Dirty glass except unaesthetic appearance carry a number of imperceptible at first sight negative points... This is a deterioration in the natural light of an office space. At first glance, it is almost invisible. But if you take into account and calculate how much excess electricity is spent in a year for turning on the light earlier in the evening and turning it off later in the morning, the figure will turn out to be very sensitive. Washing windows allows you to significantly affect the consumption of electricity!
The hygienic design standards for office space require enough windows so that the personnel located in them receive required amount natural sunlight during daytime hours.
Artificial light, whatever lamps are used - incandescent, gas-discharge, LED, always differs in spectrum from natural daylight. Constant long-term stay in a room with electric lighting negatively affects the emotional background of employees, reduces labor productivity, and increases the risk of illness.
If you do not wash windows for a long time, then even with the visible absence of strong pollution, a thin layer of dust and dirt serves as a source of dustiness in the air. Indoor air, even when closed windows is constantly moving and the smallest specks of dust from the glass are picked up by convective currents and through the respiratory organs go straight into the lungs. therefore dirty windows in offices and work spaces are harmful to human health in many ways.
Each work collective has a full-time or visiting cleaner, whose duties include regular wet cleaning. The floor is kept clean all the time, but not enough attention is paid to keeping the office windows clean. Although, as we just found out, washing window panes is both economy, and necessary hygiene, and labor productivity.
How often should you clean your office windows?
Depending on which climatic or industrial zone your office is located in and how it is used, what size and geometry of space it is. If there are constant winds with dust or large enterprises smoke with pipes washing windows must be done often. Also if your office is used for the constant reception of visitors and clients of your organization. With a large number of visitors coming from a dusty street, and constantly opening doors are brought into your office rooms a large amount of invisible dust, which settles in a thin layer on the windows.
As a minimum, the window cleaning procedure should be done at least 1 - 2 times a year in rooms that are not used for a constant flow of customers and visitors. For example, in autumn and spring.
Who should clean the windows in the office?
For the common good, you can even involve your employees in the process. But you must agree that every production process has its own laboriousness and window cleaning is no exception. It is unlikely that your employees will be incredibly happy if their duties, in addition to the main ones, will also include non-core ones, such as washing windows. It is important to understand that everyone should do their own thing and that is why we suggest that you put the care of your windows into our hands.

Once I lived in a small family in another city. Small families, if anyone does not know, these are apartments with common corridor, kitchen, bathroom, bathroom (shower). There were no problems with cleaning - we took turns washing the corridor, bathroom and kitchen. I remember that my room was always clean.
There are different categories of people, namely women: some bring perfect cleanliness in the house all the time, do not give anyone peace from this whim; others start cleaning when places of dirt and dust accumulation in different places... I, frankly, and unfortunately, closer to the second category of women.
But there is a middle ground.You just need to know exactly how often you need to clean the apartment, wash the windows, vacuum the carpets. And knowledge will already help you tune in to the right wave of cleaning.
The most polluted places in the apartment: bathroom, sinks, stove. Ewhen it comes to flooring carpets, the dirtiest are the corridor rugs. It is these places that are recommended to be cleaned, wiped every day. It is there that the greatest amount of dirt, microbes accumulates, harmful bacteria... That is, in the evening, after the final washing of the dishes, it is worth wiping the sink with the appropriate detergent and washing the stove. Then do the cleaning with a vacuum cleaner or brush the rugs in the hallway. And after all this, clean the toilet bowl with a brush.
Every day with a broom, you need to sweep out all the dust on the floor, all the debris. It is recommended to wash the floor only once a week.so that it lasts longer, and also so that furniture does not deteriorate, which often has to be touched with a wet rag when cleaning the floor. Of course, if there are animals in the house, then it will be necessary to wash the floors 2-3 times a week. You also need to do it in the presence of young children in the apartment. Their bodies have not yet adapted to their environment, and they may develop an allergic reaction to dust.

How often should windows be washed
It is recommended to wash the windows 2 times a year: in early spring and in the fall, before winter. Do not be discouraged if you did not manage to wash before cold weather and insulate the windows (if necessary) in the fall. Modern windshield wipers can wash windows down to -10 o C.
But in particularly unfavorable places for living, where there is a lot of soot, emissions of exhaust gases into the atmosphere, it is recommended to wash the windows more often, depending on their pollution.
Plastic windows have their own cleaning requirements. Profiles should be wiped with a soft sponge or soft cloth to avoid scratching. Rubber seal coat with silicone oil.
In any case, at the windows, profiles and frames are first washed with a simple solution with soap, then the joints and only then they start washing the glasses.
Everyone should know exactly what tools, tools need to be prepared for cleaning their windows. Mandatory list:

There are some more tricks for cleaning glass:
For tarnished glasses, a small amount of vinegar is added to the water; by the way, this will scare away flies from the windows;
To make the glass shine, they are washed with water and starch.
How often should carpets be cleaned
Cleaners vacuum the floor carpets every day. And this is not forbidden if the carpets are lint-free. Otherwise, the pile will be quickly damaged. In addition, you need to know that this is not always effective. If you just drive quickly back and forth on the carpet, the carpet will not clean well. Dust usually lays between the fibers of the carpet. Therefore, you need to vacuum slowly, staying at each site for at least a few seconds. But you don't need to do this often. Be especially careful with new carpets. They are recommended to be vacuumed at first from the inside out.
Wet cleaning of carpets should be done once every 3 months. Moisture does not contribute to the durability of the carpet. It is especially dangerous if something spills or gets wet on the carpet. In this case, if you do not dry it well, then the base and fibers of the carpet may become moldy, bad smell... Perhaps such a carpet will already be unusableand you have to throw it away. To prevent this from happening, you need to try to dry the carpet as quickly as possible, but not with hot agents, objects (iron, hairdryer), but with a fan or expose it to a draft.
If pile wrinkles form on the carpet, it is recommended to hold this place for 5-10 minutes over a saucepan with boiling water, then beat on this place from the inside with a beater from twigs, comb the pile with a rare metal comb and iron it from the inside with a moderately warm iron until dry.
For damp cleaning of carpets, you can use a solution ammonia (2 tablespoons per liter of water), a solution of salt with citric acid (1 tablespoon salt + 2 tsp. citric acid per liter of water). With a brush soaked in solution, clean the carpet over the entire surface and dry well.
Do not forget to take the carpet out into the snow in winter and knock it out in the snow, and in the summer to knock it out, hanging it on the crossbar (preferably two parallel ones, with the pile down, and then turn it over and clean it with a brush). Also, on the beams, you can dry the carpet in the sun, nap down.
Oily and any stains are removed before the carpet is damp.
But carpet detergents are usually only suitable for carpets on synthetic base... There are carpets (jute-based, hemp, even synthetic) that cannot be washed; wet processing is contraindicated due to the possibility of shedding.
What about a woolen carpet?
Unfortunately, there are very few recommendations for cleaning wool carpets. It is believed that they need to be taken to dry cleaning. Met another recommendation for cleaning such a carpet folk remedy - brine sauerkraut homemade without salt and spices.
Recommendations for washing and cleaning woolen carpets from " Useful Tips"Soviet times are as follows: wash the carpet in salt water with the addition of ammonia, or simply in a solution with a small addition of ammonia, then wipe with warm water and then with water with vinegar essence (1 tsp for 5 liters of water).
So our Persian rugs, rugs self made, can also be cleaned, but carefully. Do not abuse the vacuum cleaner on the front side so as not to damage the pile. Occasionally make wet processing, or take it to dry cleaning.
Someone makes beautiful Persian carpets for us ?! This is done by wonderful women workers. We just need to keep their labor for a long time.
Windows are the hallmark of the house, or rather its owner. Even if inside your home sparkles with cleanliness, dull windows, windows with stains, dusty frames will ruin the whole impression.
There is no definite answer to the question about the frequency of cleaning windows. You need to focus on the following factors:
- climatic conditions in the area of \u200b\u200byour residence,
- apartment floor,
- the degree of gas pollution in the area,
- are there any nearby industrial enterprises, facilities under construction, highways, a railway.
Washing windows in large cities should be carried out 2 times within 6 months. If you live near a traffic intersection, then dust will constantly settle on your windows. Therefore, they will have to be washed every month. If the house is located on the outskirts and in a non-gassed area, then 1 wash within 6 months is enough.
The lower the floor on which the apartment is located, the more dust will be on the windows, since cars and the wind actively raise it.
Washing windows in winter
In winter, due low temperatures washing windows is not advisable. Firstly, because of the detergent, the glass is covered with a thin layer of ice, it does not look aesthetically pleasing. When this layer of ice begins to melt in March, smudges remain on the glass.
Secondly, in winter, because of the wide-open windows, your family members can catch cold and get sick.
Washing windows in autumn
Therefore, it is extremely important to prepare windows for the winter season before the onset of cold weather. If you order windows to be washed in September, then by the time of the cold snap they will be clean and dry, the effect of the procedure will last until spring.
It usually rains in October and November. If by this time you have not yet washed the windows, then they will "be decorated" with spots from dried drops and traces of smudges.
Washing windows in spring
With the onset of spring, the windows should be tidied up again. Dirty window glass poorly missed sunlight (by 15-30%), but the bright spring sun so cheers us up after a long cold winter!
In addition, a lack of light contributes to a slowdown in metabolism, a sluggish and sedentary lifestyle, and vision problems. Scientists have proven that dim lighting is one of the factors in the appearance excess weight, skin problems and can even provoke depression.
Washing windows in summer
Windows should be washed in the summer if the factors listed at the very beginning of the article are present, as well as if it is planned family celebration or any other celebration.
As a rule, in the summer on glass and window fittings also a lot of dirt settles. If it is stuffy in your apartment and you often ventilate rooms, then all the dust will settle on furniture, lamps, household appliances... Therefore, it is much easier to periodically remove dust and dirt from the glass.

Ideal windows are when the glasses are transparent and the frames are snow-white
And between the rubber bands, and inside the opening from all sides - there is also no dust and dirt. Many people think that "windows" are equal to "glass" and only wash them. This is a dangerous delusion for health - a huge amount of dust accumulates on frames during the winter. And under the rubber bands construction dust can be stored even for years, it is rarely washed out from there. Therefore, in the summer, the windows slam and drive all this old and new dust into the apartment. It seems to have washed the floor, and the next day again dirt, dust and sand. Therefore, windows must be washed thoroughly and from all sides - frames, between them, under rubber bands, glass and window sills. 20 minutes for 1 window now, and then you need to dust and mop the floor in the whole apartment much less often - checked.
It is good to wash windows in cloudy weather. When the sun is active, the spray dries quickly and leaves streaks
They will, of course, be clean, but this way it is much harder to achieve the effect " clear glass". But it is absolutely amazing - this huge opening panorama through the glittering invisible glass. So a gloomy day is perfect for this task.
To clean windows, you need to have only 5 simple things on the farm.
A regular household cloth, kitchen sponge, gouge, any alkaline cleaner and microfiber cloth. This combination is enough to save a lot of effort, money and time on this activity. There are also various expensive technological things for washing, but if you rarely wash windows, then this set for a couple of rubles is optimal.
becleancleaningservice.com The money-grubber is a very important thing
And many do not use it, "dehydrate" the window with newspapers or microfiber cloths. But in this case, the consumption of rags is colossal. Everyone knows that at the end you need to wipe the divorce window. And if you don't use a grubber, your mashing cloth gets wet very quickly and fails. 1 window \u003d 1 new cloth, something like this. Do you have 10 windows? So, you need to prepare 10 rags, otherwise you will have stains, everything is very simple. The final cloth should be almost dry until the end of the wash! Therefore, the scraper will save you a lot of time and keep 1 cloth in good working order until the end of the cleaning of all windows. The best moneymakers are still sold at Ikea for 2 euros, so be sure to buy one for yourself. Rags will cost you more.
Divorces appear in three cases
1. Wash off the dirt poorly and start rubbing 2. Wash off the product poorly and start rubbing 3. Rub it with wet microfiber. When all this is observed, there are no divorces. And it's very easy to do.
Many people start washing windows like this: spray on the glass, 2 minutes - and you're done. No, that will not do
Because the window remains dirty - the frames get blacker and blacker every year, and this becomes very noticeable over time. Dust and dirt under the rubber bands have already been discussed. Therefore, we start with the frames - wash them from all sides, between them, under rubber bands, then glass, then window sills, then we finish near the handles and the handles themselves. It is only at first glance tedious, in life such a systematic approach will save a lot of time, because you will not need to wash the same places a hundred times. Over time, you will be able to do this with your eyes closed and in the dark.
First - preparation
Just wash the frames on both sides with water without any product 2-3 times, between the frames, under the rubber bands and glass. Systematically walk around the perimeter - 5 minutes of time, and now your window is ready to use the tool. We summarize - first my clean water, and only then add the product, not immediately. Do not forget that poorly washed off dirt is the cause of stains.
domspline.com Next - you need to do the same with the tool
The product should be used to clean both glass and frames. There are a lot of finger stains on the frames, so just spray it all around. If there is no special window cleaner, but you really want to wash it right now, even dishwashing detergent will do. Windows can ideally be washed even with soap, if there is nothing at all. Apply it on a sponge and walk 1 time around the entire perimeter - frames, glass, all together. It's 5 minutes.
Here is such a window in black foam - the most correct
And guarantees us good result... Now it's time to wash it off. Twice, no less, so that the outlet water remains clean. It's 5 minutes. Remember that a poorly washed product is another reason for stains.
After such procedures, the window will almost creak - it is perfectly clean, but still very wet
Therefore, we pull the water down with a grabber - if from top to bottom, then the water will flow down and fill the window sill. Therefore, from side to side is optimal on a standard window.
After pulling together, you will have only a few places for polishing - these are glass in the joint with the frame
It is very important to wipe everything neatly here. On the glass - in the places where the money-grubber passes. And the frames - you also need to remove the droplets from them and align.
And for all this you only need 1-2 microfiber, not a whole store.
That's all. Enjoy flawlessly clean windows - the effect of such a wash will be very long and your apartment will shine and delight you from the inside and outside. And now the real spring is coming.
Material prepared
If even a little dust has collected on the window structure, then it is able to trap about 30% of the light, and with heavy pollution - up to 70%. Poor lighting affects the health and well-being of residents.
Why does dirt appear
Knowing the reasons for the contamination of the structures, you can quickly solve the problem and perform the entire cleaning process correctly. These are the main contamination factors.
- Precipitation... Snow, hail, rain pollute the outside quickly enough. In addition to stains, stains appear.
- Dust. It appears not only outside, but also inside the room. We wipe it regularly, especially in the warm season. We do not leave dust on the windowsill, between the frames.
- Temperature differences... Leads to the accumulation of condensate. Especially a lot of it can be in kitchen areawhere food is constantly being prepared. Dripping occurs.
- Smoking. A nicotine film appears on the glasses.
During the repair process, glass and frames can get paints and varnisheswhich are difficult to remove. In order not to damage the surface, during work we protect them by covering them with foil, newspapers, and cloth.
Preparing for the "general"
Before washing plastic windows at home, first of all, we clean the windowsill. We remove foreign objects from it. We carry the flower pots to the bathroom for “bathing”. We send curtains with accumulated dust to washing machine... If there are blinds, then you also need to worry about their cleanliness. Wipe them gently. To prevent the accumulation of dust, we spray with a special antistatic agent.
We give mosquito nets special attention... Dirt accumulates on them quickly enough, regardless of the season. Therefore, they need regular care. The easiest way is to shower it. Meshes are installed only when completely dry.
Many owners hang foil on the windows, especially in those rooms where it is very hot and where direct sunlight constantly falls. We remove it before cleaning. We throw it away or reuse it. We hang after the surfaces are completely dry.
Mold can grow on wooden frames, especially on balconies where it is damp. Before washing, remove it with a special store solution or bleach. At the same time, we clean the frames and glass from insects, cobwebs, dust.
What is needed
The cleaning process will be faster and easier if you take care of the tools in advance. There is a basic set without which wet cleaning do not hold.
- Water tank. Plastic will do bucket or basin. It is not necessary to completely fill them with water, as it will spill.
- Sponge. It is good to wash windows without streaks if one of its sides has a hard base. This surface is effective in removing heavily soiled areas, especially dried stains.
- Detergents . We take both store and folk remedies.
- A clean rag. A non-woven, cotton fabric works best. Alternatively, we use natural suede or velvet. The main thing is that the material has high water-absorbing properties. Instead of a rag, special microfiber napkins are suitable.
- Wiper... Stores presented wide choose such devices, differing in cost, material of manufacture, functions. If the windows are tall or you are working on higher floors, then it is better to choose a model where the handle is extended. There are products with a sponge on one side and a screed on the other.
- Scraper. It should be used only in extreme cases and very carefully so as not to spoil the coating. Suitable for removing heavily soiled areas.
Concerning additional tools, then this category includes various equipment that may be in the house.
- Steam generator. It not only cleans from dirt, but also disinfects the surface, helps to maintain a favorable microclimate in the room. Universal equipment can be completed with attachments for processing hard-to-reach places.
- Washing vacuum cleaner . Used in outdoor and internal works... It functions in such a way that dirty streams do not fall on the windowsill, floor.
- Magnetic brush. It is easy to use. The glass is treated with a solution of soap. The brush is fixed in one of the corners of the structure, then it must be moved evenly to another corner. After removing it, wipe the glass with a dry cloth.
Let's not forget about security measures. Before we wash the windows without streaks, we select suitable clothes that we don't mind ruining. Be sure to wear gloves to avoid negative impact cleaning products.

- Frames come first... Remove dust with a dry cloth. We do not use abrasive products, as they damage the primer, paintwork. Wooden frames, in addition to the above folk and store funds, can be processed with cold tea leaves. After winter, you can find insects in them, so we use special products from living creatures.
- First glass cleaning... We remove the dust. At this stage, detergents are applied. We choose a suitable direction - from top to bottom or horizontally. In the presence of strong contamination, we pre-soak them with the selected agent, gently wipe with the hard side of the sponge. Scotch tape or glue may remain on the glass. We remove them with our hands, prying them with a fingernail or a pointed object, without scratching the surface. Flies do well with raw onions. We clean the corners and joints well, as dust accumulates in them most of all.
- Second glass cleaning... This step involves rinsing and removing residual products with dry cloths. We use cold or warm water. Basically, abundant rinsing is required. With some methods, it is not necessary, since it is enough to wipe the surface dry.
During the cleaning process, you can simultaneously lubricate the metal fittings with machine oil or special means... To maintain the elasticity of the sealing gum, we use silicone grease.
We work at height
On the ground floors, wet cleaning is not difficult. The stage of work is the same as when washing inside... But what should those housewives who live on high floors do? The main thing is to choose the right tools and observe safety precautions.
Suitable tools
In addition to the main devices that were listed above, you will need here special tools... One of the main elements is a screed or mop with long handle... They can be cleaned with high quality blind window outside. Which mop to choose? It could be wooden product, on which we hang a rag. A metal mop designed for cleaning floors will not work as it will leave streaks.
There is a wide variety of ties on the market, from which you can choose a model with different attachments, handle lengths. A product where the last parameter is adjusted is best suited. Sponge and fiber nozzle - for removing simple dirt. If there is a rubber water pump (scraper), then we remove dried spots with it, for example, drops of cement. After water treatments the surfaces are wiped off with a dry cloth.
You can remove stubborn dirt, including dried pieces of plaster, waste products of birds with ordinary soapy water. We simply apply it before using other detergents or stick to a high concentration of soap.
Security measures
Cleaning is often done in the spring. In this case, you should wait until all the snow has melted and the frost stops. We choose strong and reliable, stable stairs, tables or chairs. When cleaning the upper floors, we do not stand on the edge of the window sill, do not protrude with our body out.
If there is no practice of cleaning at height, necessary toolsthen it is better to use the help of professionals. Choosing a cleaning company and ordering a service.
Good housewives try to clean windows quickly and on time without streaks. The right time for the first in each new year "generalka" - Maundy Thursday before Easter. It is interesting that our ancestors paid special attention to washing windows, believing that clean "eyes" of the home are the guarantee of the family's well-being. According to signs, when processing glasses, you need to put coins in the water to increase the well-being of the family.
