If you are like most people you like to keep your house clean. One aspect of keeping a house clean that is over looked often is the windows. It’s not that people don’t notice that their windows are dirty but cleaning windows can seem like a difficult and time consuming task to accomplish.

Most windows however are made of glass. Older glass windows are made of a better quality of glass and will give you less problems when cleaning them, unless they are super old and have wavy glass. Newer glass is hit or miss in terms of quality. Often times they will have fabrication debris which can cause scratching if you use a blade on them. Although some people think its easy to scratch glass windows, this really is not so if you are using the right equipment in the right way. Some people think that you need warm water, vinegar and ammonia, but this is really not needed, cold water and dawn dish soap is all you need.
