How to Clean Windows.

Windows should be cleaned about twice a year, however if you live on the beach and get plenty of sea spray you will need to clean more often.

Very little equipment is needed for window washing. I like to use a window washer, a squeegee, lint free rag, a squirt of dishwashing liquid and a bucket with water.

Add a squirt of dishwashing liquid to your bucket of water, not too much as you do not want lots of suds. Soak the window washer in the water and run your hand over it to release some of the water back into the bucket.

Wipe the window washer over the windows, starting from the top left corner moving across and down the window. With the window washer move all the small particles to the bottom of the window as not to scratch the window when you squeegee. Ensure the window is wet enough before you squeegee.

Using the squeegee wipe the suds of the soapy pane in a reverse –S pattern. At the end of each stroke, wipe the squeegees blade with a lint free rag. (Cloth diapers are great for this)

Remove any water remaining on the edges of the glass with the rag. A good rag or chamois will not leave streaks.

Hot Tip: Windows at the beachside with sea salt should be washed with water only – no detergent.
