EASIEST Way To Clean Window Tracks 💥

[@JuliaMcLean6559]

I’ve always used Q-tips for the little tiny cracks and crevices works every time! 😊

[@Kandicookheller]

Me too, and if you don't have q-tips, use an ice pick with a cloth over it. I use my ice pick for tight spots often. It is sharper than a q-tip and gets into those teeny tiny corners. I hate cleaning window and sliding door tracks but they get filthy.

[@dustbat]

Like the corners we see in video?🦇

[@RockerProf]

Me too!!

[@joypalos474]

And tooth picks.

[@JoanLewis-e5q]

Me too

[@laskatz3626]

Thank you for the tip of starting out with a DRY area and using a toothbrush and then vacuuming before proceeding. I’ve always just started spraying cleaner and I’ve never been able to get corners clean. Very helpful. ❤

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Happy to help

[@anam8108]

I do all of this and I also finish with a spray of rain x or some kind of water repellant. It helps the debris to just slide away.

[@KathyBGood]

great idea!

Toothbrush to the rescue again - the single most important cleaning tool in the history of humankind!

[@dianeweaver7281]

@@debracisneroshhp2827 and don't forget popsicle stix for poking the rag in corners

[@fedgirl7318]

I would dry vacuum first, and then clean. Cutting into a sponge to fit the tracks will clean it (wet the sponge after slicing it). Then use a small child’s toothbrush to get into the corners.

[@mollypitcher9380]

Good idea! I think I’ll vacuum first, then start digging up the dirt, and then vacuum again. Thanks! (Ugh! What a fun day I’m going to have!)

[@leonadaly3520]

Mascara wand works great for those tight corners 😊

[@karenholley8356]

@leonadaly3520 Great tip! Thank you!

[@6hZCBpMy]

Ooh good idea! Thanks for sharing.

[@TheToastedChannel]

I use a steamer. Blasts the dirt out of all the corners very quickly.

[@smerchly]

I apply silicone spray on both the bottom and side tracks,makes them slide easier .

[@kgktan]

For corners,use a small brush, to remove dirt after spraying detergent.Then wrap a wooden sharp chopsticks with paper towel or rag and clean the corners.

[@tonidavis1045]

I use a flat head screw driver or paint scraper for the corners.

[@melbird-dw3su]

I already do this, thought there would be something new.

[@sarahnorris872]

I just use Lysol wipes, gets it clean. Do it every other week, the dirt is not so bad

[@carolynmcdonald2746]

These are great tips. I follow a similar method but I use an old paintbrush and brush the loose dirt off. Toothpicks also work great to scrape dirt from the crevices and corners.

[@CleanWithConfidence]

you are welcome

[@alanmccaugherty7131]

For the hard to clean corners a set of dental picks / scrapers work good.

[@KathyBGood]

really good idea, thanks!

[@exnjute]

After scraping and dry vacuuming, I use my own mix of Krud Cutter, Baking Soda and a little Dawn mixed with water. Put in a spray bottle, spray on liberally, then let it sit for 10 minutes....then tooth brush scrub. Then I vac with my wet/dry vac, before wiping down with clean rags.

[@dominicjohnson8428]

I lay a folded towel over the inside window threshold and blast away with an electric pressure washer (much lower power and volume than a gas powered one) from the inside of the the window pointed outside. All the crevices get cleaned. One towel is good for 4-6 windows depending on how much air is blowing from the outside to the inside and how dirty the tracts are. Don't forget to blast the undersurface of the bottom of the window. There is usually a rubber seal that gets very dirty. If there is a horizontal channel along the bottom that is mostly covered except on the ends, you can clean the the whole channel from one end with the pressure washer as well.

[@drewhsu151]

Nice tutorial, and I found rubbing candle wax on the rails pretty helpful

[@LB-tw7gg]

Take a used drier sheet or two and get it in there it picks up the dirt better. Then go in with cleaner and a toothbrush.

[@SchoolBullyDeEverett]

Ok

[@SchoolBullyDeEverett]

Thank you

[@Mamakate2382]

Just curious as to what is the hard way. Based on the title, I thought there was an EASIER way than this, which is the only way I’ve ever known to clean them.

[@CleanWithConfidence]

The hard way is just to start wiping them with a wet cloth before vacuuming first. Then you end up going back and forth rinsing the cloth out and it takes forever trying to get all the trash out.

[@yvonneiwasa6507]

Easier to use a steam vacuum

[@1957es]

I use toothpicks to loosen and push out, then vacuum. Gets every bit of debris.

[@cmwHisArtist]

I use one of my cheap stiff 1/2” wide art brushes to go down straight into the corners.

[@waynebinky]

I use a toothbrush and do a dry run on it first with a shop vac. It's amazing how much dirt comes off. Anything remaining I spray a solution on, let it soak briefly, then wipe it clean.

[@maramakesjournals2319]

Always a labor-intensive job. Phew! 💜

[@MoonDog21]

Just use a sport water bottle to flush out the dirt and debris. Water will drain out those bottom slits. Use a sponge to aid the process and pick up any excess water but doesn’t have to be perfectly detailed like a Ferrari.

[@angelasevier6520]

Toothbrush. Make up q tips with pointed ends. Everything about this video is spot on. Clean dust and dirt before you apply chemicals and water 😊

[@mollypitcher9380]

EXCELLENT + INFORMATIVE! I also use a tiny water color painting brush to get into crevices… THANKS🌸

[@ravenmeyer3740]

I clean the window tracks once a week. I use ammonia and water, flush the corners with the spray until it’s almost dirt free. Unless you lift the windows out of the tracks, the corners will never be immaculately clean.

[@pytube777]

Wow, once a week?

[@jl535]

Yeah, once a week?!

[@sufyb6432]

Once a year works for me.

[@Olivia-nd6mu]

Once every 3 years

[@basilsorbet7314]

Comments have good suggestions. I’d like to add using a set of small hummingbird feeder cleaning brushes work well, and if the debris is dry I use my small car vacuum to get it up.

[@ccaatthheerriinnee]

If you live in a townhouse up stairs what do you recommend on cleaning the windows

[@gabrielamieses4431]

Wait for a raining day 🌧 ☔️, so you can throw lots of water, without being noticed 😉 Thereafter, clean them 2-3 times a month, with Lysol wipes (or a damp microfiber towel).

[@judys5767]

If the screen cannot be removed, use a skewer or chop stick;; wrap a rag around it to clean the small groove. Corners can be cleaned with a knife or other pointed object to scrap dirt.

[@esterrios3998]

I actually thought you had a sure fire method!

[@dianarockwell6256]

I’m partial to the steam cleaners. But make sure you use distilled water. It’s forceful enough to blow out debris and things from the corners.

[@joycereed9753]

I use my steam cleaner with the attachment that narrows the out coming steam to about the size of a shrunken pea. It only takes about two minutes per window.

[@teresamcnulty8471]

You could get the skinny part with swabs with alcohol.

[@scottk2774]

I missed the part where you recommend Crest or Colgate. We use Aqua Fresh, will that work?

[@robertjannush4403]

What about sliding screen outside doors ? Would you recommend the same process for this type of screen door itself ?

[@meagainandagain5756]

Vacuum then use tire polish spray foam.

[@evasochocki5209]

This is probably my least favorite chore, but using the vacuum with the brush attachment looks like a good idea. I usually try to do it with the dustbuster which doesn't really work all that well.

[@CleanWithConfidence]

🙂

[@cpholesa1968]

I use an old electric toothbrush.

A small, clean and dry, paint brush to clean hard to reach areas. You don’t even have to pop out the window screen.

Here's my advice, don't let it get so dirty. Just a little bit of effort every few weeks makes the job easier.

[@kalayne6713]

We moved into a rental that was filthy. The stress of the move and caring for my daughter battling ovarian cancer, has done me in, too. We have been here 3 months, I have been too ill and have torn tendons due to cleaning and packing the last time and today I received the dreaded email about a house inspection. I am so stressed, I just want to cry but instead, I will let my family sleep without the worry of the inspection and fight the awful agency tomorrow. Regulations say they have to give me 7 days notice but they always give me 2. How they run a successful business is beyond me. Actually, it's good, reliable tenants like me who pay on time always that make the difference. I should be valued instead of being judged. Home owners, count your blessings that you don't have to go through this. At 72, I am too old for this stress. But, as usual, somehow, I will get it done.

Have you ever used Dirtex they sell it at Home Depot used to be in the paint section a few years ago people found out how great it worked are when do you go online and buy it you can find it for like four hours I can but you see people trying to sell two cans for $25 sometimes more than that because it works so good you can actually buy it by the box and mix it up yourself I never did that my wife was driving home from work one night and the temperature was changing so I was getting colder out from the summertime so the spider was in her truck why she was driving home from work she went off drove it to the closest store to target or Walmart because she works like an hour away from home and got a can of bug spray and she had that stuff all over the windows on the inside of the truck I want to have their Windex and paper towels and I am spraying the windows and trying to clean it off and it was just smearing but I use the Windex a few times to get as much Windex after windows I mean as much bug spray of the windows as I could then I sprayed the dirt Tex and when that stuff sprays it comes out like a mist leave it sit on the window for like 30 seconds 40 seconds then you wipe it off you probably have to do it a few times and then that gets the bug spray off the windows because that stuff is great and then after that I will clean it with the Windex and that’s how you can tell us all the bug spray is off No like I use Windex and I get those nice paper towels the Vivid I will clean the windows with Windex at first but then I use the third text on the the window frame all that what you’re cleaning up there the actual windows then you fold them down and when you spray that stuff on you leave it sit for 30 seconds 40 seconds sometimes a little longer you will have to do it a few times but you will be amazed how great it works i’ve never used anything like that stuff and believe me I use the purple power used to use simple green when I power wash my house I put like a cup full of the purple power in a 5 gallon bucket with Dawn soap I make 3 buckets at a time like I know good stuff to use but that their tax I’ve never used nothing like it there’s nothing like it
