Deep Clean the Frame
- 2.1 - Wipe with a dry cloth to remove most of the dirt.
- 2.2 - Deep clean the rails:
- Cleaner: Spray cleaner on the window frame. Let it work for 5-10 minutes.
- DIY Solution: Put baking soda in the rails, then pour a little bit of white vinegar on top. Wait for the mixture to foam.
- 2.3 - Clean the window frame using a damp cloth or sponge.
- 2.4 - Cover the end of a spatula or butter knife with a damp cloth to thoroughly clean hard-to-reach corners by scraping.
- 2.5 - Wipe with a dry cloth.
Pro Tip
If you have windows with rails, align a sponge with the rails and draw lines where the rails are. Cut the sponge along the lines using a utility knife, then use it on the rails to remove all the dirt in one go!

Make the Windowpanes Shine

- 3.4 - Use a dry microfibre cloth to wipe off the excess water on the squeegee.

Pro Tip
Don’t put too much pressure on the squeegee. Instead, make a continuous motion from left to right.
