Windows And Blinds How to Clean Fast, Safe Easy

..Have you seen those blind cleaners with five fuzzed out brushes they sell for about 20? It's absurd if As Seen On VHS TV where there are millions who would have to spend five seconds to insert the brushes between the blinds and five more to move the brush in oscillation, and repeat this four times across the blinds because of the small lines holding up the blinds so you can't just sweep across without complex motion, and you have to repeat this 10 more times to the sill of the blind. I have 4 blinds in my rooms so the total time for this tedious chore if I paid 20 or more for a piece of fluff that may never have cost the BBB 2 might be about 30 minutes (the BBB is a watch mouse Business Business and they make businesses look good but they have no clout in consumer defence). But it doesn't clean because if you just try to scrape off dust with a brush much of the dust being sticky is so attached to the blind it's much harder to dry clean than the doge where they are in moist waves moist of the month via the basement leak! There is a much easier way using wave power and the tower of Pizza may be richer;

Take the blind out away from the frame and into the bath water, let the water run enough and stop the drain to soak the blind, 5 minutes. Next sweep off the dust on both sides just with a broom, poly bristles work best because the water won't soften them, so do others when real if in a pinch or you just like to live a life of action cleansing shows! Go from side to side and flip over the blind to repeat on both sides. Run out the water and you'll see lots more dirt than with cleaning out those brushes 40 times a blind! Run more water like the shower, say an inch deep, pour in shampoo, well dispersed over the blind to save more cash and time. (Shampoo is experimental, my sister recommends dishwashing detergent; the shampoo may clean faster and better but it may damage the blinds. With shampoo use more water soaks and scrubs and rinses and less suds so you don't have to clean lots of suds from your blinds and windows if you opt to use shampoo. Proceed at your own risk, dishwashing detergent may be safer.) Repeat as with the broom and water side to side, top to bottom, both sides, drain out the detergent or shampoo, dirt and water. Lift your blinds up perhaps to between the handles on the side of the tub and the faucet of the tub or other such way to lift your blinds out to dry (solar power on the line with blondes in the shade is most to reach that sweet cute woman who lives up the superhighway you'd like to meet!). Don't leave them in the tub overnight to dry, this dries in the sids and it will take longer to reclean. For a higher speed cleanup of the water bring your blinds together like an accordian, a vertical roll, and then tap them on a level floor so the water and what's left of the suds are tapped out of one side. Repeat on the other end of the blind so the water on the other side is shaken loose here.

...



You may have to repeat this process in and out of the water a few times if your blinds are unclean, but the like booze light the shine may last many moons!



This takes about the same time per blind, but it's much cheaper, you're spending much more time soaking than scrubbing and scraping, you don't have to lean way over to operate the brush, it makes your room smell better than horse scents if you're always ahead by a nose in life, and most of worth because it cleans much better! The cleanse is deeper so the overall time is half or 1/3 because you don't have to clean so much in general.


Windows

Have you stood there for three hours with the boss on the way a day ahead and the darn streaks won't streak out of sight? There are three important tricks.

To clean the streak makes more streaks if you use a paper towel. Glass cleaner is toxic and polluting, most who don't step back to admire window washing labor live in a hi rent district! Vino seems to be rich and it didn't do the trick for el meo and otros. Here's how to use water to clean your windows and glass fast cheap and easy.

FIRST put water in a spray jug, you can store it in the refrigerator by looping the spray handle over one of the shelf beams in the door (great to spray on your arms and legs to stay cool in summer shirts and cut offs, the best I've found by far for summer cooling, so good you don't even have to cool the spray jug in the ice box more than the three most hot days of the year. It's also a good water source out in the heat by drinking the water from the jug or even life saving on the ship). After first dry cleaning your window like with a broom or other brush to remove loose stuff and going from general to specific (often far more efficient) spray the water to clean on the window well and let it soak a few minutes, this is important because it scrubs a lot for you so you don't have to scrub 5 hours.

SECOND; Go Over the Soaked in Water with a Poly Squeegee, I got mine at Big Lots for just 2, I found this by accident, and it's not obvious, so I'm sharing this method with you so you won't have to try all the other ways that aren't as fast or easy. The squeegee is of real worth because in essence it dries the glass in about 10 seconds without many streaks. To reduce streaks I go from left to right in rows, top to bottom with the squeegee a bit bevelled not at 90 degrees so the water is swept up and flows to the bottom of the motion. The bottom of each line is the top of the line below, so the majority of the real wet surface is almost completely dry with the water at the base of the glass if of a flat surface, like a wall.

You're left with an almost clean surface with almost no water, fast and at no cost. To finish up the small lines of water or other small debris you may want to go over with a bit of baking soda on a towel, it's a good abrasive, and it's especially good to take off adhesive of like tape, this is far faster and easier to remove than by other methods, most ahesives like tape are rubber based, and baking soda removes them fast if you first loosen them with perhaps a butter knife. This will leave some powder on your window or mirror but you can finish up by either more water and squeegee or if the area left to be cleaned is small,

THIRD Go Over the Window With a Paper Towel that Has Just a Bit of Moisture on it as you finish. This is the way to no streaks as you finish up so you're not in the endless loop of, more scrubbing, more fibers and marks, and more scrubbing to cleanse these. By using just a bit of moisture on your paper towel that dries right up just when you are through, the small debris and streaks are themselves cleaned. All this combined, the spray water and soak, the squeegee, and the moist to dry paper towel to finish up makes it so you can clean your windows without endless loops not in hours but in perhaps just a few minutes.
