Keeping the windows in your home clean can be a frustrating task.  It seems that the minute you're done cleaning the glass, streaks appear. We've got the solution.. These tips with help you keep your windows shining and crystal clear.

1. Use a squeegee with a soft rubber edge.  Prevent streaks from appearing by using a squeegee.  Starting on dry glass is essential to the process being effective.  Also, avoid washing the windows in direct sunlight.  The sun will dry the glass quicker, making it more likely to streak.
2. Antiseptic spray will eliminate dust from blinds.  Avoid dust accumulation by spraying the antistatic spray on the blinds immediately after cleaning them. 
3. Bleach-detergent solution fights mildew on the window frames.  combine 2 ounces of household bleach with 1 ounce of laundry detergent and a quart of water.  The sponge the solution onto the mildew areas using rubber gloves. 
4. Dust shades regularly with a soft cloth or rag to avoid filthy shades.
5. If your windows seem to get dirty fast, try changing your cooling and heating system's filter. Furnace and air conditioner filters trap dust, pollen, and dander inside the appliance.  Cleaning the filter is essential.
6. Secondhand smoke affects windows.  Remove nicotine film from windows by washing it with ammonia solution.  Mix 1 cup of lemon scented ammonia with 2 1/2 gallons of water. Ammonia will cut through the grime and the lemon scent will keep your home smelling clean and fresh.
7. Screens are often neglected but can give the impression your windows are dirtier than they actually are. Remove the screen and wash outside. Use a soft-bristle brush to scrub both sides. Rinse with a hose and dry thoroughly.

Is it time for some change in your bathroom?  Bell Mirror & Glass can make and install a custom frameless glass shower for you.  Frameless shower doors convey a clean, modern feel and are aesthetically pleasing.  The beauty of a frameless glass shower is complemented by its versatility, they can be placed in almost any part of the bathroom.  Here are a few tips on how to plan a frameless shower for your bathroom.

A frameless shower can be used to divide a bathroom, placing the shower in the center of the room with the vanities on either side.  This keeps the room open and airy.  Try placing the shower where the light is, like against a window.  This will have a great impact on the visual aspect of the space, this will transform a dim clustered space into a bright wide open bathroom, and create the illusion of extra space.  This is also great for showers that have tile along the wall.  There is no visual separation which will show off the tile art and again make the room look bigger.  For more great ideas on how to position and design your frameless shower door please visit http://goo.gl/MH82nI.

Bell Mirror & Glass can help you create your dream bathroom.  We are proud to provide custom shower enclosures to fit your needs. Shower doors have changed in many ways over the years; we now offer framed, semi-frameless, and completely frameless options in a variety of metal colors and glass patterns.
