October is the time to return to the city apartment after the dacha. But instead of comfort, you are greeted by foggy, dirty windows: dust from cleaning, traces of rain, stains from old moisture. Chemical sprays leave odors and streaks, and cleaning costs are expensive.
Here are four proven methods that will return glass transparency and cleanliness without chemicals.
Method No. 1: Vinegar + water + microfiber
Mix 1 part table vinegar and 2 parts warm water. Apply the solution to the glass using a spray bottle or soft cloth. Rub in a circular motion, then dry with a clean, lint-free microfiber cloth.
Method number 2: Lemon juice + soda
Squeeze the juice from half a lemon, mix with 1 teaspoon of baking soda to form a paste. Apply to stubborn stains. After 5 minutes, rinse with warm water and wipe dry.
Method No. 3: Starch for polishing
After basic cleaning, lightly dust the glass with corn or potato starch and wipe with a dry, soft cloth. Starch absorbs remaining moisture and adds a slight shine.
Method number 4: Newspaper + warm water
Wet the window with warm water, then wipe with dry, but not glossy, newspaper. The ink contains light abrasives that remove micro-dust, and the paper does not leave lint.
These methods are safe for children, animals and wooden frames.
