How to clean windows properly? Timing is key.
Window cleaning sounds self-explanatory, but it isn't always. In fact, there are a number of things to consider.
First of all, the weather plays a key role. Instead of cleaning windows on a sunny day, it's advisable to postpone this task until a cloudy one. Due to the strong sunlight, the cleaning water would dry on the panes in no time. The result is unsightly streaks and smears – sparkling clean windows look a different story.
Cleaning windows with simple household remedies
So how do you clean window glass properly? For quick and effective cleaning, all you need is a bucket of lukewarm water and a little dish soap. You can use either a standard rag or a microfiber cloth, which you can wipe over the windows as usual. Repeat this process until all the dirt is removed. For particularly stubborn dirt, it can be useful to apply a little cleaning agent to specific areas. Let it work for a short time, wipe it off, and you're done. Finally, dry the entire area with a rubber squeegee for a streak-free finish. Finally, an insider tip: Many people swear by polishing the windows with old newspaper after cleaning them – cleaning windows like a pro can be that easy.
How to clean window frames
A thorough window cleaning also includes cleaning the window frames and profiles. This is where dirt, insects, and fine dust tend to settle. However, cleaning heavily soiled window frames can be quite time-consuming and annoying. The hard-to-reach grooves and cracks are difficult to reach. So, how do I clean window frames without excessive effort? We'll share our tips with you.

Using these, you can avoid the need for special, usually expensive, cleaning products. Simply rub the window frames liberally with a mixture of baking soda or baking powder combined with water. Let it work for a short time, then wipe it off with a damp cloth after about 10-15 minutes.
How to make window frames white again
Gray or even blackened window frames – there are better scenarios. So what do you do when the window frames are not only covered in dirt but also have discoloration?

Therefore, you should regularly ventilate particularly humid rooms like the kitchen or bathroom – especially in winter.

Thanks to its conveniently shaped bristles, the brush cleans exterior frames and moldings in no time, so you can get your window frames white again in no time.
