Because home windows can appear dirtier in direct daylight, Consumer Reports recommends first-rate methods to ease your home windows and hold them spotless for longer this summertime.

Instead of starting by cleaning the glass, the mag stated wiping and vacuuming the window frame need to be your first step.

Once you have wiped clean the frame, you’re free to smooth the glass. However, the magazine recommends cleaning home windows on days when there are more clouds than the sun.

Haniya Rae, a domestic editor for Consumer Reports, stated that the best time to smooth the window glass is on an overcast day because the heat on a sunny day can cause the window cleaner to dry too fast and doubtlessly leave streaks on the window.

Some items to avoid while cleaning your windows are ammonia-based cleaners because they can leave streaks.

The magazine also shows how to avoid drying the recently cleaned home windows with paper towels because they could go away lint on the glass. Consumer Reports said the high-quality item to apply is a squeegee, and you should wipe any excess liquid off with a lint-unfastened towel to dry your windows.
