Helpful Tip Friday

Cleaning Exterior Windows

 Ah!  Spring is in the air!  Mostly, anyways.  Sure, some places in the country are still slogging around in snow boots but a gentler, fresher breeze is coming in.  Its time to start spring cleaning, where we get rid of all the grime of winter and let the sun shine in!  Here some tips to help you brighten up!

 1. Scrub
     Scrub windows with a bucket of warm water that has just a squirt of liquid dish soap.  Use a strip applicator or a natural sponge to scrub and loosen dirt without scratching the glass.  A strip applicator is best for picture windows and the sponge is best suited for multi pane windows.

2. Squeegee
     For picture windows, start with squeegee at the top and pull down in an S pattern.  For multi pane windows you'll need to cut down your squeegee, or find a small one that fits, to approximately 1/4" shorter than the width of an individual pane.  Pull straight down from top to bottom.  No matter which type of window, wipe the squeegee after every swipe, to prevent streaking.

3. Dry
     Use a chamois to remove any remaining water from edges.

4. Stubborn Stains
     Hard water or mineral stines leave their mark on your glass.  For the stubborn ones, try wetter the glass and gently scrubbing with No. 000 steel wool.  Another option is a window cleansing powder with oxalic acid.

Tips for Cleaning Hardwood Floors

Hardwood floors are beautiful and each one is unique.  However, while they're strong and durable, they do have some enemies:  scratches and water.  Here are some tips to keep your lovely hardwood floors clean and damage free.

1. Watch Your Finish
Always clean depending on your hardwood flooring's finish.  Some have a glossier, surface seal, or hard seal, from being finished with more modern methods of polyurethane, urethane, or a polyacrylic.  Others are finished with a softer, more traditional means of shellac, lacquer, or varnish.

2. General Cleaning
Keep your floors cleared daily, or dirt and debris that may cause scratches, by sweeping with a soft bristled broom.  For extra, weekly, cleaning, vacuum floor with a soft, floor brush attachment.

3. Deeper Cleaning
Every 6 months or so, try a wood cleaning product, following labeled instructions.  Rinse, if required, with a just damp sponge or mop.  Dry excess liquid to avoid standing water.

4. Stains on a Soft Finish
Tips from Better Homes and Garden
If your floors are finished with a soft finish, here are some additional tips for stains.  (If you have a hard finish, just clean and wipe with a damp cloth and dry).  Be prepared though, to stain, wax, and buff treated area to match the rest of the floor.

Dark Spots and Pet Stains:  Rub the spot with No. 000 steel wool and floor wax.
Heel Marks: Use fine steel wool to run in floor wax.
Oil Based Stains:  Rub the area with a soft cloth and dishwashing detergent to break down th
                            grease.  Rinse with clean water.
Water Marks or White Stains:  Rub the spot with No. 000 steel wool and floor wax.
