Home window cleaning “”remedies”" abound, but few go a long way. That’s partly because homeowners seldom purchase supplies that professional window cleaners use. Here’s what you’ll need: A soft broom and brush, three clean lintless cloths, an all-natural sponge, 2-gallon bucket, liquid dish detergent, window-quality wide squeegees (or 4-inch wide for French windows), a lengthy handle with pivoting head, finest grade (0000) steel wool, and old bath towels to guard your floors. Ready?
* Sweep and brush away all loose dust and cobwebs, particularly in corners.
* Wipe frames with damp cloth #1.
* Squirt a very tiny amount of detergent a single gallon of water inside the wide bucket. Avoid creating suds.
* Wash a window with all the natural sponge.
* With dry towel #2, dry about 2-3 inches quickly over the top and left edges from the glass (right edge in case you are left-handed.)
* Place the squeegee blade in a dry top corner with left (or right) result in dried edge strip.
* Quickly and firmly draw the squeegee lower the wet glass towards the bottom. Dry squeegee with towel.
* Place squeegee at top with right of left edge overlapping dried first area. Swipe down without losing contact and repeat with the width on the window.
* Dry bottom sill with dry cloth #3.
* Use dry steel wool to get rid of any remaining spots or marks.
* For paint or tape you need a wide single-edge razor in a handle. Keeping glass wet, work away from yourself. Never utilize a razor on the tempered glass of French panes or sliding doors.
* Always beginning from a dry top and another edge, another professional window cleaners’ method is a continual S-motion rather than the down swipe, never losing contact with the whole pane of wet glass.
