Washing Window Tricks
Have you ever wondered how those professional window
washers move so fast with the squeegee, and the windows turn
out perfect? Well, there really are some tricks to it that
are simple to learn, and once you do, dare I say it, you may
even enjoy washing windows? It is possible!
The first trick is to invest in a good squeegee. They aren't
expensive and they are worth every cent! Those $1.99 ones
just will not do. A professional squeegee has a very soft,
rubber blade with no imperfections in it. You can also get
extra rubber blades and simply replace that when it wears
out. There are probably many sources to get one, but a
source I like is The Clean Team. http://www.TheCleanTeam.com
a basic, professional squeegee from them runs $9.95.
Secondly, do your windows on a cool, or cloudy day. If
you HAVE to do it in the sun, do it in the morning. What you
want to avoid here is heat. Heat works against you.
Get a bucket of lukewarm water (not hot), and add 2-3
tablespoons of plain ammonia. Use a sponge that has a white
scrubber on the other side (don't use the green ones, they
are too course). Wet your window with the sponge side, then
flip to the white scrub pad side, and scrub the window.
You'll be able to "feel" when it's clean. You'll
feel rough patches, etc when it's still not clean. This is a
step most people fail at, if the window simply isn't clean,
it's going to look cloudy when done. Scrub well.
You'll also need lots of clean, white cotton
rags/towels/cleaning cloths. Diapers work great here. Dry by
hand a 1 inch strip at the top of the window. The trick for
no streaks with the squeegee, is placing the dry rubber
blade on a dry window.
Take the squeegee now and place it at the top of the
window in that 1 inch dry strip. Pull down smoothly. Dry
your squeegee blade with between each sweep. Finish window,
if need be do one last sweep left to right at the bottom of
the window.
Take a dry, clean cloth and run with your finger down
each window side and across the bottom to clean and dry the
edges. They should look perfect! And you'll feel great
having clean windows.
