Step by Step to Clean Your Windows
Step 1:
Use the flat mop’s reusable grey pad and spray Windex directly on pad. Take a first pass at cleaning the initial grime on the window (make sure to tackle both the outside and insides of the windows). I love this mop because it can get reach all of the higher window spots to maximize cleaning!
Step 2:
Although I love using Windex, sometimes it can create streaks, especially on the outside windows! This is why I like to go in with this magic glass cleaning cloth. Remove the reusable gray pad off of the flat mop and cover with the cleaning cloth – you’ll have to tie the back of the cloth to secure with a rubberband. Add water to to activate the glass cloth and give your windows another swipe to remove all streaks!
Step 3:
As the last step, I like to take a dry polishing cloth with my hands to remove any leftover debris or stubborn areas.
Winter might limit the amount of daylight you get, but cleaning your windows is a simple way to maximize the natural light that does come through. By following these easy steps, you can brighten up your home, improve your mood, and make the most of those precious daylight hours. A clean window is like an invitation for the sun to shine through, bringing warmth and energy into your space, even on the chilliest days.
So grab your cleaning supplies, let the light in, and enjoy a brighter, cheerier winter home!
