- Soak the Cotton:
- Take the absorbent cotton balls or pads and soak them in the cleaning solution. Make sure they are well-saturated but not dripping wet.
- Wipe the Window Frames:
- Take a soaked cotton ball or pad and start wiping down the window frames. Focus on the corners and areas where dirt and grime tend to accumulate.
- If the cotton ball or pad gets too dirty, replace it with a new one and continue cleaning.
- Scrub Stubborn Spots:
- For tougher stains or spots, you may need to scrub a bit harder. The absorbent cotton should help lift the grime without scratching the surface.
- Rinse if Necessary:
- If you used a soapy solution, you might want to wipe the window frames again with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue.
- Dry the Frames:
- Use paper towels or a clean, dry cloth to wipe the window frames dry. This will help prevent water spots and ensure a clean finish.
- Inspect and Repeat if Needed:
- Check the window frames to ensure all the dirt and grime have been removed. If necessary, repeat the process in areas that need extra attention.
