Preparing the Window Cloth

To maximize the effectiveness of your Norwex Window Cloth, proper preparation is crucial. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

After dampening, wring out any excess water from the cloth. This step is essential to prevent water spots or streaks from forming on your windows.

How to Wring Out Excess Water
– Twist the cloth gently between your hands.

– Use a salad spinner or a Norwex Microfiber Laundry Basket with the lid to remove more water.

Once you have effectively cleaned your windows with the Norwex Window Cloth, it’s time to polish them for a streak-free, gleaming finish.

5. Drying the Window:

– **Using the Dry Corner:** Fold the Window Cloth into quarters and wipe the window in a circular motion, starting from the top and working your way down. The dry corner will effectively absorb any remaining moisture, ensuring a crystal-clear finish.
– **Vertical Wiping:** Hold the Window Cloth vertically and wipe the window in vertical strokes, overlapping each stroke to prevent streaking.
– **Horizontal Wiping:** After completing the vertical strokes, repeat the process by wiping the window horizontally. Ensure that you overlap the strokes to eliminate any potential streaks.
– **Use a Clean Side:** Regularly flip the Window Cloth to a clean side to avoid transferring any dirt or streaks to the polished window.

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.
Hard-to-reach areas Use a ladder or step stool to provide a safe and comfortable working platform.
