Lemon juice is the key to sparkling clean windows, but most use it wrong. Here’s the right way to use it
Start by diluting the lemon juice with water in a clean spray bottle. A 1:1 ratio works best. The even mist from a spray bottle ensures uniform application.
2. Microfiber Cloth
Essential for wiping down windows, this cloth type prevents streaking and lint deposits.
3. Squeegee
For an added touch of professionalism, a squeegee will ensure smooth, streak-free results.
Methodical Cleaning Process:
1. Preparation
Remove any dust or loose grime with a soft brush or a dry microfiber cloth before applying the lemon juice solution.
2. Application
Spray the diluted lemon juice solution generously onto the window, covering all areas.
3. Wiping Down
Using a clean microfiber cloth, gently wipe the window in a circular motion to remove stains and grime.
4. Squeegee Technique
If you opt for a squeegee, start from the top corner and work your way down in an S-shaped motion, wiping the squeegee blade with a dry cloth after each stroke.
Finishing Touches:
1. Drying
Ensure the window is completely dry to avoid water spots. A quick wipe with a dry microfiber cloth should suffice.
2. Polishing
For extra shine, lightly buff the window with a second microfiber cloth, taking care to polish in a circular motion to eliminate any minor streaks.
By adhering to these steps, you can transform your window-cleaning routine into a seamless and effective process. Embrace the natural power of lemon juice, and experience the gleam and clarity that it brings to your windows.
