Have a room with a
clear view
THE
recent spate of duststorms is bound to have robbed your windowpanes of
their shine ‘n’ sheen, making them look hazy with layers of dust
settling on the glass and the window frames. Even otherwise, if not
cleaned regularly, windowpanes begin to look musty and it becomes
difficult to dislodge the dust that sticks in the small crevices and
corners of the window frames.
|
Wash windowpanes on an overcast day to avoid streaking
|
So, get into the
cleaning act and make your windows sparkle as good as new ones.
-
Try to choose an
overcast day for cleaning windows. In summer, since that is rare,
wash them when the sun is not shining directly on the glass as it
causes streaking.
-
Generally, if the
windowpanes are not too dirty they can simply be washed with clear,
tepid water.
-
In case the panes
are too dusty, make a cleaning solution at home and use that. Mix
half a cup of ammonia and half a cup of white vinegar with a
bucketful of water to get an effective window cleaner.
-
Put the solution in
a spray bottle. Else, you can use a sponge or old, discarded cotton
socks. Dip these in the solution and wring out thoroughly before
using to avoid drips.
