40 Traditional Window Cleaning Tips

1. Always wipe the window sills.

2. Avoid using ladders wherever possible.

3. Be careful not to use too much soap in the solution.

4. Employ both hands as you work.

5. Slightly miss the top frame as you apply the solution to avoid water runs.

6. Avoid using too much water unless the windows are very dirty or it is very hot.

7. Use less water inside.

8. When cleaning windows inside, collect drips with your mop by keeping it horizontal underneath your squeegee action.

9. Carry a spray bottle and spray the solution onto the mop instead of using a bucket for inside domestic work.

10. Ask customers to clear ornaments and obstructions for you before going inside, in the meantime do the outsides.

11. On hot days mop and squeegee simultaneously.

12. On windy days work in the same direction as the wind to avoid spray landing on clean windows.

13. Use a good quality detergent. It’s worth trying out solutions designed specifically for window cleaning.

14. Make use of microfibre cloths, especially for leaded windows.

15. Use a long rectangular bucket that accommodates the length of the applicator.

16. Use a bucket with a lid on it to avoid water splashing out whilst driving about.

17. Carry a selection of channel sizes or squeegees for various window types.

18. Use a detachable plastic holster (BOAB) to carry your squeegee blade, mop and small razor.

19. Carry a small sharp razor blade for bird muck and sticky tape remnants etc.

20. Remove egg by soaking the area, leaving it a minute and then use a very sharp 4 inch razor blade.

21. Use a locking cone on your extension pole so that tools are securely fitted.

22. Finish with the squeegee blade horizontally at the bottom edge of the window frame rather than vertically against the side of the frame.

23. Don’t use a good rubber blade to run over window sills. You will ruin it.

24. Use a cheap plastic squeegee to remove excess water from window sills and then use a damp cloth to dry them off.

25. Avoid getting your dry cloth wet by using it only for minor detailing.

26. Minimize detailing by dog-earing your channels.

27. Minimize detailing by very slightly missing the frames as you mop the window.

28. Change rubber blades frequently. Every week if necessary.

29. Cut rubber blades with a sharp razor or rubber cutter rather than using scissors.

30. Make sure the rubber blade protrudes a few millimeters from the channel and is not shorter than the channel.

31. Tap the squeegee blade on the window to remove excess water. It’s quicker than wiping it.

32. Wipe your blade with your fingers if there are trailing lines on the window. There could be hair or dirt on the blade.

33. Experiment with different types of rubber blade and find one suits your preference.

34. Hold hand tools such as the mop and blade loosely with the thumb pointing upwards. This will give your wrist free movement.

35. The rubber blade should run sharp on the window. To ensure this don’t press on too hard or the rubber will bend and create a dull edge.

36. Avoid Georgian windows and old original style leaded windows.

37. For dirty Georgian windows use a small mop and blade. If the windows are fairly clean dab a small amount of solution on each pane and use a micro-fibre cloth to polish them up.

38. On dirty leaded windows use an old rubber blade, clean as normal and then polish up with a dry micro-fibre cloth.

39. Dispose of dirty cleaning solutions responsibly by dumping them at the curb side and wrapping dull scraper blades in cardboard to prevent others from accidental cuts.

40. Clean higher windows first working your way from top to bottom.

Enjoy a brighter view!
