Buy the proper equipment
Window cleaning can easily become much more rigorous than intented without the proper equiptment. Here is what we recommend to get your windows as clean as possible with the least amount of effort.
Mop
The picture above is what we, window cleaners, call a mop. Specifically the Ettore pro grip microfiber mop. This tool is used to hold your solution and water that will then be applied to the window. A simple household solution can be a few drops of dish soap added to a bucket of water.
Squeegee
This is a squeegee, no fancy terminology for this guy. It is used to rid the window of any solution and water. This squeegee is an Unger ergotec ninja. It is great for beginner window cleaners, but has many features of more advanced window cleaning tools. Not only are you able to change the rubber, but you can adjust the handle angle.
Abrasive
There is no link needed for this item. You can find steel wool pads at any local convinece or groccery store. These work wonders for getting those tough stains off the glass. DO NOT use on windows with any kind of tint or film. Simply apply your solution and scrub the window lightly. Steel wool pads are good to use for around one day. After a day these pads start to rust, and can damage or scratch the windows you are working on.
Follow the process
If you follow these steps correctly, you can make your windows shine from the inside, while we clean from the outside.
Mix water and dish soap in a large bucket. You want the water to be suddsy, don't be shy with the soap.
Dip the mop in the bucket, and apply the solution to the window.
Scrub the window with the steel wool pad. Make sure to get the corneres because often these are the dirtiest areas.
Squeegee off all of the soapy solution, pulling from the top of the window down to the bottom. Make sure to wipe the water off of the squeegee after every pull.
Wipe any excess water off the frames and sills of the window.
These five steps should guide you to crystal clear views, and with a budget friendly approach of less than $80.
