Windows are considered the portals to the outside world. A window can do more than provide a room with a view. They invite nature into your home, bringing in loads of sunshine, fresh air, warmth, color, beauty and natural scents of the great outdoors.
When well kept and clean, windows add a touch of tasteful elegance and architectural interest to your home, creating a pleasant and hospitable atmosphere.
At the office, windows are a direct reflection of your business. When windows are kept nice and clean, you make a huge impression on your clients and visitors.

Your draperies will be like new before you know it-attractive to the eye and of course compliment your good taste, after we gently lift out soil and stains then we will dry out your furnishings within minutes.
Use a hand-held vacuum cleaner to clean window screens and remove dirt from frames and window tracks.
Glass
Wash the outside of the windowpanes from left to right and the inside from top to bottom. This way if they are streaked you'll know which side to do over.
Wash from top to bottom so drips don't streak or spot those places you've already washed.
Crumpled newspapers still provide the best cleaning but make your hands black. Try cotton rags, percale pillowcases, a cloth diaper or a coffee filter (works GREAT on mirrors too!).
Use a soft toothbrush to clean the inside corners.
Screens
Cleaning - Lay screen against an outside wall or fence. Rinse thoroughly with a hose to remove most of the dirt. Scrub with a nylon brush and a mixture of dish detergent and water. Dry with an old towel.
If aluminum storm windows don't glide smoothly in their tracks, make a scrunched ball of waxed paper and rub it along the edge of the window casing a few times.
To clean aluminum frames, use liquid soap and a scouring pad. After rinsing, put a few drops of vegetable oil on the tracks. Move the window up and down to distribute the oil evenly.
Use a lint brush on the window screen to pick up dust and grime (reserve that one for windows only not clothing).
Drapery
Tie a fishing sinker or similar small weight to the ends of curtain drapery cords to keep them from flapping around.
Use Velcro instead of hooks on drapery tiebacks.
If curtains won't stay closed, put a magnet in each of the bottom hems.
When a roller shade won't work, keep it in place with Velcro. Attach the loop side to the windowsill and the hook side to the bottom of the shade.
If your drapes are backed with the rubber-type insulator and part of the backing tears, replace it with the caulking compound used to seal around bathtubs and windows.
Mend your torn drapes with iron-on interfacing.
Windowsills
Spot problems - try a cloth dipped in a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water.
Apply a coat of clear paste wax or floor wax to outdoor windowsills to protect them from dirt and moisture (this also works well on wood furniture kept outside).
Mini-blinds are always dust collectors. Before hanging new or just-cleaned blinds, spray them with anti-static guard. It'll take the dust longer to build up and easier to remove when it does!
Metal or Plastic Blinds
Hang the blinds on self-stick hooks in your shower and use a hand-held shower hose and dishwashing liquid to wash and air dry.
Hang the blinds over a clothesline, then clean with a soapy brush and rinse with a garden hose.
