BERKELEY, California: Los Angeles-based Fisker Inc plans to supply the first pure electric vehicle for Pope Francis next year, it said on Friday, with features such as a solar roof and carpets made of recycled plastic bottles from the ocean. Among the bottles in the cleaner aisle, you’ll find glass cleaners promising streak-free results — but what they don’t tell you is that those results often come with a catch: a lot of elbow grease. Don’t reach for that handy roll of paper towels to dry your newly-cleaned window glass. Wipe the window frame with a clean, dry cloth to catch any droplets or soapy residue that may be lingering. For best results, clean with new blades; buy replacement rubber blades when yours becomes worn around its edges, cracks or no longer seems to do a very good job cleaning — and wipe up any drips as they may happen. Before breaking out the cleaning solution, break out the vacuum — if you have an apartment-friendly, space-saving handheld vac or a dusting-brush attachment, now’s the time to put it into action. After applying a cleaning solution, blot up all the moisture.
If you have a gas stove like me, cleaning the top means copious amounts of scrubbing and vowing I’ll be better about getting up spills immediately. Put heavy boxes in the center of the truck, with lighter ones on top of them. Sponge (the method of using a dampened pad to apply light strokes, moving outward from the center of the stain) the area with a dry-cleaning solvent such as Afta Cleaning Fluid. It’s important to keep window cleaning solution away from woodwork as it can damage the finish, and is best avoided with a wipe-as-you clean style (a few strategically-placed towels laid out before you begin can make a big difference in your fight against drips). While vacuuming won’t help clean up water stains, mineral deposits, and dirt from the glass, doing so will help keep dust and debris that’s built up around the window frame from streaking (or worse, scratching) the window glass as you clean. While you might think you need a bright, sunny day to see the most streaks and grime that have built up on your windows, when you clean glass in the sunshine you’re actually creating more streaks — and that’s the opposite of your desired end result.
Use a cotton swab that’s been moistened with a little white vinegar to clean any grime hiding out in corners. Begin with a scrubber such as a soft sponge, natural sea sponge or a cloth-covered head on a squeegee, a bucket of warm clean water (your “dirty” bucket), and a bucket of warm water with just a few drops of liquid dish soap in it (if your blade squeaks like an old wiper blade on a dirty car windshield, you need a little more soap in your mix). It always begins in auto mode, which optimizes the cleaning process as it putters around your home, but you can use the remote to select specific modes like spot and edge clean. Using a squeegee for cleaning the inside of your windows means tidying up your technique to avoid puddles and drips from accumulating on your sills and floors as you clean.
Cleaning the windows on a sunny day is counterproductive — the heat of the sunlight contributes to streaking. It’s true. Sparkling, streak-free windows are on most people’s lists of top five surfaces that make us happy when we know they’re clean — in fact, clean windows are ranked fifth among those surveyed about cleaning satisfaction, behind floors, toilets, countertops and showers (mirrors, though, fall near the bottom of the list — we don’t really mind if those get a bit dusty). So sit back, make sure that your windows are closed and that your antenna is down. Entertainment and spectacle are woven into every project in the form of rides, attractions and extravaganzas. There are potential health implications for your family, and a mold outbreak can take a financial toll, too. Your body isn’t the only thing that can suffer from stain-resistant carpeting. The same thing can happen with wool carpet stretching minneapolis. A bucket of warm, clean water is the first thing you need — you’ll use it to dunk and rinse your sponge.
