Cleaning the fixtures after the summer is not just a domestic matter: it is the natural makeup that eliminates halos and smog with common ingredients. The result? Brilliant and fresh windows, ready to give new light to your home.
When it comes to windows and windows, powder, salt, spots left by rain and smog immediately come to mind. After the summer, the fixtures remain marked by scorching sun, wind and sudden thunderstorms that leave obstinate traces. It is interesting to note how the care of the fixtures is not just an aesthetic gesture: keeping them clean means protecting them over time and enhancing the house. Whether they are in wood, aluminum or PVC, the difference makes the right method.
Before discovering step by step how to do, it is better to start with a practical gesture: prepare a bucket of warm water, a microfiber cloth and an ingredient that everyone has in the kitchen. In this way, cleaning becomes faster, less tiring and almost a small ritual of domestic well -being.
The natural method for brilliant fixtures
Aggressive products are not needed to have shining fixtures. With White vinegar and bicarbonate An effective and sustainable solution is obtained. The vinegar melts dirty and halos, while the bicarbonate acts as a light natural abrasive. Adding a few drops of lemon makes everything more fragrant. The procedure is simple: half a glass of vinegar in a liter of warm water, a soft cloth soaked and delicate passages on the whole surface. In the most difficult corners, an old toothbrush makes the difference. Finally, a pinch of baking soda on the stubborn stains and a light rubbed complete the work.
It is curious to observe how ancient remedies are still more effective than many modern detergents today. They leave no chemical residues, do not leave annoying halos and return bright surfaces in the sun. A method that combines tradition and practicality.
Clean wood, aluminum and pvc fixtures
Each material has its needs. It is surprising how a wooden frame immediately transmits heat but asking delicate care, while aluminum gives strength but suffers the scratches. The PVC offers practicality, but requires attention to not yellow. They are small details that really tell the personality of the house.
To avoid errors, here are the main methods:
- Wooden fixtures: charm and warmth, but they need a well squeezed cloth with water and little soap of Marseille. Vinegar should only be used very diluted, otherwise it risks ruining the finish.
- Aluminum fixtures: resistant and ideal in the city, they clean themselves very well with vinegar, but they hate the abrasive sponges that graffize easily.
- PVC fixtures: practical and bright, but tend to yellow over time. Here bicarbonate is the solution to return candor without ruining the surface.
We often forget about the seals and guides. A damp cloth or a brush eliminate dust and residues, avoiding smells and closing difficulties. A minimum cure that really makes the difference in daily comfort.
Small tricks to keep them clean for longer
Once clean, the fixtures remain shining longer if simple habits are adopted. Airing often the environments reduces condensation. Passing a dry cloth once a month keeps fresh surfaces. Avoid smoking near the windows helps not to yellow the materials. Finally, curtains or shields reduce direct exposure to the sun and slow down wear.
These small gestures reduce dirt and make subsequent cleaning faster. In the end, what may seem a tiring job becomes a light and almost relaxing routine, capable of giving harmony and order.
Taking care of the fixtures means taking care of the house. It is not only a question of brilliant windows to show, but to preserve over time elements that protect and illuminate the environments. So why postpone? It takes a few minutes, a natural ingredient and the desire to bring splendor back to the windows after the summer.
A simple gesture that transforms the house, gives comfort and immediately conquers those who enter.
