For years and years, nosotros battled trying to get the outside of our windows clean. They just never looked crystal clear. A filmy residue and often chalky streaks would remain once the windows stale. We tried a variety of window cleaners from homemade to shop bought concoctions, also as using newspaper instead of paper towels with not much success.

That all changed when we learned most the all-time outside window cleaner ever.

We had been working on updating a bathroom and ordered some new mirrors. While the glass guys were here installing the mirror, my married man, Randy, got to chatting with them, equally he normally does, nigh how their business was going. During their chat he happened to enquire them what they use for cleaning glass. Did they have any professional tips or tricks? Yes, they did!

They shared a unproblematic recipe for what they have establish to work. They swore by it. We had already tried but using a simple combination of vinegar and water, but they learned a trick from a commercial window cleaner: add a little dish detergent to the vinegar/water mixture. Actually? That simple? It was new to usa, and it sounded much also piece of cake.

And then we tried information technology (or should I say Randy tried information technology) correct away. Randy set out only to test a few windows and the adjacent thing I knew he had worked all the way effectually the house, and was already working on some of the upstairs windows besides. In that location was an firsthand deviation, and then much easier than what we had tried in the past.

It was so bright inside nosotros had to wear shades. I crack myself upwardly.

The mixture below, is super simple and used with a soft bristle castor and hose. That'due south it. No more piles of used newspaper towels, no ladders, just clarity. I'm planning on trying the same mixture on all kinds of things exterior that demand de-grungifying.

Keeping the shades on. The future is definitely gonna exist brighter around here, y'all. Happy cleaning!

How to Make The Best Window Cleaner

Instructions

  1. Combine water, white vinegar and dish detergent in a bucket. Increase amounts every bit needed.
  2. Using a soft bristle scrub brush  on an extension pole handle thingy , dip the brush in a bucket of the solution, and scrub it on the window.
  3. Earlier information technology has a take a chance to dry out , spray/rinse information technology off with clean water. Be certain to rinse thoroughly. A hose fitted with a sprayer attachment  is helpful.

Notes

The solution could be made and used in a spray canteen, but we found working on lots of windows, the saucepan and scrub castor worked swell.

To avoid the need for a ladder (because ladders are the well-nigh dangerous tool in the box) Randy used an all-purpose extension pole with a threaded end that enables you to adhere different brushes, rollers, etcetera. (Similar to this 1 . )

Use a soft bristle scrub brush . A sponge mop may also work.

This definitely works for outside windows, where you can safely rinse with h2o. I have yet to try it indoors, but if you do, make sure you can rinse with enough of h2o. Maybe one spray bottle of solution, and a separate spray bottle of clean h2o?

Again, be sure to rinse thoroughly, and earlier the solution has a chance to dry on window . It's helpful to avoid windows directly in the sun, then they are not hot and don't every bit speedily.
