Is your home or office lacking luster? It might be your windows. Neglected windows can accumulate dust, rainwater residue, and other debris, impacting your space's overall appeal. Fear not – maintaining spotless windows isn't as daunting as it seems. Professional commercial cleaners share their secrets:

  1. Choose Overcast Weather: Cleaning windows under a blazing sun may lead to sticky streaks. Opt for overcast or cloudy days to ensure your cleaning solutions don't dry up too quickly, allowing ample time for thorough cleaning without the worry of streaks. Bonus: reduced glare makes it easier to spot missed spots.

  2. Double Up on Scrubbers: For optimal results, invest in two sets of scrubbers, especially if your windows are exposed to external dirt. Dedicate one set for the outside to prevent bringing contaminants indoors. Consider a long-handled scrubber for tall or wide windows.

  3. Dust First, Scrub Later: Streamline the window-washing process by removing dust beforehand. This reduces the spread of dirt, and pre-dusting helps prevent larger debris from scratching the glass during washing.

  4. Combat Hard Water Spots with White Vinegar: A 1:1 water and white vinegar solution effectively eliminates hard water spots and oily residues from previous cleaning attempts. Say goodbye to stubborn stains.

  5. Top to Bottom Cleaning: Embrace the gravity principle by starting at the top and working your way down. This ensures the cleaning product flows to the areas you'll scrub later, preventing drips onto cleaned sections.

  6. Master the Squeegee: Finish with a squeegee for a streak-free shine. Practice these steps:

    • Align the squeegee flat against the window pane.
    • Beginners: start from top corners, move down, then go horizontally, overlapping slightly.
    • Advanced technique: "fanning" to prevent soapy water splatter.
    • Wipe the squeegee after each stroke.
    • Use a microfiber cloth to remove suds from edges and corners.
    • Final wipe-down with a fresh microfiber cloth to catch any streaks.
  7. Safety First: Equip yourself with safety gear, especially for windows 1.8 to 2 meters above the ground. Safety glasses, hard hats, and protective jackets are essential. For heights exceeding 2 meters, consider calling in professionals to ensure safety.
