Containing ingredients derived from plants, our natural degreaser possesses cleaning properties that can effectively cut through grease, grime, and other residues on window surfaces. Natural plant-based degreasers work by breaking down the bonds of grease and frime, making it easier to wipe them away.
Here is a guide on how to clean windows using our all-natural cleaner and degreaser:
1. Prep the Windows
Prepping the windows involves removing any loose dirt, dust, or debris from the surface before cleaning. This ensures that the natural cleaner and degreaser can effectively target the greasy or oily residues without interference from other particles. Prepping the windows helps ensure that the degreaser is applied evenly across the surface. This promotes uniform cleaning and prevents streaks or patches from forming. Without prepping, the degreaser might have to work through layers of dirt and grime before it can tackle the grease effectively. Prepping the windows before cleaning sets the stage for a more thorough and effective cleaning process.
2. Apply the Natural Degreaser and Let It Sit
Spray the natural cleaner and degreaser onto the window surface, covering it evenly. Allow the cleaning solution to sit on the windows for a few minutes. This gives the natural degreaser time to penetrate and loosen stubborn grease and grime, especially for problem areas. Allowing the natural cleaner and degreaser to sit reduces the need for aggressive scrubbing, which can potentially damage the window surface or lead to streaking. Instead, the natural degreaser does the hard work of loosening the dirt, making the cleaning process gentler and more efficient. While the degreaser sits, you can move on to other tasks or areas that need cleaning. This can help optimize your cleaning routine and make the overall process more time-efficient. Letting the natural cleaner and degreaser sit on windows while cleaning ensures a thorough and effective removal of grease and grime.
3. Wipe Clean
Using a clean microfibre or non-abrasive cloth, wipe the windows in a circular motion, starting from the top and working your way down. Wiping the windows removes both the degreaser and the loosened grease and grime from the surface. This ensures that the windows are left clean and free of any remaining residues. If the degreaser is left to air dry without wiping, it can leave streaks on the windows as it evaporates. Wiping ensures a streak-free finish, leaving the windows looking clear and shiny. Degreaser residue left on the windows can attract dirt and dust, leading to buildup over time. Regular wiping prevents this buildup, keeping the windows cleaner for longer periods between cleanings. Furthermore, removing the degreaser and any residues from the windows ensures that the surfaces are safe for use, especially if they are located in areas where people may come into contact with them. Wiping the windows is essential for achieving clean, streak-free results and maintaining the appearance and safety of the windows over time.
4. Dry and Polish
Drying and polishing help remove any remaining moisture and residue. Drying the windows prevents water spots from forming as any remaining water evaporates. Water spots can be unsightly and detract from the cleanliness of the windows. If you are using a squeegee, use it to remove excess moisture from the windows, start from the top and pulling downwards in a single, fluid motion. Alternatively, you can use a clean, dry microfibre or lint-free cloth to remove any remaining moisture and polish the windows for a sparkling finish. After drying and polishing, inspect the windows from different angles to check for any remaining streaks or smudges. If there are any, go back over the affected areas with a clean, dry cloth until the windows are completely streak-free. Drying and polishing windows is a crucial step for achieving sparkling, clear glass that looks clean and well-maintained.
If the windows are designed with shutters, it is important to clean the shutters as well. Clean windows paired with dirty shutters can create an unbalanced and inconsistent appearance. Cleaning both windows and shutters ensures uniformity and enhances overall aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, dirty shutters can transfer dust and grime onto freshly cleaned windows, undermining efforts to achieve sparkling clean windows with our natural cleaner and degreaser. By reading cleaning tips for shutters and effectively cleaning the shutters, you mitigate the risk of recontamination and preserve the cleanliness of the windows for a longer period of time.
