Window Washing Tips

Interesting and informative tips on window cleaning:

1. Choose the Right Time: Clean windows on a cloudy day or when the windows are not in direct sunlight to prevent streaks caused by the cleaning solution drying too quickly.

2. Gather Supplies: Use a squeegee, microfiber cloths, a bucket, and a good-quality window cleaning solution. 

3. Dust First: Remove dust and cobwebs from the window frame and sill with a dry cloth or vacuum before applying any liquid.

4. Remove Frames: Remove all frames from each of the windows

5. Use a Squeegee: Apply the cleaning solution with a sponge or cloth, then use a squeegee to remove it. Start at the top and work your way down in a reverse-S pattern, wiping the squeegee blade with a clean cloth after each pass.

6. Microfiber Cloths: Use microfiber cloths to wipe any remaining moisture and to wipe down the glass for a streak-free finish.

7. Clean Both Sides: Don’t forget to clean the windows' inside and outside for the best results.

8. Tackle Tough Spots: For stubborn spots like bird droppings or sap, let the cleaning solution sit for a few minutes before scrubbing gently with a non-abrasive pad.

9. Regular Maintenance: Clean windows regularly to prevent the buildup of dirt and grime, which can make cleaning more difficult over time. We suggest every 6 months.

10. Safety First: If cleaning windows on upper floors, use a stable ladder or consider hiring a professional to avoid accidents.

11. Check Weather Stripping: While cleaning, inspect the weather stripping and seals around the windows for any damage or wear.
