What's the best way to clean window 🪟 vinyl?
how do I get rid of a dull layer on my mirror- it's clean but really dull
🙋🏻♀️
I heard or read that it's not good to wash microfiber with laundry washing power because the conditioner will damage the microfiber. I now day use dishwashing liquid & every now & then small flake of dishwasher tablet. Is it true about most laundry washing powder or gel contains conditioner?
@@shahidamoola6154 if you have hard water i your area, try shower spray.... Regularly the hard water calcium carbonate will eventually wash off! & use filtered rain water or condensed water collected from dryer as soft water for cleaning water on microfiber
As a window cleaner this is how I clean leaded windows. Customers always ask me how I get no streaks and are always amazed I just use plain water too clean with. You'll always get streaks with any cleaning product so save yourself money and save the environment by listening to this lady.
Hey Thanks, Paul for the feedback. It's great to have you here. 😍
So glad to “hear” you say this. So many people are obsessed with making their own glass cleaner, when plain water is generally the best, especially on mirrors.
That is untrue in regards to getting streaks with cleaning products. Fact, glass actually has pours and when you don't get all the grease, grime, dust and dirt out of those pours, that is what creates the streaking you see. If you use a wet microfiber cloth with a few drop's of blue dawn to clean the glass/mirror and then dry it with a microfiber drying towel you've removed all of the gunk from those pours and liklihood of having streaks no matter what you put on it other than oil or furniture polish. If you want a "transparent clean" use a foaming glass cleaner, misting it very lightly and use a microfiber cloth made specifically for glass and spread to evaporation in the "S" pattern from top to bottom.
I am a retired owner of a window cleaning business (20 years experience). 90% of my customers were homeowners so I've cleaned a lot of mirrors. Frankly I always used an 18" squeegee to wipe off the water as it is much faster and leaves the mirror super clean. However, I did use her method to clean leaded glass and I think I will try it to clean the inside of my trucks windows.
Thanks so much for watching the video and leaving a comment. 👍
You are not only very knowledgeable, but an excellent teacher. Thank you for sharing.
So nice of you. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to drop me a line. 👍
You.. my dear.. are a marvelous teacher! Thank you from a 70 yr old grandma!❤️
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words!😊💕
My house cleaner retired so house cleaning is back to me. I found this program about cleaning mirrors (something I have never had success doing) and couldn't believe you could clean mirrors without chemicals. So this morning I got two microfiber cloths and followed your directions. I was amazed that it works!! I also watched the program about cleaning showers and decided to work on the glass doors. I am ashamed to say they were awful. I found a scrubber pad to us and used windex to use up my supply. Again I followed your directions right down to drying the glass. OMG!! The doors are beautiful. I keep going back and looking at the bathroom because it looks so great. And, a bonus is that I worked smarter rather than harder. Thanks so much for your advise to a little old lady.
Go Pam! I’m so glad you worked smart not hard and cleaned your mirrors and shower glass doors. You are amazing : )
Thank you for this video! I really appreciate your mindfulness for the environment and discouraging excess paper towels usage!
You are so welcome! Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching. 🙂
Very informative info. Thanks fur sharing.
At first I thought, "How odd, a wedding cloth?" 😍😆😂 As I listened I realized "Ohhhh, weTTing cloth!"
😂😂😂 Yes, a wedding cloth would be a curious thing. Don't even want to go there. LOL.
Exactly my thought 😂
Haha I heard the same thing , I even went back to hear it again
Hahaha same
That's funny!
Angela I own my cleaning biz! 10 years and very successful! This channel is amazing and actually the right way to clean!
Awesome! Thank you so much for your feedback and for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗
Yes definitely 💯
You should have your own merch, cuz I'd rather buy these cleaning products from you than from Amazon. I love your videos, they have changed my life for the best. I began with your 'depression' video when I couldn't get out of my own way. Now I am walking everyday and getting far more accomplished than I had believed possible. I am so very grateful to you!
Liz, You are so kind to leave such a nice comment. Thanks so much for watching the video. 😊
I am new to this channel. Could you give the background on the video you refer to? Thank you.
@@hannahrose5739 one month later ... search for her list of vid
These videos are great. I am a student in the UK & learning how to clean different things in the house is really helping me. Thanks!
You are so welcome! It makes me happy to know that the video was helpful. Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching. 🙂
I love how you’re so thorough! I always wondered why a few of my microfiber cloths were “different” than my other ones…turns out they’re for drying. I need to pay better attention lol thanks so much!
Yes, they have different piles for different purposes. Microfiber is pretty amazing stuff though for what it does and how long it lasts.
I been following 2 weeks and I can say you give simple instructions, explain the products and what in them the do and do not use on certain material. Very detail without your video.This is the best I seen. Thank you for your help and support.
Awesome, thank you! Glad you like them. And thanks for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗
Always so informative! Been smashing through so many of your videos and learning so much! Thanks Angela!
Happy to help!😊
I would like to offer up my cleaning process for glass (used for the last 50 years) for alternative consideration. Like the presenter I just use water - but I use a plain Terry face cloth for washing and another for drying off. The key is TO NOT USE Fabric softener when washing the cleaning cloth - then just hang dry.
Thanks so much for sharing this cleaning tip : )
@@AskAngelaBrown You are welcome x
I loved that you explained why papertowels aren't great for the environment and you advise to use alternatives 😊😊😊
Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching. 🙂
Ok I’m off to really clean my mirrors now, your explanation makes perfect sense & I was cleaning around in circles not any more, thank you 🙂
Glad it helped!
Dear Angela, Thank you for your cheerful, expert advice. Well done. 🏠 Julie
Thanks Julie for watching and taking the time to respond. :-)
I use a squeegee and micro cloth for my windows inside. The outside I use rain-x, squeegee, and a micro cloth to clean up the left over drips. I also use rain-x on my shower door on the inside. Makes it easier to squeegee every day after a shower. No streaks or water stains.
Great tips. Thanks for sharing. :-)
Yes. A squeegee is the best way.
Wait... you clean the shower.... every day?!?!?!
So glad you put this out.....just starting to collect supplies for a new business. Have never been a fan or microfiber on mirrors and glass......now I know why. Thanks! Now I'll buy the right type and use them the right way.
If you buy the wrong kind - it will smear the water around and make you really mad. LOL. I made that mistake a few times myself. ;-)
Hey Angela, we’re window twins! We also have 55 windows. High 5!!! I was ready to give you my secret weapon for cleaning them, but you already knew it so I’ll just contribute to your algorithm instead. 😂 Discovered it during the paper towel shortage last year, but I’ve never heard of drying cloths. If anybody else said you only needed water to clean windows I’d have unsubscribed, but you’ve never steered me wrong so I’m gonna give it a go. ☺️ Those microfiber cloths are great for cleaning so many things! Kitchen appliances and countertops are so much easier to clean with those cloths too. Hope you have a great weekend!
Hey Audrey, High five for being my twin! I should clarify - cleaning glass, mirrors and windows is an inside job. You will need soap suds and a pressure washer if you're cleaning 55 windows and on the outside of your home. I didn't make that very clear. I'm sorry about that. Do you know how many cloths that would take if you just used damp cloths on outside windows? 😱😂😜
I’m going stitch all the wedding cloths together to make a wedding dress, I’ll look like a patchwork doll 😂
So this method won't work on the outside of the windows? Why not? @@AskAngelaBrown
You are my favorite cleaning lady in the whole wide world 💐 thank you 🤗
Wow, thank you! I'm blushing. :-)
I was getting tired of the amount of paper towels I was using from both a landfill and financial standpoint. What a waste. Literally. So about 8 months ago I quit buying paper towels. I invested in microfiber towels and different e-clothes. I now use them exclusively for absolutely all my cleaning. With most of my cleaning now being done with just plain water, instead of chemicals. Considering how many paper towels I was going through, as well as various chemicals, both the microfiber towels and e-clothes have proven to be a good investment.
Hooray! It's true, once your place is clean, you can maintain it with water and washable cloths. Who knew right?
Thank Angela as I am a home owner and want to clean well and fast I always check with your videos. the way to do the best job and last but not least eco friendly. Thank you again Angela,
You're welcome! And thank you for watching the video. 🙂
I'm so glad to hear you promote just plain water. I use just water for nearly everything, very few cleaning products. Only really stubborn or greasy stuff needs product or anything that needs sanitation. Large appliance surfaces generally only need water. Do you have a video on cleaning outside, really dirty windows and those unreachable from the ground? (You must live in a mansion with over 50 windows - nice!)
We typically don't encourage house cleaners to do windows for the fact that most don't travel in vehicles with a truck mount, ladders or have a vehicle that will carry 2 story extension wands and pressure washers. Instead we refer our window washing friends to our cleaning contacts, and they refer house cleaning to us. (No, I haven't done a video on it but one would be fun to watch.)
Virginia once I got my steam cleaner I couldnt believe how clean everything was from just water
Your video had very good info. I would like to comment on your choice of wiping materials ie coffee filters, newspapers, paper towels etc. As I understand, your reluctance in using newspaper was due to the fact that they are more scarce now than in the past. If you have a source, that would not be an issue. I've used newspapers for window cleaning for many years and I've experienced no better wiping material. Just be sure to use the actual newspaper itself and not any glossy inserts. Newsprint ink actually has a small amount of abrasive added to it helping to polish glass.
Thanks for watching the show : )
Expert advice - worked like a charm today on balcony door and windows this am. Full sun coming in right now and absolutely NO STREAKS. Thank you! ❤️
Awesomesauce. Thanks for keeping me posted. I love hearing stories like this. :-)
I have just spent two hours cleaning the inside of my conservatory. I use the microfiber and washing up liquid but then finish with my karcher window vac. I love this and my windows are looking nice and sparkly.
Great tip! I'll bet your conservatory is beautiful at this time of year - especially with clean glass. :-)
Thank you love bug! Worked great! My mirrors finally look good and I've always struggled to get them to look really clean and streak free! Appreciate you❤️
Yay! I'm so happy to hear this, thanks for checking in. :-)
Oh her again! Good info! I love my microfiber cloths. My husband hated them, but when cleaning the bottom of our boat he finally used one and it was the only way he took the goop off- hates them no more!
Hahaha...that is awesome! You converted him!
Thank you so much for your handy tips! I started using surgeons’ cloths for my dishes, cleaning, drying, everything in between. They are a God send and no lint whatsoever in anything I use them on. I am going to use your method to clean mirrors and windows while using my surgeons’ cloths.
Awesome. Thanks for the updates. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know. :-)
What are surgeon's cloths?
Dear Angela. Please make a video on how we can clean the grout inside our homes. Btw you are doing an amazing job by making these videos. More power to you. Cheers
Thank you so much for your feedback and suggestion, I appreciate! I will add it to my queue.
Thank you- I LOVE how you explain about the paper towels and the environment! I wish more people would understand that!
Thank you for the feedback!❤
ive had a window cleaning biz since 1985 in Honolulu. best way I tell my customers. used dish soap water ,get a small rag ring out excess water wipe window ,let window dry and get a beach town wipe window and you wont have any streaks her way is a long slow process.
Your way works as well. Thanks for sharing. The reason we use this method is as professional house cleaners we do not carry dish soap water or beach towels with us. We don't clean windows so we don't carry squeegees and buckets of water. The tools we have available to us to clean an occasional item of class or a mirror are these cloths and this is the process for 99% of the cleaning we will do with glass and mirrors.
I worked my way through college as a professional cleaner we used this method and it worked great. Another tip is to start at the top and wipe horizontally from side to side working your way downward. This ensures that you're moving the dirt away from the area you just cleaned-this goes for walls and cars as well.
Yep, that's what Angela said. She even showed it in the video.
Thanks for sharing!
I have a store with some mirrors and this is exactly what i needed. Thanks ❤️
You’re welcome 😊 Glad I could help.
I just discovered your channel. I can't believe how much I've learned from your channel. Outstanding information.
So glad that you are enjoying the videos and the information! Welcome to the channel, we are happy that you have found us!😊
Haha :) i so LOVE your description of paper towels!! Ive always said that “paper towels are my nemesis” and have to buy them bc i’m an adult, but i always think of cloth towels primarily. Thanks for the microfiber talk!
Hahaha...that's great! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the great information but mostly for caring so much about the enviroment. That's wonderful. You are a great woman.
Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback, I apprecaite it!
I had a mirror that had gotten some kind of oily residue on it. I tried to clean it with everything I could find, window cleaners, vinegar, microfiber towel, even a rubber squeegee, you name it, nothing would remove all the oil and it left the mirror with a sort of smeary haze on it. I finally tried cleaning it with a steam cleaner and BOOM! it worked instantly. Took me maybe 2 minutes total. So, when nothing else will do it, try steam, it is amazing!
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
It does help! Thank you, Angela!
You're so welcome! Glad it was helpful. 😊
heck yea that was helpful! Thanks Angela!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for your feedback and thanks for watching. 🙂
Always have the best cleaning hacks, thank YOU!
Thank you so much! Glad you like them!
@@AskAngelaBrown Used the micro cloths today to clean our 41 windows...my husband and I...it took a 1/4 of the time that using newspapers always took us to complete the job, and much better results. My husband was very impressed. TY...I love your video's.
Thank you for your eco-friendly approach
You bet! Thanks for watching!
There are two things in this world that give me the shivers when I touch them; one is a cotton ball and the other is a microfiber cloth. LOL
LOL. If that is the worst of your problems Kathleen, I suspect you'll be okay. Thanks for the levity. :-)
I do not like the feel of microfibre cloths either Kathleen but I put on nice hand cream and my cotton gloves. I then put my washing up gloves on and clean away! You have the bonus of soft well cared for hands as well. God bless.
@@veemcg3682 how very kind of you to share this great idea, thank you!
Yes, microfiber towels feel awful in my hand, like putting my hands in very dry soil. But, I might have to get over it. The drying cloths aren't so bad, maybe.
I don't like how microfiber cloths feel, either. For my liking.... don't absorb.
Oh my gosh---sometimes it's the simplest things that "elude" me and your 8 sides to a cloth was one of those. For forty-some years of cleaning my home, I've gone through TONS of cloths cleaning windows, etc.. Geez, now I'm embarrassed I was this .........silly. But, grateful I watched this. You really have great methods and the more I watch, the more I learn. I'm only a housewife, but gosh, this is helpful . Thank you.
Yay! Thanks for watching and for joining the conversation. It's great to have you here. 👍
Thanks Angela, very informative video and simple technique that I will try out now on all my mirrors and windows. You just saved me spending on detergents etc. also saved me time watching other KZhead videos on this subject 👌🏼 I would love to live in your house I bet it’s well clean 😁
+MJ Patrick thanks so much for your kind words. You just made my day. My house is clean only because I clean it on camera. Ha ha. 🥳🎉😜
Remember the hairdresses hair never looks nice & the mecanic's car is always faulty.😅
Thank you, Angela.
You're welcome and thanks for watching. 🙂
For the bathroom, could I save time on wetting the mirror by cleaning it right after the shower when its foggy, and just use the drying cloth?
YES! Now you're thinking. The same rules apply to cleaning the shower. When it's steamy and everything is lose - that's when you want to squeegee the walls and glass down. BAM! You're clean, your bathroom is clean - it's a great morning routine. Thanks for bringing this up. 👍
Angela, I love the links, (good Karma, we appreciate you so much), however there was no link for the very thin microfiber drying towel!
I’m about to blow your mind, Angela!!!! I think it’s time for you to get on TV!!! Americas needs your help, get in touch with a producer and pitch it. We would love to see you with your own show. Thank you so much for sharing☺️
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗 From your mouth to God's ear...fingers crossed!!
My previous landlady works as a house cleaner and she swears by those Norwex silver-infused microfiber cloths as the wetting cloth, and the Norwex glass cloth to dry/polish glass and mirrors. I bought 2 pairs and used them to clean greasy hand prints from glass doors on a window cleaning job I was doing. Gotta say I'm impressed by this method. I even use them on car windows if I'm detailing. Sadly, the Norwex are pretty expensive, but I searched online and found cheaper alternatives to the silver-infused cloth....sweet!
The technology really works. Lots of professional cleaners swear by it. Thanks for sharing. :-)
Thank you, very helpful x
Thanks for watching and taking the time to drop me a line. :-)
Dear Angela I just found your channel today and I just love it 😍
Thank you so much for reaching out to let me know you like my channel. 😊
Thank you Angela for your great info. Happy New Year.
Thanks for watching and for spending a few minutes of your day here with me. It's great to have you here. Cheers and Happy New Year!
Great tip on the drying cloth, I’ve never see n them. My favorite product to use on glass and windows is dishwasher detergent, unlike window cleaners I never have streaks!
??? How do you use it? Do you dilute it in a spray bottle? And what do you use to dry the glass with? I'm curious now. ;-)
Angela Brown A good friend has a building maintenance (Windows) business and gave me the tip. I wish I had exact measurements but I don’t, it’s a couple of smaller globs of dishwasher detergent ( doesn’t take much at all) to a gallon of water. Since there are no suds, there are no streaks. I have a black glass gas stove and it drove me insane till she gave me this tip. Now I use it on windows, mirrors, anything that would show streaks, cuts grease and grime like nothing else.
Angela Brown Forgot to say I use a clean cleaning cloth, usually one of my husbands old soft tshirts, I don’t use any softeners or dryer sheets for my cleaning cloths.
I used a glass cleaner that claimed it would not leave streaks, but it left terrible streaks.
Right On Time! My glass is...speechless. neglected. Every video I can't help but imagine just how much cleaning you've gotten done since the last video? This week is all about getting some sparkle back at my house starting Tuesday. I'm disappointed microfiber is recycled plastic? Who knew?
The earth only has so many resources. I love the fact they are using recycled materials. There are a few outlets who are recycling microfiber cloths as stuffing for furniture. Creativity at it's finest. :-)
I really loved all of your videos you're an Excellent Teacher. I am learning alot watching your KZhead channels.
I'm so happy to hear that! Thanks for watching!😊
This is amazing thank you so so much for the advice ❤

Wow! and I just bought a new bottle of window cleaner last week. I'm going to try your method. I'm just working to improve my own housecleaning skills. I have a lot to learn.
Sounds great, you got this!
What great advice!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to drop me a line. :-)
Thank you for explaining WHY to wet and dry in a Z pattern. Makes sense, so I'll remember. Now that I'm 54. Like decades too late!
It's never too late! You got this Michelle! We all learn something new each day.

Hi Angela . I have a cleaning business and love my job. I too use the glass cleaning cloths and nothing else. I only use peer towel for the toilets.
I'm so glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Awesome advice Angela ! 👍👍👍😘

I just found your channel few mins ago and i subscribe right away. Thank you so much for the tips about cleaning. I appreciate you so much.
+@kimeya483 hooray, a new subscriber. Thank you so much. I appreciate you. 👍
@@AskAngelaBrown Yes I am a new subscriber 🥰. Nice to meet you Angela.
Thank you Angela! I’ve started doing this since working with Norwex. E-cloth is similar. Nothing cleans my glass on my car or in my home better. You always are so knowledgeable and helpful. I know you’ve done a lot of videos but have you done one about properly cleaning wood furniture? I watch a lot of cleaning videos and seem to keep seeing lots of furniture that is damaged and likely to being cleaned improperly. I was always taught not to use liquid cleaning products. I use Pledge or dry dust only. What is your advice about wood care?
I'm not a fan of most "polishes." Furniture has it's own shine and sheen. A damp microfiber cloth may be all you need. Unless you have a piece of antique furniture - and the wood, finishes, varnishes and lacquers used then are different than today's pre-engineered wood furniture products. On a job we ask our homeowners what they prefer - some are Pledge users, others Old English, etc. We do have a shelf of custom products for specific customers used only at their place.
Angela Brown thank you so much Angela. Are these products that your company actually makes? Am I understanding you clearly? If so, are they available to the public? I use a damp microfiber for very dusty areas and then buff dry afterwards. Thank you again for your advice.
I had a business owner tell me she mixes a drop of Murphy’s oil and a drop of Dawn soap in a bucket for furniture. What do you think about that, Angela?
Good Vibe Cleaning LLC Oklahoma I’m in OK too! Small world. Murphy Oil Soap is good stuff. I’m not Angela clearly but I just got excited when I saw you’re from OK! 😀😀
Really good. Thank you. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Thanks for watching!
Be sure to wash the micro fiber towels correctly, heat is there enemy. Wash them separately from other clothes, use a good free and clear detergent, use warm water, air or tumble dry (no heat)! Also if the micros are very dirty your can add like a 1/4 cup of vinegar (in either the bleach/or softener slot) and be sure to do, if you can an extra rinse. Never use regular detergent, fabric softener to micros and again warmish ..stay away from heat. This is coming form an ex auto detailer ..care for your tools....and the enviro around us.
This is great! Thank you for sharing your tips!
When you say no heat, but warm, what does that mean exactly? When you say no regular detergent but free detergent, what does that mean? Thank you very much.
@@TheCelestialhealer I Googled the question about the detergent. "All Free Clear is a liquid laundry detergent that is free of fragrance, dyes, and harsh chemicals."
Thank you, Angela! 🤓
You're welcome Joseph! Thanks for watching!
@Angela Brown Cleaning. Such a wonderful channel Angela. May God bless you abundantly.❤️🙏~Dana.
Thank you so much! I wish the same for you. 🙏❤
I like the idea of the cloths but I have found when doing exterior windows or extremely dusty or dirty glass you need a rag that’s used to get the heavy dirt off. That rag gets quite dirty fast so I carry a bucket of water to rinse it in and reuse. Or a cloth squeegee can be used. Then I can use the wetting rag method. Otherwise my wetting rag becomes caked with dirt too fast. With that said I’m talking about washing pretty dirty windows. Not mirrors!!
You're correct, exterior window washing requires a different set of tools for a different type of soil being cleaned. Thanks for the tip. :-)
Use a scrim cloth get them off internet make sure it's been boiled treated
THANK You again for sharing an amazing video! Gotta game changer for y'all- ooo steel wool for glass! Spray cleaner, light circles with 000 - you have to be so careful with temperd glass, like avoid razors- steel wool cut my time in half, just light circles- make sure area is wet-use drying towel - fantastic for shower doors- watch videos on it to see WOW!!
Thanks for sharing! 👍
excellent tutorial
Glad you think so! Thank you so much for your feedback and thanks for watching. 🙂

Bon-ami is my favorite glass cleaner , plus it's a pretty good all around cleaner , but it's spot on for glass.
Good to know, thanks for sharing!
Print ink bleeds when wet. I made that mistake once. I use windex, a squeegee, and a chaser cloth to get the lines polished out and it works great.
Good to know. Thanks for sharing. 👍
55 windows?! There's only 12 windows in my house, 13 if count sliding doors! Hehe Great video as always! Thank you.
She must mean each glass. Two pieces of glass in a window, for example . I have 14, and most of those 14 are two pieces of glass next to each other.
Yes, 55 windows! Imagine cleaning all of them! One of the girls on my staff counted her windows and she has 50 windows, not including the glass doors. 😮 So I'm not the only one with lots of windows. Thanks for watching. 😊
Not counting each glass, but I would rather clean 14 instead of 55.
@@AskAngelaBrown That's just insane! My client with the most windows tops up at 24/25 windows. Luckily, their windows keep clean!
Good to know! Gonna try your method! I’ve been using cloth baby diapers at a friend’s suggestion. By the way, you don’t put fabric softener in your microfiber cloths when you wash them, do you? I have heard NOT to do this.....
Oh yes! No fabric softener when washing. Thanks for watching the video.
So clever 👏 thanks so much 👍 God bless
Thank you for the kind words. God bless you as well. 🙏
My grandma use to use vinegar and newspaper....used egg white as glue to piece together broken cups etc....she had so many clever ideas...lol.
LOL. It sounds like you had a very resourceful grandma. 💛
I use rags( my rags are old dish towels or hand towels that have been washed so many times that there isnt any lint). I buy the really thin face cloths that come in a ten pack in different colors for different jobs. I use a face cloth to wash and the hand towel to dry the glass.
Great tip...thanks for sharing!!
In Scotland we still have many news papers .but I will follow your instructions from now ..

You're welcome! Let us know how it goes! 😀
Ohhhhh! The WETTING cloth! I kept hearing “wedding” cloth! 😂 (I assumed with “wedding” cloth it was like, the first cloth you used or something.... lol no idea 😂)
LOL. ;-)
RD Angie aka angelang83 😀you are so funny
My daughter in law introduced me on krud Kutter and I love it. I watched it pull out the cigarette smoke. But my ? Is what cloth should I use to clean my bathroom ceiling with I'm getting streaks?
If you are removing nicotine from ceilings you may want to use terry cloths with the Krud Kutter. The Terry Cloths will wash out better in the washing machine than microfiber for this purpose. And you may have to do a couple of passes to remove streaking. Removing tar from ceilings and walls is a time consuming project to do it right.
Thank you for this great video. I haven’t been able to find the window drying cloth. I’d be grateful if you could give us the link for that. Thanks!
Here are the sources we use: savvycleaner.com/resources/sponges-and-cloths/
You can order them from Amazon also. They are green (wash) and blue (dry). A little pricey but well worth it. I use them and hot water, no streaks! Only thing I use glass cleaner for is to shine stuff like tubs, toilets, etc. , after I'm done cleaning them.
@@rondalee7704 i’m doing a window cleaning for a client in about a week and have been using squeegees and what not to clean them. I notice i don’t get the perfect wash using squeegees do you think this technique of just a wet micro fiber and a dry microfiber would work better? would love feedback
@@arcenio429 yes i do. Make sure you wash your clothes separately and i only use like oxyclean for soap. Reduces smearing from cloth. Also i only use hot water. For me that works the best. I don't have alot of luck with a squeegee. I use a squeegee to remove pet hair from furniture and to get excess water off shower walls. Hope this is helpful. Try it on your windows at home first, before client's job. This way you have an idea if this will work for you. Good luck!
