Window Cleaning How To's

Lots of individuals take it upon themselves the obligation of washing their own home windows and end up disappointed with the final results. Some are able to afford it and seek the services of professional window cleaners. Yet some just can't spend extra cash on hiring experts. Besides it is too far off to clean windows yourself. All you need is to learn the fundamentals and have with you the correct tools to complete the job right. Here is some window cleaning how to's.

To begin with you'll need a squeegee, a 12 inch one to be specific and should more than suffice. Go for one that is of high quality where you can put new rubber in the event it requires substitution. You also need a few old but clean cotton garments, dish soap and a bucket. If your house has a second storey then you need a ladder, but extendable poles are sufficient and will also have the desired effect.

First window cleaning how to would be to fill your pail with 2 gallons of cold water, and then add a shot of dish soap. Try various amounts but you don't want a lot of or not enough of the dish soap. You only require enough to provide a little slide and glide for your squeegee. Dip your strip washer into the water and sprinkle it all over to produce foam. Squeeze it out to remove extra water. Use the strip washer to the window and scrub in round motion. Clean until the grime is removed, then prepare to use squeegee on the glass. What you must do is scrub it horizontally first then up and down. When you scrub up and down, start from the top towards the bottom.

Don't put too much pressure on the window; let the squeegee do its wonder. Wipe the rubber of the squeegee dry with dry cotton cloth then pull down once again on the window. Make sure that the top end of the squeegee is slanting in the direction that you are tugging from. This will make sure that the water flows down the window. After some practice you will be on your way to perfect windows cleaning.
