Reduce salt residue on windows

April 28, 2009 | Filed under Cleaning hints and tips

The most common response to this problem is to frequently wash the windows down to keep the salt residue from building up. One suggestion is:

Dissolve ¼ cup baking soda and  ½ c vinegar in 1 litre water in a bucket.. Wash windows with this mixture on a squeeze mop or squeegee. Rinse windows well.  Hose down weekly to prevent build up and every few months use the baking soda and vinegar mixture again.

Or you can simply use a hose and long handled scrubbing brush to stop the salt residue build up.

There are a number of products that can be purchased including:

  • a preparation used to wash houses down before painting available from paint retailers
  • a boat wash
  • special window cleaning products that will deal to the salt available from glass suppliers or glaziers
  • a permanent non-stick coating that claims to reduce maintenance considerably
