Advanced Techniques for Window Cleaning with the Norwex Cloth
Mastering the use of the Norwex Window Cloth goes beyond just wiping down surfaces. By incorporating advanced techniques, you can achieve a streak-free, sparkling clean that will leave your windows looking pristine
Utilize the Dry Microfiber Side
Use the dry microfiber side of the cloth to remove loose dirt, dust, and debris before using the wet side. This helps prevent streaks and allows the wet side to lift and trap dirt more effectively.
Fold the Cloth Strategically
Fold the cloth in half or quarters to create a smaller working surface. This provides more leverage and allows you to work in tighter spaces or around intricate window frames.
Use a Circular Motion
Avoid wiping in straight lines. Instead, use small, circular motions to gently lift and absorb dirt. This helps prevent smudging and leaves a more evenly cleaned surface.
Apply Gentle Pressure
Too much pressure can cause streaking. Use a light touch and let the cloth’s fibers do the work. Soften the water by adding a few drops of Norwex Dish Soap to a spray bottle and lightly mist the cloth before using.
Work in Sections
Don’t try to clean the entire window at once. Work in smaller sections to avoid spreading dirt and achieve a more thorough clean.
Use a Ladder or Step Stool
For high windows or hard-to-reach areas, use a ladder or step stool to provide a safe and comfortable working platform.
Rinse and Wring the Cloth Regularly
To prevent dirt and debris from building up on the cloth, rinse it thoroughly and wring out any excess water before reusing it.
Dry the Window with a Clean Cloth
Once the window is clean, use a dry, clean cloth or paper towels to remove any remaining moisture and prevent water spots.
Clean Both Sides of the Window at Once
If possible, clean both sides of the window at the same time. This ensures an even clean and prevents streaks from developing when one side dries before the other.
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Streaks | Use a dry microfiber cloth first, fold the cloth strategically, use a circular motion, apply gentle pressure, and dry the window with a clean cloth. |
| Smudges | Use a circular motion, apply gentle pressure, and avoid wiping in straight lines. |
| Dirt buildup | Rinse and wring the cloth regularly, and use a dry microfiber cloth to remove loose dirt before using the wet side. |
