Hire a Professional

Especially if you live in an apartment that is high up or have to get your office windows clean, your best bet is to hire a professional. This is because professional window cleaners have access to equipment that we would not invest in and they would do a better job than anyone else. Instead of staying indoors and cleaning the outside of your apartment’s windows with great risk, they can simply get on a platform and scrub it squeaky clean for you. You can find reliable window cleaners in your phonebook or hire them online using a website like Simpo Window Cleaning.

Invest in Good Equipment

If you are going to clean these windows yourself then you should get some good equipment. You could use a squeegee that squirts water on the windows as well, along with some absorbent cloth (newspapers work really well too), good amount of cleaning solution to get all the windows, try to make the solution as effective as possible and look for the types that can be used for removing stubborn stains or mineral deposits and the likes and towels and newspapers to cover the other places that could be stained easily.

Prepare Well

There are some preparations you need to do before starting the window cleaning process. These preparations include vacuuming the surrounding areas, vacuuming or washing the window screens and curtains and getting rid of stubborn stains by using remedies like vinegar or by scraping them off. Remember to cover the floor with newspapers before doing this so that the floor of your house does not get too dirty.

We need to make these preparations beforehand so we can avoid the newly cleaned windows getting dirty all over again with the dust and dirt from the surrounding places; this is because accumulating dirt in places like window screens for a long time make them a hub for bacteria and other disease-causing organisms which can prove to be harmful to the health of all the residents of the place.

Strokes and Scrubbing

When you finally get to the cleaning process, try your best to scrub and stroke in one direction using the squeegee or cloth or newspaper. This is to make sure the cleaning equipment does not leave any marks or scratches on the window’s surface. Try to use a lint-free cloth so as to not leave any lint residues behind on the window.

Dispensing the Dirt

When you are done cleaning the windows, crush the newspapers on the floor without letting any dirt fall and throw them in the bin. Take the cloth you used for the cleaning and throw that away too. Try to use a new cloth every time you clean your windows. However, all of this does take time, and if you don’t have time for it, you may hire professional window cleaning services to do it for you.
