Cleaning windows from the outside can be a challenging task, especially if you live on a high floor or have large picture windows.
But there are a few tips that will help you deal with it quickly and easily.
Choose the right time
It is best to wash windows on a cloudy day or when the glass is not exposed to direct sunlight. This will prevent the cleaning solution from drying out quickly and leaving streaks.
Prepare equipment and cleaning supplies
You will need a sponge, microfiber cloths, a rubber squeegee, a bucket, and a spray bottle. You can use water and vinegar, dishwashing liquid, or a special glass cleaner as a cleaning solution. If you can’t reach the top of the window, use a brush with a telescopic handle or a magnetic brush.
Free your windows from dirt and stains
First, use a garden hose with a spray nozzle to remove sand, dirt, and other deposits from your windows. Then, remove stickers, tape, paint, and other sticky messes with a shovel or knife. Vinegar or a special cleaner can be used to clean dried stains and mineral deposits.
Apply the solution to the glass
Wet a sponge or cloth with the cleaning solution and wipe the glass, distributing the liquid evenly over the entire surface. If you are using a magnetic brush, apply the solution to both parts and apply it to the glass.
Remove excess solution
Take a rubber scraper and remove the liquid with S-shaped movements from the edges to the center, moving from top to bottom. After each pass, wipe the scraper with a cloth so that it does not leave marks on the glass. If you are using a magnetic brush, move it along the glass so that it does not come off the magnetic pair.
Polish the glass
Wipe the glass with a microfiber cloth to give it a shine and remove any remaining streaks. You can also use paper towels or newspapers. Don't forget to wipe the frames and window sills from dust and dirt.
Now you know how to wash windows from the street without any extra effort.
A simple and effective method is to choose the right time, prepare the necessary equipment and cleaning products, clean the windows from dirt and stains, apply the solution to the glass, remove excess solution and polish the glass.
By following these steps, you can achieve a brilliant result and enjoy clean windows.
