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.
