Orange County Window Cleaning

Unless you live in a hole in the ground, at some time in your life you will, or rather should clean your windows. Some prefer to use ammonia, others vinegar and newspa-pers, others will buy the cheapest Orange County window cleaner on the market. They all probably work, and since you’ve put it off until you can’t see outside, unless you’ve planned ahead, you’ll simply use what you have on hand.

On the outside a bucket of hot water, a sponge, plastic gloves, and some dish soap will do the trick. But whatever you do don’t let it dry before you rinse it off with the hose, then let it air dry. Or after rinsing you could dry and shine the windows with a clean towel, and best not to use a towel that has had softener added to the washer.

To get the best result, don’t wash your windows in the bright sun because they will streak. Wash before the sun shines on them. Do the shadiest part in the morning and the other side of your house in the late afternoon after the sun has passed. If anyone asks what you’re doing, tell them you’re washing windows. You alone know that it took all day, but when the sun was high in the sky, you took your afternoon nap or read a book.

It goes without saying that you don’t want to wash the inside of your windows in the same way. Spray on that window cleaner, you may want to use a squeegee to wipe the window cleaner off. With each swipe dry the squeegee on a towel. Or you could use one towel to clean the window, then another to dry and shine it. And don’t forget the window ledge outside and inside. Spiders like to hide there, so be careful. But wipe those ledges off with a damp cloth.

A sprinkler spraying your windows in the hot sun can damage a window, and no matter how hard you try to clean it, as soon as it dries there are those spots again. You may have to use a harsher cleaner like Lime Away, but don’t use anything that will scratch your window, or you may have to call in a contractor to put in another window.

If there are small children around your home, it may be almost impossible to keep your windows clean. Their kisses and fingerprints ruin your newly cleaned windows, but you don’t mind. Just get that cleaner out and run a quick towel over the spot, smile and say “I really wanted children.”
