Spring cleaning is coming...Tip #158and window washing isn't glamorous, but these tips will help insure sparkling windows in no time!
Wash one side of a window with horizontal strokes and the other side with vertical strokes so you can pinpoint which side of the window has a streak.
Use a squeegee on a long handle or a sponge/squeegee combination to prevent streaks on large windows.
Washing windows should be done on a cloudy day, because direct sunlight dries cleaning solutions before you can polish the glass properly.
To give an extra shine to window glass, polish it with well-washed cotton T-shirts or old cloth diapers. Or rub a clean blackboard eraser over a freshly washed and dried window to give it a diamond-bright shine.
Polish windows to a sparkling shine with crumpled newspaper. The paper also leaves a film that's resistant to dirt. **Alright now, I'm talking tips, head over to see what Impulsive and Shawn are talking about on Talk to us Tuesday!**

My granny used to make her own window cleaner vinegar and I can't remember what else. We had pickled windows.
I need one of those squeegee things!
What a great idea! Usually I end up just hosing them off since they're 7-feet tall and 3-feet wide. If I could find a really long squeegee I might have to try that method! :)

Eeek...I hate washing windows. :( But I will have to remember these tips when I finally get around to it this spring. Let's hope that happens before it becomes winter again... haha!
This is on the list of things to do sometime during the spring. I am NOT looking forward to it. This is our first house with a second story, so I think I'm going to have to make my husband get on the ladder and do the top windows. There's no WAY I'm getting up there!
Surprisingly, I knew most of these!!! My MIL washed all my windows (inside and out) over Christmas. I was going to pay someone to do it but she did it for FREE! That's awesome!
I keep forgetting to get the newspaper out to try this! They keep laying the paper out on my drive way even though I don't have a subscription so maybe they're trying to tell me to WASH MY WINDOWS! How embarrassing! great tips as always
