Window cleaner

Why good window cleaners make all the difference

A quality window cleaner is essential for maintaining a clear, clean, and welcoming home, car, or workspace. The right cleaner not only removes dirt, grime, and streaks effectively but also helps to prevent buildup that can dull your glass surfaces over time. This keeps them looking their best and extends their lifespan.

Good window cleaners also enhance visibility and light flow, improving the overall ambience of your space. Many modern formulas offer additional benefits, such as water-repellent coatings that make future cleaning easier and help protect against water spots and streaking.

At Biltema, you’ll find a wide range of window cleaners, including everyday solutions, eco-friendly options, and specialised treatments. With Biltema, you get reliable products that make cleaning easier and leave your windows spotless and sparkling for longer.

Find window cleaners for every surface

A good window cleaner is an essential household and automotive product that goes beyond just cleaning your home’s windows. It’s a versatile cleaning solution designed to keep various glass and reflective surfaces spotless, streak-free, and looking as good as new. For everyday cleaning or tackling stubborn marks, the right window cleaner ensures clarity, shine, and hygiene in every setting.

Achieve a streak-free shine in every corner of your home

In the home, it effortlessly removes fingerprints, water spots, and grime from windows, mirrors, shower screens, and glass doors, leaving them crystal clear. It’s just as effective on glass tables, kitchen splashbacks, and oven doors, cutting through grease and smudges to restore their shine.

Crystal clear visibility for safer driving and outdoor spaces

In your car, a clear windscreen and windows are vital for safe driving. A good window cleaner effectively removes dirt, insect splatters, and smudges, ensuring maximum visibility and comfort on the road. It’s equally effective outdoors, keeping glass patio furniture, greenhouses, and conservatory panels clean and bright.

Window cleaner and glass sealant: A complete care solution

Glass cleaner and glass sealant work together to keep glass surfaces spotless and protected, offering both immediate clarity and long-term maintenance.

Window cleaner

Window cleaner, or glass cleaner, is a specialised product that removes dirt, grease, fingerprints, and smudges from glass surfaces. It ensures a streak-free, crystal-clear finish and is commonly used on windows, mirrors, shower doors, and glass tables. Many glass cleaners contain alcohol, ammonia, or vinegar, which break down grime and evaporate quickly, leaving the surface sparkling clean.

Glass sealant

Glass sealant is a protective coating applied after cleaning. It forms a hydrophobic (water-repellent) layer on the glass, preventing water spots, limescale, soap scum, and dirt from sticking. This makes the glass much easier to clean and keeps it looking cleaner for longer. Glass sealants are especially useful on shower glass, car windows, and outdoor glass surfaces, offering durable protection against weather and stains.

When used together, the glass cleaner removes all dirt and smudges, while the glass sealant protects the surface from future buildup. This combination not only maintains a flawless appearance but also reduces the need for frequent cleaning, making glass surfaces easier to care for and keeping them shiny for longer.

Tips for cleaning your windows

Cleaning windows may seem challenging, but with the right techniques, window cleaner and tools, anyone can achieve sparkling, streak-free results at home. By following a few simple steps, you can transform smudged glass into crystal-clear windows that brighten your space.

• 1. Dust the surface first

Begin by removing loose dust, dirt, or cobwebs with a soft cloth, duster, or brush. This prevents scratching the glass when you start cleaning. For outdoor windows, rinse with water to wash away heavier dirt.

• 2. Choose the right window cleaner

Use window cleaner designed to cut through grease, fingerprints, and grime. Spray it directly onto the glass or apply it to a clean microfiber cloth for smaller areas. Avoid over-spraying, as excess liquid can cause streaks.

• 3. Wipe in circular motions

Gently spread the window cleaner over the entire surface using circular motions. This helps loosen stubborn spots and ensures even coverage. For tough stains, let the window cleaner sit for a few seconds before wiping.

• 4. Use a squeegee for large windows

For larger windows, a squeegee is a good help. Starting at the top corner, pull the squeegee down in straight strokes, wiping the blade with a clean cloth after each pass to prevent streaks.

• 5. Finish with vertical or horizontal strokes

After the initial cleaning, use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe the glass in straight vertical or horizontal strokes. This technique removes any remaining streaks and ensures a flawless finish.

• 6. Clean the frames and sills

Don’t forget to wipe down the window frames and sills with a damp cloth to remove dust and residue for a completely clean look.
