Welcome to Tina's Clean Team blog, where we share expert tips and tricks to help you maintain a sparkling clean home effortlessly. Today, we're diving into the art of cleaning inside windows – a task that can elevate the ambiance of any room when done right. So, grab your supplies and let's get those windows gleaming!

  1. Gather Your Supplies: Before you begin, ensure you have all the necessary supplies at hand. You'll need:

    • Glass cleaner or a homemade solution (vinegar and water work wonders)

    • Microfiber cloths or lint-free towels

    • Squeegee

    • Bucket filled with warm, soapy water

    • Rubber gloves (optional)

  2. Prepare the Area: Start by removing any curtains, blinds, or decorations that might get in the way of cleaning. Lay down towels or a drop cloth beneath the window to catch any drips and protect your floors.

  3. Dust and Vacuum: Dusting and vacuuming the window area first will help remove any loose dirt, cobwebs, or debris. Use a soft brush attachment on your vacuum to gently clean the window frames, sills, and surrounding areas.

  4. Prep Your Cleaning Solution: If you're using a commercial glass cleaner, follow the instructions on the bottle. Alternatively, you can create your own effective cleaning solution by mixing equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Vinegar is excellent for cutting through grease and grime, leaving your windows streak-free.

  5. Apply the Cleaner: Liberally spray your chosen cleaning solution onto the window surface. Be generous, but avoid oversaturating – too much cleaner can lead to streaks.

  6. Wipe Away the Grime: Using a microfiber cloth or lint-free towel, start wiping the window in a circular motion, focusing on any areas with stubborn dirt or marks. For large windows, work in sections to ensure thorough cleaning.

  7. Squeegee Technique: Once the window is covered with cleaner and thoroughly wiped, it's time to break out the squeegee. Starting at the top corner of the window, pull the squeegee downwards in a smooth, straight line, overlapping each stroke slightly. Wipe the blade with a clean cloth after each pass to prevent streaks.

  8. Detailing: After squeegeeing, inspect the window for any remaining streaks or spots. Use a dry microfiber cloth to buff away any imperfections until the glass is crystal clear.

  9. Finish with a Flourish: For a final touch, run a dry microfiber cloth along the window frame and sill to absorb any remaining moisture and give the entire area a polished finish.

  10. Admire Your Handiwork: Stand back and admire your gleaming, streak-free windows! Bask in the satisfaction of a job well done and enjoy the enhanced brightness and clarity they bring to your home.

Cleaning inside windows may seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools and techniques, it can be a breeze.
