At Croft Conservatories in Preston, Lancashire, we pride ourselves on quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. We therefore wrote this blog to help our customers maintain their beautiful conservatories, windows and orangeries and keep them in tip top condition so that they can be really enjoyed this spring.

Spring is the traditional time to do a deep clean at home. Suddenly the longer days and brighter light shows up marks on windows and dust in corners so it is the ideal time to roll your sleeves up and get to work. Somethings are easier to clean than others however. Mirrors and windows are top of the list to be tricky so read on for our top tips to make a difficult job that bit easier.

To wash your windows so that they show off your conservatory or orangery to the best possible effect, you will need a sponge, a bucket filled with warm water and vinegar or a glass cleaning solution, a dry microfiber cloth and a ideally a squeegee.

It is exactly the same procedure to clean the inside of a window as it is to clean the outside although there is usually much more dirt on the outside so it is a good idea to do the outside first. This way you will be able to see how good a job you are doing when you do the inside and look out. When you get to the inside, you will also want to take more care not to spill excess water around so some old towels on your window sills or floor are a good idea.

Feel free to show us some before and after spring clean shots via Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest or Twitter as we would love to see your efforts.
