You might be wondering about different ways to clean the window. In this blog post, we will talk about the best methods to clean them. Not only that, but we will give you a design that stops you from getting dirty in the first place. Read on to find out more.
Cleaning the Window Frames
A simple way of cleaning the window frames is wiping them down with a damp cloth and soapy water, ensuring that they look as good as new. To clean the frame, mix a combination of warm water and soap, although washing up liquid is a suitable alternative. Next, put a cloth in water but ensure it is not soaking wet. Finally, wipe the frame carefully so it doesn’t get damaged easily.
Make sure the window dries off and wipe it with a clean towel to get rid of any soap. After doing this, dry it with a kitchen towel or a clean cloth. These simple steps will make sure it looks ideal all year round.
Cleaning Mould From uPVC Frames
Another common issue with uPVC frame is the mould and mildew that builds up over time. Mould on windows causes a dirty and unsightly appearance in your home. If it is left untreated, this could make it harder to get rid of, taking up more of your time.
Thankfully, cleaning the uPVC window is easy to do but it requires regular maintenance. Avoid using anything abrasive as this will cause further damage to your windows. Use a scourer to scrub the mould off clearly. After you have got the tough bits of mould off, mix water, a uPVC cleaner, or soap in a bucket which forms your solution.
Finally, use a sponge or a design to thoroughly wipe it clean. It is important to scrub the window gently to make sure all the mould is wiped clear. Finally, dry it with a clean towel.
For stubborn stains, spray the solution around 3-4 times on the surface and the mould will be cleaned instantly.
Cleaning Window Sills
Another essential part of cleaning your windows is to wipe down the window sill frames. Thankfully, the sills are easy to clean as well. For this, use a vacuum or duster to get rid of dirt particles, or use vinegar for tougher stains. Then, wipe with a clean cloth over the affected area which ensures it looks spotless for years to come.
Getting the uPVC Windows Fully White
When cleaning the windows, you might be wondering what is the best way to get the windows to return to their predominantly white colour. When the windows are dirty, they can be unattractive to look at. The longer you leave your windows, the harder they are to clean. You may also be wondering how to restore the windows to pristine White.
Use a window cleaning solution to remove stubborn dirt and grease. After this, top it off with some vinegar which makes them brighter. Finish the solution with cream cleaners, leaving them shiny and bright.
Are there Ways to Prevent Dirt Building Up?
If you want to get your windows cleaned, you want to think about how you can avoid them getting dirty in the first place. You can also install blinds and curtains to help protect the windows. This helps collect dust while ensuring you decide how much natural light you want in your home. Both the blinds and curtains are easy to open and close.
Things to Avoid When Cleaning Windows
