Let’s be honest – cleaning windows isn’t exactly on the top of everyone’s list of fun chores. But nothing transforms a space quite like sparkling clean windows. They brighten your rooms and instantly make your home look and feel fresher.
With sunny days predicted all week, it seems like the rainy weather is finally behind us – hooray! After months of rain, your windows have likely taken a beating and could use a little TLC.
If you’re planning to list your home for sale in the new year, then this is a must! Not only do clean windows let in an abundance of natural light, but they also create the illusion of larger, more open spaces by banishing those gloomy corners.
Ready to get started? Here are a few quick and easy tips to get your windows gleaming in no time:
-
Use distilled water. Unlike regular tap water, distilled water is free of minerals that can leave streaks and spots on the glass.
-
Try a natural vinegar-water solution. This simple yet powerful mix is a great alternative to store-bought cleaners. Bonus: it’s eco-friendly, so you can feel good about using it in your home.
-
Wipe with newspaper. Instead of tossing out your morning paper, put it to work! After spraying your chosen solution, scrunch up some newspaper and use circular motions to achieve a streak-free finish.
-
Don’t neglect the outside. Make sure to clean the exterior of your windows, including screens, which often collect dust and debris.
Follow these tips, and your windows will be looking better than ever – letting in that glorious sunlight and making your home shine.
