The dos and don’ts of cleaning windows

The best time to clean your window is when it gets dirty. However, not everyone has the luxury of time and energy to clean their home windows every time a speck of dust settles on the panes. Thus, realistically it is viable to clean windows when you schedule your monthly house cleaning.

Climate, dust, location and other external factors affect the amount of dirt that is lodged on the windows. You need to keep a vigilant eye on the amount of dirt accumulated and you should clean the windows at timely intervals to keep the winds from clouding up due to extensive dirt. Here are a list of dos and don’t you have to follow when cleaning windows.

The Dos

Have proper cleaning equipment. This includes a squeegee/ soft wash cloth, cleaning chemicals and plenty of water. This is the basic requirements, but you can also invest in professional grade window cleaning equipment to help give your windows an expert cleaning every time.

The generally accepted method of cleaning windows is to clean the window with a mild solution first, then use a stronger solution to get rid of touch stains. You can either use home made window cleaning solutions made of vinegar, water and soap, or you can opt for a commercial window cleaning solution.

In case of tough stains, you can soak a piece of newspaper in the strong solution, apply it on the stained part and wait for a few minutes before cleaning the stain.

The don’ts

Avoid strong chemicals such as bleaches, strong soaps, grease remover etc. These do more harm than good for your windows.

Do not use abrasive materials such as steel wool to remove stains. Make sure to soak the satin in the cleaning chemical before wiping the surface gently with a soft cloth or a squeegee.

Clean your tiles like a pro

Most people do not clean their floor and wall tiles in the right manner. Dust and grime can easily accumulate on your floor over time and it can lead to spreading of germs to the people living in your home. Here are a few tips to help you clean your tiles like a professional.

• Make sure to sweep the floor after the dusting has been done. This is important since dusting your furniture and your walls will lead to dust settling on the floor. All this dirt will be pushed around the floor only to be accumulated at the corners. Thus, it is best to sweep the floor after other cleaning.
• Never mop your tiles without sweeping. And, when you do mop, make sure to soak up excess water of the tiles. This will ensure that there are no streaks and wet spots that will stain the tiles.
• When you clean your tiles, make sure to let it dry completely before you walk on it again. Walking on moist tiles will leave stains of your feet on the floor, making it look ugly and rendering your cleaning obsolete.

Giving your floor a shiny look

            Once you have your floors cleaned and scrubbed, especially in commercial establishments, the next logical step is to buff the floors to give it a shiny feel. Here are a few steps you can take to enhance the shininess of the floors- be it ceramic tiles, parquet floors or even polished concrete, these tips will help enhance how good your floors will look.

            The first step is to choose the right floor wax. Not all wax is the same and it pays to know how to choose the right kind of wax that suits your floor type. Not all wax is the same, and not all “good” wax suits all types of floors. If you are unsure of what you need, ask an expert.

            In order to ensure an even shine, make sure to de-clutter your floor. This means removing any furniture and rugs that may obstruct the buffing process. If you are in a facility with constant foot traffic, such as a hospital or a bank, it is best to close down the floor temporarily. This will make sure that you give your floor the due attention it requires.

            Using the right equipment is also necessary. Using improper equipment, however costly/ recommended it is will only result in substandard work. Have experts who know what they are doing handle these for you, which will ensure an optimal shining solution.
