Help…I can’t see out of my windows!

Does this nice warm weather make you want to get out and wash windows.  Here are a few hints that may help you.

• Most professionals use a small amount of hand dishwashing detergent (such as Ivory, Dove, Dawn) and warm water along with a squeegee to remove water to help prevent streaking;

• Homemade window cleaner =½ cup vinegar or ammonia to one quart warm water;

• For greasy or heavily soiled windows, use ½ cup ammonia, 1 pint rubbing alcohol, ¼ tsp. dish detergent, 1 gallon water

Remember, streaking is often caused by heat in the glass, and consequently drying too fast.  So, plan to wash the windows while they are in the shade for the best results.
