Instruction manual
1
Non-very dirty windows can be easily washed by dissolving a little starch in the water (approximately 1 tablespoon per liter of warm water).
Starch is also added to the water when washing windows and mirrors so that the glass is perfect, sparkles and is completely eliminated from the remnants of detergents. To "bring shine", the window must be wiped dry with a clean rag, towel, old crumpled newspapers or paper napkins.
2
One of the reliable means of washing windows and mirrors is tooth powder or chalk ground into flour. 3 tablespoons of powder or crushed chalk should be poured with a glass of warm water, mix well, shake, moisten a cloth or sponge in the solution and spread glass with this product. Now it remains to wait until the windows are dry, the moisture will evaporate, after which the remaining chalk or powder is wiped with a dry clean cloth.
3
On frosty days, condensate builds up on the warm side of the glass, the windows fog up, and at a low temperature they become frosty. To protect the windows from fogging and freezing, wipe them with a cloth moistened with glycerin.
If the glass is icy, you need to prepare a strong solution of sodium chloride and wipe the glass. The windows are thawing. After that, wipe them dry.
4
Frosted windows look beautiful, but get dirty faster than regular windows. Wash them better without using potent agents. The best option for washing is hot water with vinegar (a tablespoon per liter of water). After all the spots have been cleaned, you need to wipe the frosted glass with a soft cloth or a cloth made of absorbent tissue, for example, gauze.
note
Glass dishes can also be washed in the same way.
Useful advice
To prevent flies from landing on the mirror and windows, you can wipe the glass with a cut onion.
