Like baseboards, windowsills attract their fair share of dust. Additionally, if you’re lucky enough to live in a climate that allows you to open your windows often, your sills maybe covered with gummy smudges and fingerprints.
You’ll need:
- Spray bottle
- Dishwashing liquid
- microfiber cloths
Fortunately, cleaning windowsills isn’t difficult, and it’s not a very time-consuming task either. Therefore, it should be fairly easy to work this chore into your regular cleaning schedule..
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
1Step 1Wipe
Wipe the windowsills with a dry microfiber to remove dust.
-
2Step 2Mix
Mix a few drops of dishwashing liquid with warm water in a spray bottle.
-
3Step 3Spritz
Spritz a microfiber cloth with the solution (avoiding oversaturation).
-
4Step 4Wipe
Gently wipe windowsills and frames, applying more pressure with fingertips for stubborn smudges.
Maintain cleanliness by dusting weekly or biweekly during routine house cleaning.
Note: It’s especially important to apply your cleaner to the cloth — and not the windowsills themselves — if you have wooden window frames. Oversaturating wood can damage the finish or paint. Worse yet, too much liquid could cause the wood to warp.
