Maintaining That Professional Shine

There is nothing quite like the feeling of looking through freshly cleaned, crystal-clear windows. While a professional regular service from Glass Tech is the best way to keep your windows pristine, here are some expert tips to help you maintain your glass between our scheduled visits.

Avoid Cleaning in Direct Sunlight

If you decide to touch up a window, never do it in direct sunlight. The sun's heat dries the cleaning solution or water too quickly on the glass, before you can wipe it off. This rapid drying is the primary cause of unsightly streaks and water spots. Always clean windows on a cloudy day or when the glass is in the shade.

Use Microfibre Cloths

Forget about paper towels or old newspapers, which can leave lint and ink residue behind. High-quality microfibre cloths are the ultimate tool for window cleaning. They are designed to trap dust, absorb moisture, and polish glass to a streak-free shine without scratching.

Don't Forget the Inside

While the exterior of your windows bears the brunt of the weather, the interior glass accumulates a film of dust, cooking grease, pet prints, and fingerprints. Cleaning the inside of your windows once a month using a damp microfibre cloth followed by a dry polishing cloth will dramatically improve the overall clarity and brightness of your rooms.
