Fill a small spray bottle with a mixture of vinegar and water. Select your solution strength based on the dirtiness of your windows and fill a small spray bottle with it. Using a spray bottle for small windows is particularly effective because it allows you to spray a small area that you can easily dry before moving on to the next window.

3

Spray the window's surface. Use the spray bottle to mist the entire first window that you want to clean with the mixture. If youre cleaning more than one window, only apply the vinegar to the first window.

Fill a bucket with a mixture of vinegar and water. For large windows, youll need a larger amount of your vinegar solution than what will fit into a spray bottle. You can use the same formulas listed above, again depending on the state of your windows.

Touch the window up with a microfiber cloth. To get the remaining moisture out of the corners of the window, use a microfiber cloth to rub the vinegar away. Rub any areas that begin to streak with the microfiber cloth before moving on to the next window.

Why did vinegar and water not get my windows clean when I used a power washer?

wikiHow Contributor

Maybe the strength of the washer just blasted the solution off without giving it a chance to get the grime off your windows. Next time, skip the power washer.

Is it okay to use a quality glass cleaner after first cleaning with water and vinegar?

wikiHow Contributor

Yes, that seems unecessary, but it won't hurt anything.

How do I remove tree sap from a window?

wikiHow Contributor

I have used Goo Gone to get sap off windows. Just use glass cleaner afterward because Goo Gone will leave behind some oily residue.

4 Ways to Clean Windows With Vinegar - wikiHow

Whether hanging off the side of a building or using a powerful chemical, professional window cleaners have a lot of safety concerns on the job.

And when things go wrong, they can go wrong dramatically. Earlier this year in Hawaii, for example, a newly minted window washer starting his first day on the job lost consciousness while hanging from the side of a skyscraper. His coworkers, attempting to keep the man up, were struggling with exhaustion themselves. To recover the men, firefighters had to break an eighth-story window.

With such incidents in mind, the International Window Cleaning Association has published a new online safety guide to explain the risks of professional window cleaning and provide guidance for staying safe on the job.

The guide details tactics cleaners can use to prevent falls, ensure the proper use of razor blades and chemicals, deal with emergency situations such as earthquakes and medical incidents, and keep building occupants and the public safe.

The purpose of this field guide is to provide you with a list of the major recognized safety hazards which may be encountered during professional window cleaning, the website states. This field guide also provides some of the key best practices to address these hazards and help you stay safe on the job.

The guide is a product of IWCAs long collaboration with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Before 1991, using rope descent equipment in window cleaning was technically illegal because it was not regulated. IWCA reached out to OSHA to make the case for regulating the equipment, and theyve worked together ever since.

In November, OSHA updated its Final Rule on Walking and Working Surfaces and Personal Fall Protection Systems for General Industry. As much as possible, OSHA aligned fall protection requirements for general industry with those for construction, easing compliance for employers who perform both types of activities, OSHA said.

Window-Washing Group Offers New Safety Guide for High-Flying Members - Associations Now

The sun glinted off Lola McKamys iridescent pink cape as she strolled through the lobby of Childrens Hospital & Medical Center. Two of her brothers, Henry and Finn, followed close behind in red capes.

Then Lola, 3, zipped ahead and announced, Theyre here!

A special crew piled out of an ambulance: Batman, Robin, Superman, Spider-Man and Captain America. The superheroes visited the Omaha hospital Monday and swapped crime-fighting for cleaning. Before washing the six-floor hospitals windows, they met and posed for pictures with eager young patients and families in the lobby.

This was the fourth year that Buck McGraw, who strongly resembles Bruce Wayne, and his colleagues from Fisher Building Services have dressed up on the job.

Donning the costumes makes window washing a little tougher and hotter but it cheers up the patients.

Theyre not here because its summer camp, so we want to make them smile, McGraw, er, Batman said. When they come up to the windows and you see them smiling, its worth it.

The McKamy trio, of Concord, Nebraska, was at the hospital to visit their newborn brother, Huxley. The baby underwent surgery for Hirschsprung disease, a condition affecting the large intestine.

Meeting superheroes made the hospital visit a little more exciting, said their mother, Brooke McKamy.

After Lola landed photos with each superhero, she ran over to give her grandma a high-five. And Finn, 15 months, took to the Caped Crusaders sidekick, Robin.

After the superheroes visited in the lobby, they headed to the hospital roof, where, still in capes and full costumes they fastened their harnesses and ropes.

The special guests were well-received, but some kids, including Zoe Groff, hoped to spot Wonder Woman.

There was a boy Wonder Woman, Zoe said. Her mom laughed the little girl was referring to Captain America.

The 6-year-old, at the hospital for a heart condition, was taken by surprise when the cleaning crew knocked on the window. Later, her twin sister Chloe pressed her hands against the glass and peered down, watching the cleaners outside, floors below.

It boosts your spirits, and its something different, said the Lincoln twins mother, Lacey Groff. I think its just awesome they dress up to do the windows.

Luke Schwarz of Winslow, Nebraska, took a break from sorting his football card collection to watch Spider-Man and Captain America scrub the windows with soapy water and squeegees. The 8-year-old, who was hospitalized for issues with diabetes, crouched on his rooms window seat as the heroes slowly descended from the roof.

It definitely makes (being in the hospital) easier. Its more entertainment than staring at these four walls, said mom Amanda Schwarz.

In general, I tend to prefer serious patina. My old aircooled Porsche still has bug guts on the windshield that it earned in the aftermath of an Iowa rainstorm. Rather than cleaning my cars, I prefer to spend my time driving them, and given a spare three hours on a Sunday afternoon, I'd rather head for the hills than pick up my clay bar. As Porsche fanatics go, I realize I may be in the minority with that opinion. I've seen my fair share of PCA Concours fields to know that a lot of Porsche folks enjoy spending their time cleaning the buttons on their dash with toothpicks and cotton swabs. That's not really my bag, but maybe this bag is yours?

A couple of years ago, Porsche Classic introduced this cool houndstooth carry bag that comes with a full suite of Porsche-endorsed cleaning products for your vintage P-car. It includes tire cleaner, window cleaner, plastics cleaner, wheel cleaner (different than tire cleaner) with some extra brushes, a cleaning clay, car shampoo, a polish, and a hard wax. Applicators for each are included as necessary, as well. The set is said to be a thorough, yet gentle all-around clean and protection kit, and everything was tested by engineers in Weissach.

None of that really matters, because we just wanted an excuse to post this really cool video that Porsche released to promote the set. Watch as this early production 911 is cleaned back to original, turning back the years right in front of your eyes.

A fraudster has been jailed for two years after he posed as a window cleaner to try and get money out of vulnerable Huddersfield pensioners.

Leeds Crown Court heard on the evening of May 23, John Foggo went to the home of an elderly woman in Netherton and claimed to be collecting money for cleaning her windows.

The woman, who had Alzheimers was confused by him. He said he had been there on an earlier occasion when he had carried out the work.

John Bull prosecuting said the woman was helped daily by family and decided to ring her daughter but as she did so, her son arrived at the property.

He was surprised to hear voices inside and when he went in found Foggo who persisted with his ruse that he was the window cleaner. Asked how long he had been doing that he said two years and her son knew that could not be right.

There was a physical confrontation when he tried to stop Foggo leaving and they grappled briefly before the conman ran off. Her son tried to chase him but lost him.

However he was arrested the next day from his description and was also found to have been the person who called at two neighbouring bungalows in Netherton on May 19 telling pensioners who lived there he had come to collect money for cleaning windows, although in both cases the occupants did not hand over any money.

Mr Bull said Foggo was sentenced in 2013 for fraud offences when he visited homes in Mirfield claiming to repair and service boilers.

Daniel Smith representing Foggo said his previous convictions resulted from his drug misuse but he had become clean from heroin during his last custodial sentence.

The current offences occurred when his benefits had been stopped but he was now working as a scaffolder and had secure accommodation.

Foggo, 36, of New North Road, Huddersfield admitted one charge of fraud and asked for two to be taken into consideration.

Jailing him Judge Robin Mairs said his history showed he specifically targeted the vulnerable and weak.

Those you choose are easy prey and you prey on that vulnerability and confusion to try and get money from them.

This was planned offending, going to areas where they live and seeking them out. It is not hard to imagine the confusion and shock it causes on this in our society who deserve the protection of the courts from people like you.

As much as like to believe otherwise, many programs do not completely clean after themselves when you uninstall. In other words, many programs leave traces (in the form of files, folders, and registry entries) on your computer after you have uninstalled them. That is why clean uninstallers are so handy; they help you remove files, folders, and registry entries that programs leave behind after being uninstalled.

The program, however, is there are so many clean uninstallers out there that it is hard to know which one to pick. This is why we decided find and review (with your help, of course thanks everyone for providing suggestions) the best free clean uninstallers for Windows. Enjoy!

This review is part of our Best Free Windows Software section. Check out more articles on the best free Windows programs by clicking here.

Before we delve into the review, let me explain one important concept: the different methods of performing a clean uninstall.

There are three ways a program can do clean uninstalls after- uninstall scan, snapshot comparison, and real-time monitor:

Take note none of these three methods is 100% accurate. However, of all three methods the best method is real-time monitor simply because it is more user-friendly due to no waiting and is the most accurate in removing leftover files, folders, and registry entries. Of course that does not mean clean uninstallers that use the other two methods are inaccurate in removing leftover files, folders, and registry entries; a good clean uninstallers that use one of the other two methods can be just as good as one that uses real-time monitor. However, the no waiting aspect to real-time monitor is very important because people like myself will often stop using a clean uninstaller if it makes us wait during installation/uninstallation.

The programs reviewed in this article utilize a mix of real-time monitor and after uninstall scan; programs that use snapshot comparison were reviewed but did not make the cut due to how annoying they are to use (too much waiting).

That said, lets begin

Why would anybody ever want to clean out this hidden directory? Simple, it gets full of junk that you dont need or want any more.

Anytime an MS update fails to install or gets interrupted, regardless of the product, pieces get left in windowsinstaller so that you loose disc space. This appears to be by design as MS has now removed the download for MsiZap.

If you ever wish to see how much space you can reclaim from all those uncessary installation files leftover to rot in your windows folder, download MsiZap.exe. I have chosen to link it right here for all to download as needed. This tool is a must and why on earth MS chose to remove it I will never know.

So now that you have this important file here is how to use it.

Press Start=>run and type cmd. If you are using the new crappy windows, dont use this program cuz you know your version of windows is just too cool to need anything like this.

Navigate on the command prompt to where the file is located. I place the file in %systemroot%msizap.exe so that it was all ready to in my path.

Now that you have the location down just type:

Watch as lots of stuff scrolls by on your screen, or not depending on how long windows has been installed. Then go check your system drive and see how much space you have saved yourself.

This program has been able to save me and several family members lots of space. Normally its about 2-10 GBs but this one time while camping it was over 60GBs

Hope this program helps you as much as it helped me.

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems. Development of Windows 8 started before the release of its predecessor, Windows 7, in 2009. It was announced at CES 2011, and followed by the release of three pre-release versions from September 2011 to May 2012. The operating system was released to manufacturing on August 1, 2012, and was released for general availability on October 26, 2012.[8]

Windows 8 introduced major changes to the operating system's platform and user interface to improve its user experience on tablets, where Windows was now competing with mobile operating systems, including Android and iOS.[9] In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen (which displays programs and dynamically updated content on a grid of tiles), a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services (including the ability to sync apps and settings between devices), and Windows Store, an online store for downloading and purchasing new software. Windows 8 added support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware, to prevent malware from infecting the boot process.

Windows 8 was released to a mixed reception. Although reaction towards its performance improvements, security enhancements, and improved support for touchscreen devices was positive, the new user interface of the operating system was widely criticized for being potentially confusing and difficult to learn (especially when used with a keyboard and mouse instead of a touchscreen). Despite these shortcomings, 60 million Windows 8 licenses have been sold through January 2013, a number which included both upgrades and sales to OEMs for new PCs.[10]

On October 17, 2013, Microsoft released Windows 8.1. It addresses some aspects of Windows 8 that were criticized by reviewers and early adopters and incorporates additional improvements to various aspects of the operating system.[11][12]

Windows 8 development started before Windows 7 had shipped in 2009.[13] At the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2011, it was announced that the next version of Windows would add support for ARM system-on-chips alongside the existing x86 processors produced by vendors, especially AMD and Intel. Windows division president Steven Sinofsky demonstrated an early build of the port on prototype devices, while Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced the company's goal for Windows to be "everywhere on every kind of device without compromise."[14][15][16][17] Details also began to surface about a new application framework for Windows 8 codenamed "Jupiter", which would be used to make "immersive" applications using XAML (similarly to Windows Phone and Silverlight) that could be distributed via a new packaging system and a rumored application store.[18]

Three milestone releases of Windows 8 leaked to the general public. Milestone 1, Build 7850, was leaked on April 12, 2011.[19] It was the first build where the text of a window was written centered instead of aligned to the left. It was also probably the first appearance of the Metro-style font, and its wallpaper had the text shhh... let's not leak our hard work. However, its detailed build number reveals that the build was created on September 22, 2010.[20] The leaked copy edition was Enterprise edition. The OS still reads as "Windows 7". Milestone 2, Build 7955, was leaked on April 25, 2011. The traditional Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) was replaced by a new Black screen, although this was later scrapped.[21] This build introduced a new ribbon in Windows Explorer. Build 7959, with minor changes but the first 64-bit version, was leaked on May 1, 2011. The "Windows 7" logo was temporarily replaced with text displaying "Microsoft Confidential". On June 17, 2011, build 7989 64-bit edition was leaked. It introduced a new boot screen featuring the same fish as the default Windows 7 Beta wallpaper, which was later scrapped, and the circling dots as featured in the final (although the final version comes with smaller circling dots throbber). It also had the text Welcome below them, although this was also scrapped.[22]

On June 1, 2011, Microsoft unveiled Windows 8's new user interface as well as additional features at both Computex Taipei and the D9: All Things Digital conference in California.[23][24]

The "Building Windows 8" blog launched on August 15, 2011, featuring details surrounding Windows 8's features and its development process.[25]

Microsoft unveiled more Windows 8 features and improvements on the first day of the Build conference on September 13, 2011.[26] Microsoft released the first public beta build of Windows 8, Windows Developer Preview (build 8102) at the event. A Samsung tablet running the build was also distributed to all attendees of the conference.
