Now you are ready to start cleaning your windows. First make sure that all inside furniture and obstacles are moved away from the windows. Atleast give yourself enough room to move in between windows safely.
When washing/cleaning windows I always try to start in one corner and move my way around the house in order left to right or right to left. This will help you keep track of where you are in case you need a break or get that unexpected phone call. Once you have your starting point , lay down a towel and put your window cleaning bucket on top of it. This will be your work station for this part of the house. Dip your wand/sponge into the window washing solution and get it wet and then ring it out well. Apply wand to window/glass and scrub gently for about 10 seconds.
The next step in window washing is to find the right squeegee. One that will work with the size of window you are cleaning.In this example we will need on that is similiar in size to the window /within reason. If it is a lrge window use a large size squeegee, if it is small use a smaller size squeegee and so-on.
Rather then using advanced window cleaning methods we will start with just a simple and easy way to wash your windows.
Apply the squeegee to the window on the very left edge at the top. Pull the squegee straight accross until you are at the opposite side of the window. Take your towel/rag and wipe the rubber squeegee blade. Move down to the next part of the window/glass and repeat. When you have cleaned the whole window ,use your rag with two fingers and wipe down the very edges of the window/glass. Wipe down the wind sill and ledge and move to the next window.
Follow this process throughout the home until all windows are completed. Once you have finished , go out and get your screens (which should be dry now) and put them back in place.
This concludes basic window washing for your home. For more ideas and advanced techniques please see other related posts.
