  5. With the solution on the cloth, apply it to the windows and rub the glass in circular motions. Concentrate on areas that have built up dirt to ensure you get rid of any marks. Once all the spots are removed, start wiping the entire window with vertical strokes. Next, follow with horizontal wipes to finish up, so the glass looks nice and shiny.
  6. Now it’s time to focus on the corners of the glass, which often get overlooked during a clean. Using either a soft toothbrush or cotton swap, clean the edges so allt he grime that has built up is removed.
  7. The last step is to buff the window. This will ensure any streaks that are currently present will vanish. Newspaper is the perfect thing to use to buff. There is something about the print that makes your windows streak free and sparkling. Make sure before you begin buffing that you wear gloves so none of the newspaper print ends up on your hands.
