HOW TO CLEAN WINDOWS
Are you a property owner looking for an easy, efficient way to clean your windows? Windows play an important role in the appearance of any building; they provide views and light inside, while also protecting from outside elements. Keeping them clean is essential if you want to maintain your home's beauty and structure over time. Fortunately, it doesn't have to be difficult or time-consuming; with the right steps and guidance, window cleaning can be an effective part of your routine maintenance. In this blog post we'll discuss how best to keep all types of windows on any property sparkling clean!
Keeping windows spotless and streak free can seem like a daunting task, but with the right window cleaner and some patience, anyone can get it done. The secret to window-cleaning success is to start by preparing the window by dusting or wiping with a wet cloth before actually applying any window cleaning products. You don’t need a fancy window cleaning solution for the job for optimal results – rather you can use simple dish washing liquid from your kitchen. Then use a good window scraper only if necessary and start from the edges of your window outward when washing.
The key to a good soapy lather like a professional window cleaner is not putting the washing liquid in the bucket of water, rather you want to apply it direct to the wet mop and then straight on the window. This will leave it with a good soapy lather and will make it easier to pinpoint where you need to use the squeegee on the window.
When you are using the squeegee, it is important that once it touches the glass you do not lift it until all the soap has been removed. Lifting the squeegee will cause streak marks on the window.
Start in one corner, pull straight down, rotate upwards into the other corner and then fan down through the middle of the window.
Closing out is another important step, take your time and ensure you close out at the bottom corner of the window.
Finally, finish off with a dry lint-free cloth to complete the streak free effect. With these tips, you'll be sure to have clean and streak free windows in no time!
