Pro Tips for Keeping Your Glass Windows Clean
Clean on a Cloudy Day: Avoid cleaning windows in direct sunlight, as the cleaner may dry too quickly, leaving streaks.
Use Distilled Water: If you have hard water, opt for distilled water in your cleaning solution to prevent mineral deposits on the glass.
Maintain Your Tools: Rinse your microfibre cloths and squeegee after each use to keep them in top condition.
Spot Clean Regularly: Tackle fingerprints and smudges as they appear to reduce the need for deep cleaning sessions.
Kitchen Window Cleaning
Kitchen windows can quickly accumulate grease, food splatters, and fingerprints, especially if there are windows behind your stovetop. Start by dusting the window frame and sill with a dry microfibre cloth to remove loose debris. Use Thankyou’s Universal Cleaner to tackle stubborn grease marks—spray directly onto the glass and let it sit for a minute before wiping with the Glass Cloth. For extra shine and to master the art of kitchen cleaning, finish with the squeegee, working from the top down on the glass pane.
Bathroom Window Cleaning
Bathroom windows are prone to moisture buildup, soap scum, and even mould due to high humidity. Begin by wiping down the window with a dry microfibre cloth to remove any dirt. Apply Thankyou’s Universal Cleaner to the glass, focusing on areas with visible water spots or soap residue. Scrub gently using the glass cloth, and then rinse the surface with distilled water to avoid streaks or mineral deposits. For stubborn spots, combine the cleaner with a soft-bristled brush for a deeper clean. Finish with the squeegee, ensuring you dry the edges of the window to prevent water spots from forming. Regular bathroom cleaning will also help minimise soap or grime buildup and keep your bathroom looking fresh.
