DIY Guide: How to Clean Your Windows Like a Pro This Spring
Spring in Western New York is finally here—and while you're airing out the house and packing away the winter gear, your windows might be screaming for attention.
Whether you're the hands-on type or you’d rather leave it to the pros, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know to get your windows sparkling clean this season.
Step-by-Step: How to Clean Your Windows at Home
If you're ready to roll up your sleeves, here's a foolproof way to get great results:
What You’ll Need:
Squeegee (rubber blade preferred)
Bucket with warm water
A few drops of dish soap or white vinegar
Microfiber cloth or lint-free towel
Step ladder (if you’ve got tall windows)
Cleaning Process:
Remove Screens and give them a quick rinse.
Wipe the Frame & Sill with a damp cloth.
Soak the Glass with your soap + water mix.
Squeegee Time: Start at the top, pull straight down. Wipe blade between passes.
Detail the Edges with your microfiber cloth.
Rinse and Dry Screens, then pop them back in.
💡 Pro Tip: Avoid cleaning windows in direct sunlight—it causes streaks as the cleaner dries too quickly.
