5- THE WEATHER IS A GOOD ADVISER

5- THE WEATHER IS A GOOD ADVISER

Never clean the windows if the weather report announces rain. Better choose a cloudy day or when the sun does not shine directly on them. Excessive heat can dry out the product before cleaning and leave streaks on the crystals. Shine them up with a newspaper—dust on a sunny day, when the particles are most visible. And when you wet mop the floor, it will dry much faster if you open the windows and let the air circulate.
