Summer's here and now's the time we all start getting into that cleaning frenzy. Out come the rubber gloves, dust off the detergent bottles at the back of the cupboard and we clean for our lives. Take a look at your windows. During the hard winter, the last thing you'd want to do is clean windows. To be honest, it was probably the last thing on your mind. Who wants to be cleaning windows in the snow, frost and ice? Household ammonia or vinegar and a pint of warm water are the most economical way of producing a window cleaning solution. Some use a cloth or even newspaper applied with the solution to wash their windows. The choice is yours. Try both and see which method best suits. If you wish to wash your windows both inside and out, it's probably best to wash from one side to the other inside and from top to bottom outside. When cleaning outside, be careful and clean the frames first and wipe with a dry cloth after. You will be able to check for streaks and areas you may have overlooked. If using a rubber squeegee, hold it firmly, press downward and wipe the edge after each stroke. If you will use a cotton swab, dipped in the wash water, it will be easier to clean out the corners of the window frames. I would advise cleaning your windows approximately every 4 weeks to maintain cleanliness and a nice shiny appearance. If you have UPVC windows, you'll put your neighbours to shame if both your windows and frames are nice and clean and spot free. You can't really clean the brick work on the outside of your home (apart from jet washing them). The next best thing is to clean windows and frames. If you have your windows cleaned by a professional window cleaner, I would advise you to have them cleaned by a window cleaner that has a water fed pole. What is a water fed pole? When pure water is used by a professional window cleaner for window cleaning, the impurities on your glass are held in the water, as the pure water strives to return to its impure state. Your glass is then given a final rinse with the water fed poles to leave the glass totally sterile. A professional window cleaner would use a water fed pole that produces a high level of Pure water: from 1 to 30 ppm after the reverse osmosis purification stage (depending of the hardness of your water), and 0 ppm after the final stage which is the Dioniser. Pure water (0 ppm) leaves your window neat and clean. With spot free water, your windows dry spotless without the need of wiping the contaminates off. No detergent residue means that your windows do not get dirty so quickly, better still, your windows inevitably stay cleaner...longer.
