Window Cleaning Tips and Tricks to Sparkling Glass
By Ginger Lowey

I got so darn good a window cleaning that folks used to walk into my glass at the restaurant I worked at. In fact, it became such a problem that we had to put a sculpture in from of the patio panes just so that the diners stopped hurting themselves. So just how did I manage to get the glass so clean that it looked invisible?

Well, it was many years ago now when I was working in Abu Dhabi. I remember seeing a native cleaning the windows with crunched up newspaper and boy did they sparkle. When I got home I tried it out and the results were amazing. I’ve been cleaning windows and mirrors in this way ever since. However, it’s not the easiest way to clean glass and so will not suite everyone. I’ve therefore given a bunch of other useful tips on how to get your glass gleaming.

The first and most important tip I can give regarding window cleaning is to prepare your glass prior to washing. This is especially important with the outsides. I’ve always used a soft dry brush to remove loose grit, dirt and cobwebs. Once I’ve dusted the glass and sill area, it’s time for the wash.
