What's the best way to clean window 🪟 vinyl?

how do I get rid of a dull layer on my mirror- it's clean but really dull

[@112deeps]

I heard or read that it's not good to wash microfiber with laundry washing power because the conditioner will damage the microfiber. I now day use dishwashing liquid & every now & then small flake of dishwasher tablet. Is it true about most laundry washing powder or gel contains conditioner?

[@112deeps]

@@shahidamoola6154 if you have hard water i your area, try shower spray.... Regularly the hard water calcium carbonate will eventually wash off! & use filtered rain water or condensed water collected from dryer as soft water for cleaning water on microfiber

As a window cleaner this is how I clean leaded windows. Customers always ask me how I get no streaks and are always amazed I just use plain water too clean with. You'll always get streaks with any cleaning product so save yourself money and save the environment by listening to this lady.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Hey Thanks, Paul for the feedback. It's great to have you here. 😍

[@flynn1a]

So glad to “hear” you say this. So many people are obsessed with making their own glass cleaner, when plain water is generally the best, especially on mirrors.

[@CCFIFresno]

That is untrue in regards to getting streaks with cleaning products. Fact, glass actually has pours and when you don't get all the grease, grime, dust and dirt out of those pours, that is what creates the streaking you see. If you use a wet microfiber cloth with a few drop's of blue dawn to clean the glass/mirror and then dry it with a microfiber drying towel you've removed all of the gunk from those pours and liklihood of having streaks no matter what you put on it other than oil or furniture polish. If you want a "transparent clean" use a foaming glass cleaner, misting it very lightly and use a microfiber cloth made specifically for glass and spread to evaporation in the "S" pattern from top to bottom.

I am a retired owner of a window cleaning business (20 years experience). 90% of my customers were homeowners so I've cleaned a lot of mirrors. Frankly I always used an 18" squeegee to wipe off the water as it is much faster and leaves the mirror super clean. However, I did use her method to clean leaded glass and I think I will try it to clean the inside of my trucks windows.

My house cleaner retired so house cleaning is back to me. I found this program about cleaning mirrors (something I have never had success doing) and couldn't believe you could clean mirrors without chemicals. So this morning I got two microfiber cloths and followed your directions. I was amazed that it works!! I also watched the program about cleaning showers and decided to work on the glass doors. I am ashamed to say they were awful. I found a scrubber pad to us and used windex to use up my supply. Again I followed your directions right down to drying the glass. OMG!! The doors are beautiful. I keep going back and looking at the bathroom because it looks so great. And, a bonus is that I worked smarter rather than harder. Thanks so much for your advise to a little old lady.

For the bathroom, could I save time on wetting the mirror by cleaning it right after the shower when its foggy, and just use the drying cloth?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

YES! Now you're thinking. The same rules apply to cleaning the shower. When it's steamy and everything is lose - that's when you want to squeegee the walls and glass down. BAM! You're clean, your bathroom is clean - it's a great morning routine. Thanks for bringing this up. 👍

[@maxineneale]

I would like to offer up my cleaning process for glass (used for the last 50 years) for alternative consideration. Like the presenter I just use water - but I use a plain Terry face cloth for washing and another for drying off. The key is TO NOT USE Fabric softener when washing the cleaning cloth - then just hang dry.

[@arnoldwilsonsen492]

Thanks! I have written in my service agreement as Dust and Wipe Windows. Is it the same as Window cleaning?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

I'd say that "dusting and wiping windows" generally refers to cleaning the window surfaces and frames, but it doesn't usually include thorough window washing, which is cleaning the glass inside and out. I suggest making sure you and your client are on the same page about this so everyone's happy in the end👍

[@virginiamoss7045]

I'm so glad to hear you promote just plain water. I use just water for nearly everything, very few cleaning products. Only really stubborn or greasy stuff needs product or anything that needs sanitation. Large appliance surfaces generally only need water. Do you have a video on cleaning outside, really dirty windows and those unreachable from the ground? (You must live in a mansion with over 50 windows - nice!)

[@AskAngelaBrown]

We typically don't encourage house cleaners to do windows for the fact that most don't travel in vehicles with a truck mount, ladders or have a vehicle that will carry 2 story extension wands and pressure washers. Instead we refer our window washing friends to our cleaning contacts, and they refer house cleaning to us. (No, I haven't done a video on it but one would be fun to watch.)

[@alexarihani2902]

Virginia once I got my steam cleaner I couldnt believe how clean everything was from just water

[@truthseeker713]

I was getting tired of the amount of paper towels I was using from both a landfill and financial standpoint. What a waste. Literally. So about 8 months ago I quit buying paper towels. I invested in microfiber towels and different e-clothes. I now use them exclusively for absolutely all my cleaning. With most of my cleaning now being done with just plain water, instead of chemicals. Considering how many paper towels I was going through, as well as various chemicals, both the microfiber towels and e-clothes have proven to be a good investment.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Hooray! It's true, once your place is clean, you can maintain it with water and washable cloths. Who knew right?

[@patrickwall8517]

I worked my way through college as a professional cleaner we used this method and it worked great. Another tip is to start at the top and wipe horizontally from side to side working your way downward. This ensures that you're moving the dirt away from the area you just cleaned-this goes for walls and cars as well.

[@perniciouspete4986]

Yep, that's what Angela said. She even showed it in the video.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks for sharing!

[@donkirby1719]

Your video had very good info. I would like to comment on your choice of wiping materials ie coffee filters, newspapers, paper towels etc. As I understand, your reluctance in using newspaper was due to the fact that they are more scarce now than in the past. If you have a source, that would not be an issue. I've used newspapers for window cleaning for many years and I've experienced no better wiping material. Just be sure to use the actual newspaper itself and not any glossy inserts. Newsprint ink actually has a small amount of abrasive added to it helping to polish glass.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks for watching the show : )

Hey Angela, we’re window twins! We also have 55 windows. High 5!!! I was ready to give you my secret weapon for cleaning them, but you already knew it so I’ll just contribute to your algorithm instead. 😂 Discovered it during the paper towel shortage last year, but I’ve never heard of drying cloths. If anybody else said you only needed water to clean windows I’d have unsubscribed, but you’ve never steered me wrong so I’m gonna give it a go. ☺️ Those microfiber cloths are great for cleaning so many things! Kitchen appliances and countertops are so much easier to clean with those cloths too. Hope you have a great weekend!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Hey Audrey, High five for being my twin! I should clarify - cleaning glass, mirrors and windows is an inside job. You will need soap suds and a pressure washer if you're cleaning 55 windows and on the outside of your home. I didn't make that very clear. I'm sorry about that. Do you know how many cloths that would take if you just used damp cloths on outside windows? 😱😂😜

Hi Angela, so I did this test at home & so could you please tell me if I did something wrong? and or any other tip regarding window cleaning?, so what I did was: I Tested the Sprayway foam cleaning spray on a bathroom mirror. I First sprayed the cleaning spray onto the mirror then I used a Microfiber rag to quickly wipe it = The results were ok but not to satisfaction/ Then I used Sprayway again but this time I sprayed the Mirror and I used a squeegee to wipe away the cleaning spray = This time it was near perfect and much better. What did I do wrong there when I used the Microfiber rag? Would you say there is time to use a squeegee but also a time not to use a squeegee and why? Thanks! :)

[@AskAngelaBrown]

If you are removing nicotine from ceilings you may want to use terry cloths with the Krud Kutter. The Terry Cloths will wash out better in the washing machine than microfiber for this purpose. And you may have to do a couple of passes to remove streaking. Removing tar from ceilings and walls is a time consuming project to do it right.

I just have a question, I’ve been watching videos on cleaning glass shower doors using steel wool fine grit 0000 “ what’s your opinion? Your my ‘favorite cleaner ‘

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Steel wool fine grit 000 can be safe on some shower glass doors - but the key is to know what type of glass you are scrubbing, and the type of soil you are trying to remove. In most cases, the shower gunk is soap scum and that can be removed with a degreaser (think dish soap) and a non-scratch scrub sponge.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Your way works as well. Thanks for sharing. The reason we use this method is as professional house cleaners we do not carry dish soap water or beach towels with us. We don't clean windows so we don't carry squeegees and buckets of water. The tools we have available to us to clean an occasional item of class or a mirror are these cloths and this is the process for 99% of the cleaning we will do with glass and mirrors.

Hi Angela, quick question because I have no clients and therefore I have no money. Someone told me I should use my son's old t-shirts and towels to clean with. They told me to cut the sleeves and remove buttons and cut them up in squares. What is your thought on this? Thanks in advance ☺️

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Yes this is possible. Upgrade as soon as possible to microfiber cloths for cleaning. These inexpensive microfiber cleaning cloths amzn.to/3JXsIfd will help you keep at a glance your cloths separate to avoid cross contamination in a client's home. Also you will look more professional with cleaning cloths (using the right tools) rather than old clothes. Use what you have to get started but switch to professional tools when you are able to promote the professional you truly are.

[@gldnglow]

Are they labeled as glass drying? Can a regular one work? Thanks.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

The glass cloths are a very unique cloth in that they are low pile with no fuzz. Here is a paid link to some we use. amzn.to/37j036S and if you hover over the picture you can see a close up view of the texture. And because they are microfiber they grab almost like a silicone oven mit where they don't want to glide across the mirror at all. Somehow it makes them the perfect choice for removing streaks on glass and mirrors. The regular microfiber cloths tend to just smear the water around. Does that make sense?

Angela Brown A good friend has a building maintenance (Windows) business and gave me the tip. I wish I had exact measurements but I don’t, it’s a couple of smaller globs of dishwasher detergent ( doesn’t take much at all) to a gallon of water. Since there are no suds, there are no streaks. I have a black glass gas stove and it drove me insane till she gave me this tip. Now I use it on windows, mirrors, anything that would show streaks, cuts grease and grime like nothing else.

Angela Brown Forgot to say I use a clean cleaning cloth, usually one of my husbands old soft tshirts, I don’t use any softeners or dryer sheets for my cleaning cloths.

[@veronicamoody3981]

I used a glass cleaner that claimed it would not leave streaks, but it left terrible streaks.

[@mezmez5799]

Print ink bleeds when wet. I made that mistake once. I use windex, a squeegee, and a chaser cloth to get the lines polished out and it works great.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Good to know. Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@FixItWithMe]

U are suppose to wash the different styles of microfibers separately?!? So the waffle weaves, separate then the window/glass ones? Also, how to clean with microfibers that u used polish or conditioners?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You can wash the waffle weaves and the glass cloths in the same load, I would put them in mesh bags to separate them. They have these mesh bag kits (paid link amzn.to/3Cqldwb) with smaller mesh bags for one or two cloths that can be tossed in the same laundry load as your other cloths. The purpose of the mesh bags is that it prevents your expensive microfiber cloths from picking up lint from other laundry in the same load.

May I ask how to deal with streaks left by spray on glass cleaners? I cannot get the mirror clean in my rental from whatever has been used on it in the past. It leaves shiny streaks that kind of glow in the dark. I want to get rid of the chemicals, and just clean using vinegar and water. Obviously it is now full of chemical cleaner and doesn't want to come glistening clean.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

To deal with streaks left by spray-on glass cleaners, there are a few things you can do. Firstly, use a microfiber cloth instead of paper towels or newspapers to clean the glass, as these cloths are designed to pick up dirt without leaving streaks. Secondly, use less cleaner as using too much can cause streaks. Thirdly, try switching to a different product that is designed to be streak-free. Finally, make sure to apply the cleaner correctly by spraying it onto the cloth, not directly onto the glass, and working in small sections. By following these tips, you can achieve a streak-free shine on your windows, mirrors, and other glass surfaces.

Yes, here is a paid link to them amzn.to/3XB7N8G thanks for the heads up. I'll update the link in the video as well. :-)

[@colleenpattullo6515]

I like the idea of the cloths but I have found when doing exterior windows or extremely dusty or dirty glass you need a rag that’s used to get the heavy dirt off. That rag gets quite dirty fast so I carry a bucket of water to rinse it in and reuse. Or a cloth squeegee can be used. Then I can use the wetting rag method. Otherwise my wetting rag becomes caked with dirt too fast. With that said I’m talking about washing pretty dirty windows. Not mirrors!!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You're correct, exterior window washing requires a different set of tools for a different type of soil being cleaned. Thanks for the tip. :-)

[@stephenhuskins920]

Just curious because i can't imagine anyone couldn't like your videos. You have every bit of information that anyone could possibly want if they need to clean something. Anyhow, thank you!

video starts at 3:50

[@ericmcquisten]

So wetting cloth + drying cloth … no indication of cleaning solution (agent). What do you use? Dish soap?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Water. No dish soap required. Damp cloth, followed by a glass cloth designed to remove streaks and dry. NOTE: As house cleaners the glass we clean in homes are table tops, mirrors and picture frames for the most part. We are not window cleaners by trade, so the windows we are cleaning are the transom around the front door and maybe a sliding glass door from the kitchen to the back patio where the dog pressed his nose against the glass. We're not talking outside windows or a whole house of them. Does that make sense?

[@ericmcquisten]

@@AskAngelaBrown Yeah it makes sense. Most videos on glass/window cleaning recommend either a few drops of dish soap, or vinegar, or both. But only your video got into the detail of what cloth (applicator) is best for cleaning glass surfaces (including mirrors). I see some of the comments people recommended a squeegee in addition to a microfiber drying cloth (for glass).

[@merksburner6827]

Hey Angela my kids get hand prints and lip and face prints on my window what are the best ways to clean it and how do I get them to stop if tried to get them to stop but they won’t listen.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Window smudges from people and pets is a normal thing especially in the sliding glass doors in the kitchens that lead out to a back patio. It is a daily routine cleaning thing just like wiping down the bathroom vanity.

[@mrsdewdrop9678]

Hi Angela, very informative. I've always had issues with mirrors leaving streaks and a film of "fogginess". I have a question, maybe I missed hearing you say. Is it best to use cold, warm or hot water? Does it make a difference on mirrors to windows?? Thx.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You can give it a try with different temperatures of water. Typically we use whatever comes out of the tap which is room temperature. It might make a difference based on the humidity in the room. Great question. 👍

I wash windows with a little dish soap in distilled water. I dry the inside windows with a squeegee and microfiber towel. After washing I spray distilled water on outside windows and let them airdry.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks for sharing your cleaning tip!

[@AMindInOverdrive]

My previous landlady works as a house cleaner and she swears by those Norwex silver-infused microfiber cloths as the wetting cloth, and the Norwex glass cloth to dry/polish glass and mirrors. I bought 2 pairs and used them to clean greasy hand prints from glass doors on a window cleaning job I was doing. Gotta say I'm impressed by this method. I even use them on car windows if I'm detailing. Sadly, the Norwex are pretty expensive, but I searched online and found cheaper alternatives to the silver-infused cloth....sweet!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

The earth only has so many resources. I love the fact they are using recycled materials. There are a few outlets who are recycling microfiber cloths as stuffing for furniture. Creativity at it's finest. :-)

Do you use lysol disinfectant spray when you clean? Do you recommend it?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Sure, if you can find Lysol, use it. It is an EPA registered List N product that will sanitize sealed surfaces and help protect against the coronavirus. Right now we are using whatever is available. OdoBan has done a great job of keeping us in supply of a similar disinfectant used for sanitizing.

You can order them from Amazon also. They are green (wash) and blue (dry). A little pricey but well worth it. I use them and hot water, no streaks! Only thing I use glass cleaner for is to shine stuff like tubs, toilets, etc. , after I'm done cleaning them.

@@rondalee7704 i’m doing a window cleaning for a client in about a week and have been using squeegees and what not to clean them. I notice i don’t get the perfect wash using squeegees do you think this technique of just a wet micro fiber and a dry microfiber would work better? would love feedback

[@rondalee7704]

@@arcenio429 yes i do. Make sure you wash your clothes separately and i only use like oxyclean for soap. Reduces smearing from cloth. Also i only use hot water. For me that works the best. I don't have alot of luck with a squeegee. I use a squeegee to remove pet hair from furniture and to get excess water off shower walls. Hope this is helpful. Try it on your windows at home first, before client's job. This way you have an idea if this will work for you. Good luck!

[@ema8909]

Very helpful thank you. So ...no Windex? Just water? I always dust it first too. Do you? Or is it unnecessary? Thanks!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Dusting always comes first before you get to the glass. You can dust the glass if you like, but you will be wiping it down with a cloth and that too will remove the dust. If you are using a microfiber glass cloth, you won't need the Windex.

[@p5tom]

Be sure to wash the micro fiber towels correctly, heat is there enemy. Wash them separately from other clothes, use a good free and clear detergent, use warm water, air or tumble dry (no heat)! Also if the micros are very dirty your can add like a 1/4 cup of vinegar (in either the bleach/or softener slot) and be sure to do, if you can an extra rinse. Never use regular detergent, fabric softener to micros and again warmish ..stay away from heat. This is coming form an ex auto detailer ..care for your tools....and the enviro around us.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

This is great! Thank you for sharing your tips!
