The pre-Christmas period is a time for thorough cleaning. If you plan to wash your windows at this time, remember one thing. Many people make a mistake that can damage their windows.

Everyone knows the order of washing windows. First, it is necessary to remove cobwebs and larger dirt, then wash the window frames and then the glass.

Most houses or apartments are equipped with white plastic windows that tend to turn yellow. Because of this, many people who want to whiten them use strong chemicals. And that is a huge mistake.

Don’t make this mistake when washing windows. You can damage them

Applying bleach to window frames is the first step to damaging them. Do not use corrosive lotions or acetone, because instead of restoring the snow-white color, you will achieve the opposite effect. Remember that these types of agents abrade the plastic surface and cause micro-scratches that easily absorb dirtwhich will make the windows look even worse.

A homemade mixture is best for cleaning window frames. It is safe and does not damage plastic. How to make it?

  • You need 1.5 cups of water, 1/3 cup of vinegar and two tablespoons of lemon juice.
  • Mix all the ingredients and finally add a teaspoon of dishwashing detergent. This household liquid will perfectly clean the surface and the windows will look like new.

How to make homemade window cleaner? Just mix these ingredients

Instead of spending money on window cleaners, you can make the mixture at home. Cleans windows perfectly and leaves no streaks.

  • Prepare distilled water and spirit vinegar.
  • Combine both ingredients in a ratio of 10:1, mix and spray on the windows. Wipe in circular motions with a microfiber cloth.

Unusual tips for housework often appear on social networks. One of them is the method of washing windows, which caught the attention of viewers on TikTok. In his video, the TikToker criticizes the common method of pulling the squeegee from top to bottom, recommending horizontal wave-like movements instead. According to him this procedure reduces the risk of streaks and leaves the glass perfectly clean.
