hey, Mom Tips—

1
Don’t wash windows if the sun is beating down on them. Wait until they are in the shade.

Curtains, shades, and blinds all need to be cleaned or washed. Most curtains can be machine washed. Some need to be dry cleaned. Vaccum fabric blinds. Mini blinds can be vaccumed and washed with a rag. (I've even hosed mine down in the backyard, but be careful not to bend them.)

 

 

Washing Windows

Yes, you can buy a lot of products that swear they get your windows as clean as can be, but you don`t need any of that. This is the best and cheapest way to wash windows.

Get a bucket. Put in one cup of vinegar (white, not cider vinegar) and six cups of warm water. This is your solution.

To wash windows, use a clean dishrag. Wring it out so it`s not dripping, and wash the window. Rinse the rag in the bucket and wring and wash again.

Then use a dishtowel to dry the window. Use flour sack towels or all cotton waffle weave towels since they are “lint free.”

It`s as simple as that. (And yes, it is true that it will rain if you wash windows, but you will want them to be clean, so you can`t use that as an excuse not to wash them).
