5 Quick Tips to Make Your Home Sparkle

When you don’t have time for a deep clean, try these tips for giving your home a little more sparkle. Tackling one hard-to-reach area or an often-forgotten fixture can make a big difference in just a few minutes.

1. Look for products that do the work for you

Good cleaning products will save you time and elbow grease. Windex® Original Glass Cleaner is a great choice for windows and mirrors – it breaks down smudges before you wipe.


2. Make your wall art sparkle

Windex® Original Wipes are terrific for cleaning framed artwork—simply wipe off the glass and frame. Use them in place of spray-on cleaners that can seep in between the glass and the artwork. Reminder: skip the frame if it’s made out of wood and dust with a different product.


3. Look beyond the glass

Use cotton swabs dipped in Windex® Original Glass Cleaner to clean dirt and grime from window tracks.


4. Let in the light

Turn off your lights, take down the fixtures and carefully clean them with Windex® Ammonia-Free Glass Cleaner. Don’t forget to wipe off your light bulbs too (do this only when they’re off and completely cool). Grime and dust can dim a bulb's lighting efficiency.


5. Prevent water spots

Rub clean faucets with wax paper to help prevent water spots. Sparkling fixtures can brighten up the bathroom or kitchen.
