How to clean windowsills

Steps

1. 1

   Vacuum or brush the sill first — dead insects, grit and hair come off dry, not wet.

2. 2

   Spray all-purpose cleaner on your cloth, not on the window, so you do not streak the glass.

3. 3

   Wipe the sill in an S-pattern, then the sides and the sill edge.

4. 4

   Use a cleaning toothbrush or cotton bud in the corners and the window track.

5. 5

   Buff dry so no water sits in the corners.
