5 Tips For Gleaming Windows And Mirrors

• Windows play a pretty big role in our homes,
  since we use them for looking out of, for giving
  us light, and for insulating us against inclement
  weather, and so having them looking clean and
  gleaming, is something most of us strive for.
  However, if your home has many windows, and
  theyre big or tricky to reach, cleaning them can
  be a bit of a nightmare. Mirrors, on the other
  hand, are just as important within our homes and
  equally as prone to getting grubby, but they are
  usually much easier to clean. That said, getting
  glass to gleam without looking streaky isnt
  always easy to achieve, so here are 5 top tips to
  give you a helping hand

• Try to use distilled water
• Most people probably dont realize that the type
  of water they use for cleaning, can have a
  different effect on glass, and only distilled
  water will give you a streak free appearance,
  since it doesnt have all the minerals in it that
  tap water does.
• Dont forget vinegar
• White vinegar can be used to clean many items in
  the home, and glass is no exception. Vinegar is
  cost effective and environmentally friendly, so
  why not try mixing one-part vinegar with one-part
  distilled water into a

• spray bottle, and then simply spray it onto your
  windows and mirrors and wipe it off with a cloth
  or newspaper.
• If you dont like the smell of vinegar, try
  lemons
• Another home remedy that you can use to clean
  windows and mirrors, is to cut a lemon in half
  and simply rub it over the surface you wish to
  clean. You may need to use some distilled water
  to remove the lemon juice or pulp that may be
  left on the surface, but youre guaranteed to
  have sparkling glass with no ill effects on the
  environment or to your pocket.

• Use newspaper to dry glass
• As mentioned in tip number two, newspaper can be
  used instead of a cloth or paper towel, you
  should use newspaper, which miraculously wipes
  clean the glass and absorbs the water, lemon or
  vinegar, without leaving streaks or pieces of
  lint behind. You may wish to wear gloves when
  doing this, as wet newspaper can leave print on
  your skin.
• Buff away
• Most streaks and marks left behind after glass
  has been cleaned, can be successfully removed
  with minimal buffing, and using a microfiber
  cloth should further help to eliminate streaks
  and grubby marks.

• Cleaning your windows and mirrors can be time
  consuming, but the effect once they have been
  cleaned is usually worth the effort. However, if
  youre busy enough with all your other housework,
  you could consider using a professional cleaning
  company to help you get streak free windows and
  mirrors, and since cleaning is a business for
  them, theyll have many techniques to achieve the
  desired result within the shortest amount of time.
