Cleaning windows is the most exhausting job ever. You clean them and the next thing you know the sun is shining through your windows showing each and every streak you have created. When I clean windows it basically means I move the dirt, grime, bugs and such around. I think I have done a good job. When I stand back to look at my clean windows I realize it is always better to call in the professionals. I have come to a conclusion that I wouldn't operate on a person because I am not a surgeon. I am not a window cleaner so I should not wash windows.
There is a technique that window washers use that I just can't master. I have tried Windex with paper towel, Windex with newspaper and a squeegee with soap and water. None of which have produced streak free windows. How is it that professionals are able to get windows so clean and streak free? Speaking with professional window cleaners I have found they follow some specific tips in cleaning windows making their clients windows crystal clear.
Follow these tips to try to recreate a professional window cleaning job. Or you can do what I do and call the professionals. I know now that I won't ever waste my time trying to clean windows myself ever again. Leave what you cannot do well to the professional. That is my new motto.
Tips from
Professional Window Cleaners:
Invest in quality materials. Measure your windows and use equipment specific for the size of your window. Smaller windows require a small squeegee and a large squeegee is needed for larger windows. It is also important to spend the extra money to get quality products. Quality materials will save time and aggravation during the window cleaning process.
Don't wash windows in the direct sunlight. The sunlight will cause it to dry before you're able to remove the cleaning solution causing those dreaded streaks.
If you use paper towel or newspaper to wipe up left over drip page and your squeegees make sure to keep the materials dry. If the paper towel becomes damp get a new one.
