While not only do clean windows help with the aesthestics and curb appeal of your home, but they also prevent glass degradation, lower your heating bills, and improve air quality. Keep reading for 8 ways to keep your windows cleaner longer.
- Wash When There's No Direct Sunlight - Sun heats the panes, and thus makes the cleaners dry faster, which leads to streaking.
- Wash Like the Pros - Use a squeege and specialized window cleaning products.
- Maintain Your HVAC Unit - Replace filters that trap dust and have your ducts cleaned regularly to keep the air in your home cleaner and prevent the buildup on windows. Not only will your windows stay cleaner longer, but every surface in your house will be cleaner too. You can also consider an air cleaner.
- Dust Other Culprits - By reducing the amount of dust, you'll keep your windows cleaner longer.
- Use Ventilation While Cooking with Grease and Oils - If you're cooking with oils, grease, or greasy foods like steaks and hamburgers, you'll want to have the exhaust fan running while you cook.
- Burn Candles Away from Windows - The smoke put off by wicks can leave a film on glass. Also, avoid using candles that have wicks that include wire, as they put off black smoke. Better yet, don't burn candles or have a fire in your fireplace.
- Avoid Smoking Inside - Smoke from cigarettes and cigars can leave a gray film on everything, including your windows.
- Hire a Professional - A service can help you to keep your house dust-free and clean those windows for you!
