Why Use Vinegar?
Vinegar is an eco-friendly cleaning agent that dissolves grease and stubborn dirt, prevents streaks, and leaves your windows sparkling clean. The best part? You only need a few simple ingredients, many of which you probably already have at home.
Cleaning Windows with Vinegar – Step by Step
- Preparation: Clear the area around the windows and place a drop cloth or towel on the floor to protect it.
- Prepare the Cleaning Solution: Mix warm water with vinegar in a 5:1 ratio. For tougher dirt, increase the ratio to 3:1.
- Remove Loose Dirt: Wipe away dust and loose debris from the window frames and glass.
- Pre-clean the Glass: Use a sponge to apply the vinegar solution and clean the glass with circular motions.
- Remove Excess Water: Use a squeegee to dry the glass. Wipe the squeegee after each pass to prevent drips.
- Polish: Dry and polish the glass with a soft cloth or paper towel until it shines.
- Clean the Frames: Wipe the window frames thoroughly and dry them to avoid water spots.
