How to Clean Window Glass After You Use a Fire Extinguisher

Every kitchen should have a fire extinguisher.

Fire extinguishers effectively put out fires and it's wise to keep a fire extinguisher in your home. When a fire extinguisher is used to put out a fire it leaves a filmy residue behind. Remove the residue from window glass to prevent other dirt from being attracted to the residue. Tend to fire-extinguisher residue as quickly as possible for the easiest removal.

Things You'll Need

• Bucket
• 2 c. white vinegar
• Cleaning cloths
• Rubbing alcohol

Instructions

1. 

   A bucket makes the fire-extinguisher cleaning solution easy to carry from window to window.

   Combine 2 cups white vinegar and 2 cups warm water in a bucket. Soak a clean cloth in the solution and squeeze out the excess liquid.

2. Wipe the windows with the vinegar solution, using a little elbow grease on areas where the fire-extinguisher residue is dried. Rinse the cleaning cloth in plain water and dip it in the vinegar solution again to clean a new portion of the window.

3. Dry the window glass with a clean towel.

4. Look for any remaining fire-extinguisher residue on the window glass. Pour undiluted rubbing alcohol on a clean cloth and wipe up any remaining fire-extinguisher residue.

5. Wash the rubbing alcohol off the window glass with the vinegar solution, then dry with a clean towel.

Tips & Warnings

• Use diluted or undiluted white vinegar to clean any type of dirt or residue on windows.
