Most of the marks on the windows are left by paper towels or rags that were used to wash them. Therefore, it is better to use microfibre cloths to clean your home. They are also great for cleaning windows from dirt and dust.

After soaking in water, microfibre cloths can effectively remove dirt from windows. What should I do next to get rid of dried watermarks?

Rinse the windows immediately after cleaning. You can use another microfibre cloth to dry them.

There is another trick you can use to make your home windows shine. You only need one product that is available in most supermarkets. It is a paper coffee filter.

How to wash heavily soiled windows

Here are some steps you can take to wash dirty windows:

Step 1. Clean a window with a dry and dust-free microfibre cloth.

Step 2. If step 1 does not work for you, you will need to use a cleaning solution. We recommend a dishwashing solution.

Step 3. Apply the solution to a small area, starting at the bottom of the window and moving upwards to avoid dripping. Be sure to work quickly, but clean thoroughly and with enough force to leave no residue. It will be better to use special window cleaning equipment, such as a mop.

Step 4. Wipe the edges of the window from top to bottom with a new or clean dust-free cloth.

Remember that moisture accumulation, poor ventilation, infiltration problems and other factors lead to the formation of mould on the walls. Mould must be eliminated to avoid health problems.
