3 Top Tips For Cleaning Windows

Once Brighton double glazing specialists have been around to your house to install your new windows, you'll want to keep them sparkling clean for as long as possible. Here are three top tips for making sure your windows stay streak-free for as long as they can.

Check the weather report

Of course, you'd be a bit silly to wash your windows when it's raining outside – what would be the point? – but it's also best not to start the job when it's super sunny either. If you wash your windows in direct sunlight, you'll find that they dry far too quickly and leave streaks behind, so you'll just end up doing it all over again. Wait until there's a bit of cloud cover for perfectly beautiful double-glazed windows this year.

Use a Squeegee

You can wash your windows using a sponge and nothing else, but a Squeegee will make all the difference in the world. Hold it at an angle so the water runs down the glass, wiping the blade after each stroke so you don't get any blade marks at the end. Overlap your strokes for the perfect window clean.

Polish it up

Don't just give your windows a wash and then leave it at that. You need to finish the job properly by polishing the glass with a soft cloth. There are plenty on the market specifically designed for this so just find the one that's right for you.

Cleaning windows can be a pain but once your house is done, you'll see what a difference it makes.
