When it comes to maintaining a clean and pristine home, sparkling windows and mirrors play a vital role in enhancing both the aesthetics and the overall ambiance. However, achieving streak-free window cleaning can be a daunting task for many. The good news is that you don't have to rely on expensive chemical cleaners to get the job done. All it takes is the right tools.

Prepare your tools and solution

Before you begin, gather the necessary tools: Norwex Window and Enviro Cloths and water.

That really is all you need. No chemicals.

Start with vacuuming

Before tackling the windows, it’s essential to remove any loose dirt, dust, or debris from the window frames, sills, and surrounding areas. Use the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to gently remove these particles. This step will prevent dirt from spreading around and marring your streak-free results later.

Apply the water

Spray the water generously onto the mirror or window glass, ensuring complete coverage.

Wipe away the water

Take the grey enviro cloth and use it to scrub the window surface. Start from the top and work your way down. The cloth will absorb the water and scrub off any remaining dirt or smudges.

Now, it’s time to achieve those pristine, streak-free windows. Take the purple window cloth, start from the top again, wipe the window surface using either horizontal or vertical strokes, whichever you prefer. This final step will remove any remaining residue, leaving you with spotless, crystal-clear windows.

Clean the window sills

Don’t forget about the window sills! Spray some of the water directly onto the sills and wipe them clean with a microfiber towel. This step ensures that every part of the window area is left shining and free from dust and grime.

Remember, cleaning your windows regularly helps maintain their beauty and extends their lifespan. With just a little effort and the right technique, you’ll be able to enjoy the view through spotless windows that enhance the overall appeal of your home.
