Best way to clean outside windows diy.

Outside windows typically have more dirt and stains. Start by rinsing the windows with the hose then fill a bucket with clean cool water and add a few drops of liquid dish soap. Clean only when there is no direct sun on the windows. If the spots are really tough to remove your best option is to use undiluted vinegar.

Put vinegar in a spray bottle then spray a large area of the window and clean until clear. For divided lite windows use a sponge and a small squeegee. Scrub your exterior windows with the mop. Microfiber rags work great for window cleaning.

Once most of the crud is gone move on to the next step. Dip a clean microfiber cloth or mop head into the solution and attach to the mop handle. Spray a streak free window cleaner onto the glass or on a clean microfiber cloth and wipe. Ideally windows should be washed twice a year but it s a task most people don t look forward to.

Rinse and dry the window frames immediately to avoid any damage. Use a separate clean rag to wipe the perimeter of the glass. Wait for the window to dry. Second using a solution of 50 water and 50 vinegar clean the windows and then rinse them off.

Part of what makes diy window cleaning such a chore is that homeowners insist on doing it with wadded up paper towels or newspaper spray cleaner and a ton of elbow grease.
