Quick Tips & Tricks
Simple solutions for common window care challenges
Daily Quick Tips
Morning Routine
Open curtains fully by pulling them to the wall, not just halfway. Use tiebacks for maximum light exposure.
Spot Cleaning
Keep a microfiber cloth in each room for quick wipes. Address marks immediately before they set.
Condensation
Wipe morning condensation with a dry cloth before it drips. Prevents water damage and mold growth.
Cleaning Shortcuts
Newspaper Trick
Crumpled newspaper makes an excellent final buff for streak-free shine. Free and eco-friendly option.
Vinegar Solution
Mix 1 part white vinegar to 4 parts water for natural cleaning power. Works on most window dirt.
Cloudy Day Advantage
Clean windows on overcast days. Direct sunlight causes cleaning solution to dry too quickly, leaving streaks.
Light Positioning Hacks
Mirror Placement
Position mirrors on walls perpendicular to windows, not opposite. Creates depth without direct reflection.
Curtain Rods
Install rods 15-20cm wider than window frames. When opened, curtains clear the glass completely.
Light Paint Colors
Use white or cream on walls near windows. Reflects up to 80% of natural light back into rooms.
Time-Saving Tips
Two-Cloth Method
Use one damp microfiber cloth for cleaning, one dry for polishing. Faster than squeegees for small windows.
Bottom-Up Approach
Start cleaning from bottom of window moving up. Prevents drips on already-cleaned glass.
Frame First
Always clean frames and sills before glass. Prevents dirty water running onto clean panes.
