"Babushkin" method against light pollution
If your house is located in a not very dirty area and the windows are not covered with a black oily film, then the task of washing is quite simple to cope with. The sequence of actions consists in washing each frame in turn.
We start with the inner slopes and glass sashes. Take a natural cloth or sponge. With soapy water we wipe off traces of dirty formations, traces of flies. We pay special attention to handles and glazing beads. Rinse everything, wipe it dry with a clean cloth. We turn to glass, and they always start from the inside. After rinsing, wipe with a newspaper. This removes streaks and adds a special polish.
In a country house, there is always minor pollution, so this method is quite enough. Special devices for windows will help to bring modernity and speed up the process: water drains, nozzles with a sponge for telescopic handles, rubber scrapers. But it is still recommended to end with a newspaper.
What to do if the windows are very dirty
Heavy contamination causes additional difficulties during washing and great problems in arranging divorces. A layer of sebaceous deposits cannot be easily removed. Always start with frames, glazing beads, ebb. It is more convenient to work using a bowl of detergents and a sponge.
When moving to glass surfaces, change the water, add an agent such as "Mister Muscle", "Aos", "Cinderella". If there is significant contamination, you can lather and leave for a couple of minutes. To avoid problems with streaks, it is better to apply the soap solution twice, then rinse with clean water, remove the water with a scraper. Modern drugs greatly facilitate the work - these are sprays, liquid products, gels, aerosol foams.
Advice. When using a water drain, each subsequent lane should overlap the previous one, a couple of centimeters is enough. Use a microfiber cloth to wipe the wiper gum after each pass. Then sand the glass surface with microfiber or natural fiber cloth until streaks and streaks disappear completely.
A few secrets and tricks
• The use of ammonia helps to obtain the ideal gloss and maximum transparency. 2-3 drops are needed for a bowl of aqueous solution.
• Washing the window on a cloudy day will ensure that the cleaning solution dries more slowly. This weather helps to identify wiping streaks.
• For painted surfaces, it is best to use liquid soap.
• Move the mop and squeegee only from top to bottom.
• For dirty glasses, a mixture of crushed chalk and vodka is effective. Diluted to a creamy state.
• Fly marks can be easily removed by cutting the onion.
• Glittering clean glass, washed with starch water (tablespoon per liter).
• Adding vinegar to clean rinse water (2 tablespoons per liter) repels flies.
• Gruel from tooth powder and water is applied to the surface and, after drying, is removed with a dry cloth.
Features of washing plastic windows
Wooden frames are less and less common. The advantages of plastic are obvious, but they require delicate and careful handling. The surface of the profile is quite vulnerable and abrasive substances and hard sponges are not suitable here. Glass care remains unchanged, even if there is dusting - all this is inside the frame and cannot be damaged.
During washing, pay special attention to fittings, drainage holes, seals. Before processing the glass, open the sash and clean the drain channel, drainage holes. Usually there are two of them, and if there is an accumulation of debris and dirt in them, the water will not be able to leave and through the ventilation in the profile, located at the bottom of the end of the frame, it will enter the glass unit. As a result, the window will fog up, and frost will appear inside in winter.
Rubber seals provide a tight fit and quickly deteriorate without proper care. Wash not only their surface, but also the plane under them. After drying, be sure to apply silicone grease intended for plastic windows. Do this 2-3 times a year, then the gum will not dry out and crack. Use machine oil or proprietary lubricants for the handle mechanism.
