Windows are the only means through which you can have natural daylight enter your home. As such, they’re an instrumental feature that needs to be planned for since the earliest stages of the home’s construction. Just having the right amount of windows installed into your home isn’t enough, however. Due to the presence of smog and various other substances, as well as the usual wear and tear that all things undergo, windows will get dirty, spoiling your view and limiting the amount of sunlight that comes into your home.
Installing your windows is one thing, but ensuring that they are always sparkling clean is another thing altogether. Whether you’re dealing with regular windows or skylights, there are some important steps you can take to make sure that your windows stay immaculate for as long as possible. Here are some of them.

Now, whether you’re cleaning the interior or exterior of your window, make sure to dust the window first to remove any dry dirt, and then use sponges with hot soapy water to remove the rest of the dirt. Dry off with a lint cloth to make sure you leave no stains.
