Learning how to use a\u00a0window vac<\/a>\u00a0can save you a lot of time and energy when cleaning your windows and getting them in great shape. For some time now, window vacuums have been gaining popularity as the quick and simple way to get your glass in good shape. You can use these devices for windows and your worksurfaces, shower doors, and more.<\/p>\n

The only question is, how do you start using a window vacuum cleaner in the first place? Although most products come with a few instructions to get you started, you might need a little extra guidance to achieve that streak-free finish.<\/p>\n

If your windows are causing headaches, don’t panic. Here are some top tips on how to use your window vacuum correctly.<\/p>\n

Prepping For a Better Clean<\/h2>\n

Before you use your window vacuum cleaner, make sure you have everything you need for a great clean. It usually means grabbing more than just your Karcher window vac or any other window vac you might be using.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ensure you have a spray bottle available<\/strong>\u00a0if you use other cleaning substances that you don’t want to put in your window vacuum. Like the Karcher window vac, most products will have restrictions on the kind of cleaners you can use.<\/li>\n
  2. It would help if you also\u00a0have a microfibre cloth in place<\/strong>\u00a0to buff out any streaks when you’re done with your window<\/a> cleaning session. Review different clothes online to make sure you get one that’s lint-free.<\/li>\n
  3. Before you start using your product to make your bathroom tiles<\/a> sparkling clean,\u00a0enhance your shower appearance<\/strong>, or eliminate the condensation marks on your window glass. Virtually all window vac technology will come with some information on using the suction and surface cleaning head.<\/li>\n
  4. If you can’t find instructions for cleaning windows within the box of your cleaner, look online for the name of your window vac brand<\/strong>\u00a0and see whether there are any instructions online.<\/li>\n
  5. Ensure your window vac is charged<\/strong>\u00a0if you’re using a rechargeable one with its charger before you review the instructions below.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How to Add Cleaner to Your Window Vac<\/h2>\n

    Once you’ve prepped your microfiber cloth and suction system, the next step is to add your cleaning substance to the vacuum cleaner<\/a>. You can check online or in the instructions to see what kind of liquid or substance you might be able to use to clean various surface areas around your home. Avoid using anything that may harm the tank.<\/p>\n

    Ideally, it’s best to avoid glass cleaners based on alcohol or ammonia<\/strong>. They are more likely to leave streaks and even attract dust and moisture over time. If you’re going to use a purchased solution, stick to one recommended by your window vac manufacturer.<\/p>\n

    If you’re happy to\u00a0make your surface cleaner, you can make a pretty good one by combining one part distilled vinegar with ten parts warm water. Mix the substance and spray it onto any glass marks, condensation, and dirt around your house. You can use this solution on a wide range of surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen as well as on your windows.<\/p>\n

    Once you’ve given the mixture time to soak onto your mirror or surface, use a lint-free towel to rub it into the dirty spots on your window, using as much of the solution as you like. Then grab your handy window vac to do the rest of the work.<\/p>\n
