In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of cleaning your windows effectively, and introduce products from Green Llama Clean as an eco-friendly alternative.
What You'll Need

- Spray bottle
- Microfiber cloth or squeegee
- Bucket of warm water
- Soft brush or sponge
- Lint-free cloth
Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Windows
Step 1: Prepare Your Cleaning Solution
Start by preparing your cleaning solution. You can use a store-bought window cleaner or make your own with water and vinegar. For an eco-friendly option, consider the Green Llama Refillable Window and Glass Cleaning Kit Tablets. Simply drop a tablet into a spray bottle filled with water and let it dissolve.
Step 2: Remove Dust and Loose Dirt
Before applying the cleaning solution, use a soft brush or sponge to gently remove any loose dirt and dust from the window surface and frame. This prevents scratching when you start wiping.
Step 3: Apply the Cleaning Solution
Spray your chosen cleaning solution generously onto the window. Make sure to cover all areas, including the edges where dirt often accumulates.
Step 4: Wipe or Squeegee the Windows
Using a microfiber cloth or squeegee, wipe the window from top to bottom. For best results, use a straight, consistent motion. If using a squeegee, wipe the blade with a lint-free cloth between strokes to avoid streaks.
Step 5: Dry and Polish
After removing the cleaning solution, use a dry, lint-free cloth to polish the glass. This will ensure a streak-free finish and a sparkling clean window.
Additional Tips
- For extra dirty windows, consider using a pre-cleaning step with a bucket of warm, soapy water to loosen stubborn grime before applying the cleaning solution.
- Clean windows on a cloudy day or when the windows are in the shade to prevent the cleaning solution from drying too quickly and leaving streaks.
- For hard-to-reach windows, consider using an extendable squeegee or hiring professional window cleaning services.
