Many people may be busy cleaning up on the last Sunday of this year. I would like to take this opportunity to make the window glass shiny and have a refreshing New Year. This time, we asked Makoto Ozaki, a technical advisor at Osouji Honpo, to teach us the tricks behind window glass cleaning. Please use it as a reference for general cleaning.
“When the sunlight is strong, the reflection of the light makes it difficult to see the dirt on the windows. Therefore, if it is a sunny day, the sunlight is not too strong in the morning or evening, or on a cloudy day. You should do it. “
All you need is two towels. If it is lightly soiled, just wipe it with a towel and it will be clean enough without using detergent.
(1) Wipe with water while being aware of the “U-shape”
First, wipe with a towel. “Wet the towel with water, squeeze it loosely, fold it and apply it to the corner of the glass to wipe it with water. The point is to wipe it with the image of a“ U ”,” Ozaki advises. ..
– When it hits the left side in this way, slide it down again and wipe it in a “reverse U” shape. If the wiped surface of the towel becomes dirty, fold it back and wipe it with a clean surface. (2) Finish with a dry wipe – “Speed is also important. Let’s wipe off the water quickly before the water wipe dries. The gas station clerk also has a water wipe towel and a dry towel, and you can see the window cleaning work done quickly in this way. Mild It is effective for stains on the surface, so please try it. “(Mr. Ozaki) – (1) Wipe with water diluted with dish detergent (2) Drain the water with a squeegee – (3) Finish with microfiber cloth – Interview cooperation: Mr. Makoto Ozaki, Technical Advisor of Osouji Honpo – –

If it is naturally dried only by wiping with water, traces of water droplets will remain and the finish will not be beautiful. After wiping with water, it is basically a dry wipe. Fold the remaining towel and wipe it dry in a quick circular motion. By doing so, you can erase the traces of water droplets and eliminate the unwiped residue.

You can use a commercially available window glass detergent, but a dishwashing detergent (neutral detergent) diluted about 100 times with water is also effective. Soak a towel in the liquid, squeeze it loosely, and wipe it in a U shape in the same way as[Easy Cleaning].
Next up is the drainer goods “Squeegee,” which are sold at 100-yen shops. Place a squeegee on the corner above the window and let it drop straight down to drain the water. “Once you have cut one row, wipe off the water droplets on the corners of the squeegee with a towel. After that, drain the second row next to it, but the starting position is about one-third of the first row. I will do it again “(Mr. Ozaki)

Water droplets remaining on the top, bottom, left, and right of the window glass are wiped off with a microfiber cloth to finish. Towels are fine, but microfiber cloth is better without dust and fiber debris.
