7 Window Cleaning Tips
Make Time For A Good Stare
Did you know that staring out the window can have positive effects on your overall health? It’s true. Staring out the window is a great way to take a break, reset, explore unanswered problems, or relax… unless those windows are dirty, of course! If you’ve tried and hated cleaning your windows, these window cleaning tips can make your next attempt more successful.
Kansas City windows need frequent cleaning. If you prefer to clean your own windows, we recommend cleaning the sills, tracks, screens, hinges, and glass monthly. Regular cleaning helps keep your windows in good working order, provides you with a clearer view of the outdoors, and can even help improve your indoor air quality. Below are more tricks of the trade for DIY crystal clean windows.
DIY Is Perfectly Fine
- Make your own window cleaning solution with water and dish soap. No need to spend extra money on glass cleaner. Dish soap and water do a great job at cleaning the grime and leaving a streak-free shine. Also, try using a magic eraser on your frame and screens.
- Clean windows on a cloudy or cool day. Hot or sunny days can evaporate your window cleaning product faster, leaving streaks and spots. The sun can also make it difficult to see areas that are still dirty. Be sure to take a step back and look at your windows from several angles. You might catch something you missed.
- Clean the frame first. The window frame is often the dirtiest and can leave a messy sludge behind after it becomes wet. We recommend using a vacuum to remove as much debris as possible before you clean your windows and frame. If your screens are dirty, try a lint roller.
- Skip the paper towels. Most paper products leave lint behind and can’t get the dirt off as well as a microfiber cloth. If you really love clean windows, invest in a squeegee. Squeegees can help make the job easier.
- Clean high windows with a mop or call a professional window cleaner to get the hard-to-reach places at your home or business. Professional window cleaners like The Window Cleaner Guys are trained and equipped to handle high areas and can avoid dripping dirty water onto your walls and floors.
- Practice your technique. Try scrubbing in different ways. You can avoid streaks by changing up the direction you are wiping. Changing the direction of wiping when you’re cleaning windows helps reduce smudges and smears.
- Go back over streaks with a dry eraser or microfiber cloth. Often, a little wipe is all it takes to get a streak-free shine. Wait until your glass is dry and wipe away any leftover streaks.

Now that your windows are clean, it’s time to enjoy a good stare from the comfort of your home or office. You might find it hypnotic- and if you can’t get those windows clean enough to enjoy, then it’s time to call The Window Cleaner Guys.
