What is the best homemade cleaning solution for windows?

• <div><p>The best homemade cleaning solution for windows is one gallon of warm, distilled or bottled water mixed with five to ten drops of liquid dish soap. This is <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-secret-window-cleaning.htm">what professional window cleaners typically use</a> when they make their cleaning solutions. Using bottled or distilled water will help avoid hard water stains after cleaning, and the soap will cut through grease, smudges, and debris on your glass.</p></div>

Q: What prevents water spots on glass shower doors?

• <div><p>You can use a commercial water repellent treatment for glass on your shower doors to prevent water spots. Take care to only apply the product to glass. Letting air circulate also helps prevent water spots, as water is less likely to remain on the glass for a long time with good air circulation. Run your vent fan, open a window, and leave the shower door open for about half an hour after using the shower.</p></div>

Q: Can I use vinegar and Dawn soap to remove hard water stains?

• <div><p>Yes, in most cases, you can add a few drops of Dawn to a spray bottle full of vinegar to remove hard water stains. This solution can be used on your dishes, or you can use it in your shower, bathtub, or sink to get rid of hard minerals. Simply combine the ingredients, shake them up, then spray the solution onto limescale-ridden surfaces. Wait around an hour and then scrub the surface down.</p></div>

Q: How often should I clean my windows?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, you should clean your windows and any associated fixtures and treatments every six months. Otherwise, clean them as needed to keep everything running smoothly. If you live in a part of the country with especially hard water, you may have to clean them three or four times per year, and the same goes for areas where insects, pollen, dirt, and other debris can soil your windows and potentially cause issues with the moving parts.</p></div>

Q: Why is my house always dirty even after cleaning?

• <div><p>Clutter and disorganization can make even a clean house seem dirty. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-declutter.htm">Decluttering unused items</a> will make your home seem cleaner, and putting storage solutions into place will give a house a more organized look and feel. Other things that can make a house feel dirty include stained or faded carpets and upholstery, dirty or dingy walls, chipped paint, and disorganized shelves.</p></div>

Had 10 casement sash replaced and Mark was great. Each sash replaced quickly, cleanly, with no problems. It was great to know that Anderson still made my window after 30yrs. and that a company like Window Pros, Inc. is available to install or repair them. Fantastic job. I'll use them again and...

The window itself is very nice but the finishing on the wall over the window doesn’t look nice. It looks like they used half an inch dry wall for the window. The drywall looks thicker than the rest of the room. The people came in and got it done in one day. The window lightens up the room. They...
