How to Clean Windows without streaks
4th June 2009 by Babies No CommentsWell the spring time is upon us, well okay, I must confess living in San Diego the weather seems like it is always spring. What can I say?
Being a San Diego window cleaning company sure has its perks. But perfect weather does not equal spotless and clear windows.
As a matter of fact, because of the beautiful weather, being San Diegans, we take it for granted and assume our windows can’t ever get dirty. Not so.
Now before we begin, let’s get one thing straight. The window cleaning tips I give you are not just for Southern Californians. No, these tips can be used and applied no matter where you find yourself here on earth.
So ready? Let’s begin.
So let’s address the overarching problem when cleaning windows. And that problem is those ugly streaks. Let’s say you woke up and felt great. So great you wanted to take on the world. So what is it you decide to take on? Your windows.
But let’s slow down for a second there my friend. Before you begin your attack on those dirty windows, and I’m not implying that you can’t. Let’s figure out what needs to be done first. You’ll see it won’t be that difficult.
Ready to get started? Here it is, nice and neat.
Now right off the bat, the first thing you will want and need is the right tools for the job. This isn’t going to be a quick spray and wipedown of your family room glass table. No, this will be glass that has months of dirt piled on, from the weather all the way to insects and birds making it dirty.
What exactly then will be the right tools for the job? As I mentioned before windex and paper towels will not do the trick. What you will need though, won’t be that intricate. All you’ll need is a squeegee and a spray bottle, and then you can break out the paper towels.
Gather these simple tools. Use them the right way, and watch your day of window cleaning go as smooth as possible.
Okay, so you have those 3 tools, now what? Well you are missing one last ingredient. You are going to need something for that spray bottle. And what you may ask is this secret ingredient? It comes in 2 parts. Ready? The secret sauce is a teaspoon of dish washing liquid and 2 gallons of water. Simple, but that is all you will need. You put all these things together and you will have streak free windows in no time.
Oh snap, one final ingredient I haven’t mentioned yet. And it is a biggie. The final ingredient is a lot of elbow grease.
Remember when you were ready to take on the world and windows seemed like no big deal? Well after the third window or so, you might find the elbow grease running on empty.
Well when you do, don’t forget where you got the advice. Your wonderful local San Diego window washing company, who won’t mind adding some elbow grease.
Till next time, happy cleaning.
