How To Get A Streak-Free Shine When Cleaning Your Windows
Cleaning your windows can be a very arduous task if you do not have the right tools and chemicals to do so. Most people end up cleaning their windows and other glass items around the house (i.e. mirrors), yet they can never seem to get that streak-free shine that they are looking for. This article will help you to find the best possible way to clean your windows and mirrors without leaving streaks all over the place.
As stated in the opening paragraph, you cannot, I repeat CANNOT get a streak free shine without the proper tools and chemicals. Many people like to use plain water and paper towels to wash their windows. However, what these people do not know is that plain water and paper towels are the number one culprits of window streaks!
Make sure you are using a dedicated glass cleaner such as Windex or 409. Windex doesn’t have mineral deposits like normal tap water does, and therefore will not leave a residue behind. Products like Windex are created with a special chemical designed JUST for cleaning glass and cutting through dirt, grease, and grime on windows.
For your towel, invest in a nice, machine-washable micro-fiber towel. Micro-fiber towels last longer than paper towels and are much cheaper in the long run. In addition, micro-fiber towels do not contain the dangerous silica that paper towels contain. Silica is an element of most all paper towels and not only leaves streaks in windows, it also permanently scratches glass! You will know this if you have ever used paper towels to clean your glass surfaces throughout time.
Now that you have a better understanding of how to obtain a streak-free shine on your glass surfaces, go make your house look bigger, brighter, cleaner, and less streaky & scratchy using the simple tools and chemicals suggested in this article!
