Is vinegar
really a good way to get your windows clean?
Can you get the best results with newspaper? We put those old wives’ tales to the test.
Pick up any tips and wrinkles book and they’ll insist that nothing
gets windows cleaner than vinegar or newspaper.
And they have a point. Diluted
vinegar (and a heavy dollop of elbow grease) or newspaper (and a heavier dollop
of elbow grease) are pretty effective at getting windows clean. But the problem with these old wives’ tales
is that they are from olden times. Yes,
if you have nothing better, diluted vinegar or newspaper will get you
reasonable results – often better than you’ll get with detergent and a
cloth. But when the sun shines you will
still be able to see all the marks where you have rubbed.
But the 21st century is not the place for these old
wives, or even desperate housewives. The
21st century offers something much better, which means the old
wives’ tales are destined to be reduced to mere folklore. And that’s Waterfed Pole WindowCleaning. Even the best balsamic can’t
compete with the sparkle achieved by pure water and gentle brushes. And it doesn’t matter whether you use a
tabloid or the FT, you won’t get the long-lasting results that you get from
gently washing the frames before you clean the panes.
So
if a bird leaves an unwelcome greeting card on your window and I’m not due to
visit again for a few weeks, by all means resort to emergency measures. But for clean windows that stay clean, leave
the old wives’ tales in the history books and embrace the Waterfed Pole Window
Cleaning revolution!
