What Are Your Choices: Window Cleaners

By Jacob Phillips

There are many products and services available designed to make cleaning windows less of a chore. For many years people have paid companies and individuals to do what most of us don't want to do. In order to have streak less windows, it is suggested that you use the best window cleaners on the market. The cheaper ones will not make your windows as clean as you would like them.

There are loads of different products available that promise dry without streaks and provide clearer windows. Some of these products are ammonia based. They are generally safe for glass and other types of surfaces, however doing a spot check or reading the directions carefully is always recommended.

Many people are purchasing environmentally friendly cleaning supplies. Eco-friendly products do not rely on harsh chemicals and instead use natural plant based substances. The odors from eco-friendly products are not as strong as other types of cleaners, which makes people that are sensitive to certain types of chemicals very happy. For a really natural method, some people just will use vinegar and water on windows.

Of course, what you use to actually wipe the window down is also important. Options can include paper towels, coffee filters and even newspaper. It's all a matter of personal preference.

One of the best methods to get a streak free shine is to spray the glass and use your paper towel (newspaper, coffee filter, whatever) in a vertical motion. One the other side of the glass, repeat the process using a horizontal motion. Doing so will allow you to see exactly where the streaks are so that you can wipe them off.

Although window cleaning isn't exactly the most exciting way to spend time it can certainly brighten up a home. When you are done with that you're most likely going to have to go on to the next chore on the list. It's time to clean out the garage!
