    Time to Clean Off That Artificial Snow, Cincinnati!

    Boy Looking Into Window With Artificial Snow

    Boy Looking Into Window With Artificial SnowArtificial snow is fun to spray on during Christmas time to decorate your windows, patio doors and storm doors in Cincinnati. It stays where you want it to stay and you don’t have to worry about it melting away. Sadly though, the holidays are over now and it is time to say goodbye to the Christmas decorations and to clean the artificial snow from the windows.

    Unlike the holiday pounds that you also added to your life this season, artificial snow is a little easier to get rid of. But, here are some tips to make the job even easier.

    Vacuum Your Snow

    Unlike the holiday pounds that you also added to your life this season, artificial snow is a little easier to get rid of. But, here are some tips to make the job even easier.

    For the snow that is loosely attached to your window, just lying on the sill, or on the ground below use your vacuum cleaner to get it up.  For the window sill and the window use one of the attachments to get in all the nooks and crannies, preferable the one with the bristles on it.

    The floor should be vacuumed last and can be done with the main part of the vacuum.

    Protection From Wet Snow

    When you are cleaning up artificial window snow, it is always best to take precautions and protect your wood window sill and carpet below your window.

    So, after you are done vacuuming the area around the windows, put down towels on both the carpet and the window sill.  That way if you do have anything drip off your window on accident while you are cleaning it, the area around it will already be protected.

    Spray, Don’t Scrape the Snow

    For the artificial window snow that is stuck on firmly, wash it off – don’t scrape it!

    While many people scrape the snow off their windows, this isn’t a good idea.  First, scraping the artificial snow off increases your chance that you are going to permanently damage the glass.  Second, the snow that you are scraping off ends up all over the place, which creates another mess for you to clean up.

    Instead, spray small sections of the snow with an aerosol window cleaner.  Allow the cleaner sit for about 30 seconds, and then take a paper towel and rub the cleaner into the artificial snow with medium pressure until it starts to come off of the glass.

    Repeat the above steps until all of the snow is off the window and your window is clean.
