Tips for pro Window Cleaning Services

  • Clean on a Clear Day

If you want your windows to be perfectly clean, then co-ordinate with the weather. Sunny days are the best to perform window cleaning jobs, as a rainy day always ruins our cleaning schedules.

  • Before Using a Cleaner, Get Rid of the Dirt

Removing dirt, grime and dust is the first step of the window cleaning routine. This step avoids mixing of chemicals with the mess collected on the window surface. To remove dust, you can use a simple brush or a vacuum cleaner. In the case of soot accumulated on the surface, wash the window with warm water, brush it off gently, and then rinse it off.

  • Don’t Forget the Blinds and Curtains

We tend to neglect blinds and curtains during the window cleaning process. Change to fresh, clean curtains or wash your drapes to re-use them.

  • Which One to Use – Paper Towels or Cloths?

Paper towels are not designed for window cleaning purpose, and hence, they end up leaving a tint or shred instantly. Instead, switch to micro-fiber cloths as they absorb all the water and leave the glass windows shiny and tint-free.

  • Use the Squeegee Wisely

Squeegee is a useful cleaning tool for big windows, but not recommended for small glass panes.

  • Do not Stress Out, Go Slow

You do not have to clean all the windows in one go. You can clean the windows from the inside like a pro. However, if your windows are full of grime and dust from the outside, you can delegate the job to a window cleaning professional and be stress-free.

So, it is now easy to clean windows with a perfect finish in the least possible time.
