Creating a magnetic window cleaner is a simple and cost-effective way to keep your windows sparkling clean. With just a few materials and some easy steps, you can make your own magnetic window cleaner at home.
Here are the key takeaways to understand how to make a magnetic window cleaner:
- Gather the necessary materials
- Cut the felt and microfiber fabric into rectangles
- Attach magnets to the felt pieces
- Glue the microfiber fabric onto the felt
- Allow the cleaner to dry
- Start cleaning your windows
Gathering the Necessary Materials
Before you begin making your magnetic window cleaner, make sure you have all the required materials. Here's what you'll need:
- 2 pieces of felt
- 2 pieces of microfiber fabric
- 2 magnets
- Hot glue
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Pen
Having these materials ready will ensure a smooth and efficient process.
Cutting the Felt and Microfiber Fabric
Once you have gathered all the materials, it's time to cut the felt and microfiber fabric into equal rectangles. This step is crucial to ensure that your magnetic window cleaner is symmetrical and effective in cleaning.
Using a ruler and a pen, measure and mark the desired size for your rectangles on both the felt and microfiber fabric. Then, carefully cut along the marked lines using a pair of scissors. Make sure the rectangles are of the same size for optimal performance.
Attaching Magnets to the Felt Pieces
Now that you have your cut rectangles of felt, it's time to attach the magnets. This is what will make your window cleaner magnetic and allow it to stick to the window surface.
Using hot glue, carefully apply a small amount of glue onto one side of each felt piece. Then, place a magnet onto the glued area and press it firmly to ensure it adheres properly. Repeat this process for the second felt piece and magnet.
Gluing the Microfiber Fabric onto the Felt
With the magnets securely attached to the felt, it's time to glue the microfiber fabric onto the felt pieces. The microfiber fabric will be the part that actually cleans the window surface.
Apply hot glue onto the side of each felt piece that does not have the magnet. Then, place a piece of microfiber fabric onto the glued area and press it down firmly. Make sure the fabric is centered and covers the entire surface of the felt.
Repeat this step for the second felt piece and microfiber fabric.
Allowing the Cleaner to Dry
After gluing the microfiber fabric onto the felt, please allow the cleaner to dry completely. This will ensure that the glue sets properly and the cleaner is ready for use.
Place the assembled magnetic window cleaner in a well-ventilated area and let it dry for the recommended time specified by the glue manufacturer. Avoid using the cleaner before it is fully dry to prevent any damage or ineffective cleaning.
Starting to Clean Your Windows
Once the magnetic window cleaner is completely dry, it's time to put it to use and start cleaning your windows. The magnetic feature of the cleaner allows it to stick to the window surface, making the cleaning process easier and more efficient.
Hold the cleaner by the sides with the microfiber fabric facing outwards. Gently run the cleaner over the window, moving it from side to side. The microfiber fabric will effectively remove dirt, dust, and grime, leaving your windows sparkling clean.
Remember to clean both the inside and outside of the window for a thorough cleaning. If necessary, rinse the microfiber fabric with water and wring it out before continuing to clean.
With your homemade magnetic window cleaner, you can now enjoy crystal-clear windows without the hassle of traditional cleaning methods. Regularly clean and maintain your magnetic window cleaner to ensure its longevity and optimal performance.
