Window Cleaning: Steps and Tips

It’s fair to only want your windows to shine as they did the day they were installed. Clean windows invite more light into your house and help you feel more connected to nature. However, figuring out how to clean your windows properly while avoiding streaks and scratching may be difficult. Here are a few pointers on how to clean windows like an expert without spending a fortune. Window cleaning is easier than you think it is.

First of all, let’s look at the things needed to get into the job.

Equipment needed

– Bucket (Big enough to dip the squeegee and a mop)

– Squeegee

– Mop

– Scraper

– A wet and a dry cloth

– Detergent/Cleaning product

Now let’s dive right into the business.

Pro Tip: Wear something that covers your mouth. Therefore, the cleaning compound does not get into your nose.

Step 1: Spray the cleaning product over the dusty window

Remove dust off the window frame with a brush before starting just to make sure that dirt does not combine with a cleaner and develop into a muddy mess. If your window screen is very filthy, remove it and scrub it with hot, warm soapy water and a gentle brush, then rinse and dry before replacing it.

The cleaning product could either be window cleaner or 3:1 ratio mixed sugar soap and water. Depending on the dustiness of the window, you can choose either of them.

Step 2: Go for the windows

For windows with several small panes, a sponge can be used, and for bigger picture windows, a squeegee can be used. In the bucket of cleaner, dip your sponge. Wipe down the entire window, being careful to get into all of the corners, after squeezing off the extra water.

Caution! : High-level windows must be cleaned using a ladder. The cleaner should be very cautious while using the ladder.

Step 3: Wipe the windows dry

This is one of the crucial steps in cleaning the windows. If the Window is not wiped dry, there would be no benefits from carrying out the steps above as soapy, dry marks on the window. This is one of the crucial steps in Cleaning the Windows.

Use the rubber blade on the squeegee to wipe away the water vertically from top to bottom on small-paned windows. Use horizontal strokes to create a photo window. Begin at the top of the window and work your way down. Overlap each stroke by a few inches, then wipe the blade dry between strokes with a lint-free towel.

Step 3: Take care of the excess water

The last step is to wipe down the excess water making the windows look neat and tidy.
