We want the house to be beautiful and clean in spring. There is no way to clean the windows. This confuses some people. Why are there always these ugly clearing lines? Avoid the following mistakes and get bright windows.

Many people choose a cold and unpleasant day for cleaning so as not to miss a sunny day. However, if the temperature is below ten degrees, it is better to stay away from cleaning. At such low temperatures, water cannot evaporate fast enough and unwanted streaks appear on the glass. The same applies to cleaning in hot weather: Here too, streaks may appear as the product dries too quickly.

If the windows are finally clean, the rest should look pretty good too. Since a lot of water and cleaning agents are used during cleaning, the floor is often filled with dripping water. Therefore, it is recommended to cover the floor under the windows with a cloth. Tip: If you want to avoid the mess without a cloth, you can get a window vacuum cleaner that sucks dirty water directly, thus preventing water from dripping.

Yes, order plays a very important role. You should clean the frame first, then the window. After all, something could drip from the frame onto the window and all the window cleaning could be wasted.

Sponge and detergent are best. Then the frame should be dried with a microfiber cloth. Be careful with wooden frames: Use a small amount of liquid to prevent water from getting into the wood.

Technology is also very important! Never clean a window pane from bottom to top. From where? You’ll use way more dish soap than necessary and will likely end up with visible streaks. Start from the top and let the dirty water flow downwards.

You often use much more detergent than you actually need. As a result, colored spots appear on the glass. It is better to wash it again with clean water and remove it again with a rubber scraper. This means there are no so-called rainbow stains and your detergent lasts longer.

We always hear about the miracle cure for washing dishes: vinegar or newspaper for drying. But both home remedies are not recommended:

1. Vinegar can leave a bluish streak on the glass and can also damage window frames.
2. Newspapers are absorbent but can leave behind unsightly ink.
