For the Holidays coming up

With the holiday season approaching, it’s likely that you will soon be welcoming friends and family into your home for festive dinners and celebrations. That means you’ll probably want your house to be sparkling clean.

One area that’s easily overlooked during the chaos of holiday preparations is your glass surfaces. The last thing you want is for your clean home to be marred by smears on your glass tabletops and windows, so it’s important learn the best way to clean glass for a streak-free shine.

The best way to clean glass is to use a streak-free cleaner. Naturally, you can use a commercial cleaner. However, some store-bought solutions actually leave residue behind.

Solution 1: Equal parts distilled white vinegar and water
Solution 2: Two tablespoons of ammonia and two quarts of warm water
Solution 3: Two tablespoons of dishwashing liquid and two quarts of water

Choose your solution, mix it in a large spray bottle and get ready to clean.

When it comes to washing windows and other glass surfaces, moderation is key. If you spray too much of your cleaning solution on the glass, you’re going to get streaks. This is because the overspray of solution has to go somewhere, and your coffee filter or microfiber cloth won’t be able to absorb all of the liquid. As a result, you’ll end up smearing the cleaning solution — along with dirt and dust — all over the window, rather than wiping it away from the glass.

After you’ve finished, give windows and glass surfaces a once over to be certain there aren’t any remaining smudges. If there are, don’t panic. You can quickly buff them out using a dry coffee filter or microfiber cloth.

And there you have it! If you don’t want to do that, no problem, just call us!
