    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.

    • @CCFIFresno
      @CCFIFresno Рік тому +13

      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.

    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
      @AskAngelaBrown  2 роки тому +4

      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? 😱😂😜

    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
      @AskAngelaBrown  3 роки тому +4

      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.)

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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!

    ive had a window cleaning biz since 1985 in Honolulu. best way I tell my customers. used dish soap water ,get a small rag ring out excess water wipe window ,let window dry and get a beach town wipe window and you wont have any streaks her way is a long slow process.

    • @AskAngelaBrown
      @AskAngelaBrown  2 роки тому +1

      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.

    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.

    Thank you Angela! I’ve started doing this since working with Norwex. E-cloth is similar. Nothing cleans my glass on my car or in my home better. You always are so knowledgeable and helpful. I know you’ve done a lot of videos but have you done one about properly cleaning wood furniture? I watch a lot of cleaning videos and seem to keep seeing lots of furniture that is damaged and likely to being cleaned improperly. I was always taught not to use liquid cleaning products. I use Pledge or dry dust only. What is your advice about wood care?

    • @AskAngelaBrown
      @AskAngelaBrown  3 роки тому +5

      I'm not a fan of most "polishes." Furniture has it's own shine and sheen. A damp microfiber cloth may be all you need. Unless you have a piece of antique furniture - and the wood, finishes, varnishes and lacquers used then are different than today's pre-engineered wood furniture products. On a job we ask our homeowners what they prefer - some are Pledge users, others Old English, etc. We do have a shelf of custom products for specific customers used only at their place.

I tried to clean it with everything I could find, window cleaners, vinegar, microfiber towel, even a rubber squeegee, you name it, nothing would remove all the oil and it left the mirror with a sort of smeary haze on it. I finally tried cleaning it with a steam cleaner and BOOM! it worked instantly. Took me maybe 2 minutes total. So, when nothing else will do it, try steam, it is amazing!

    • @AskAngelaBrown
      @AskAngelaBrown  8 місяців тому +1

      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.
