The Foolproof Guide To Cleaning Outside Windows
Some homeowners worry that they’re up to the job of sustaining clean external windows and panic that neglecting them will spoil their home’s appearance.
Their fears can be based on how high their windows are, how stained they get, or unfamiliarity with how cleaning outside windows is best achieved.
Well, let Mid Wales allay any fears with our incisive overview on how to clean windows outside to great effect so that they always look the part and add relentless beauty to your home.
Window Cleaning Prep & Safety Advice
See what the weather is doing before you start. In an ideal world you want a day that’s mild and overcast as then you’re less likely to be left with streaks on the windows.
When you get the necessary conditions, the tools you’ll need are as follows: a squeegee, microfibre cloth, bucket, and appropriate cleaning solution.
Unsure how to clean windows outside that are hard to get to? A ladder and extension pole will get the job done, but you mustn’t find yourself overreaching and need the ladders on a stable surface.
The Art to Scrubbing, Rinsing, and Drying
Begin the process with the removal of debris from the window surfaces and shift dirt using a hose. Grime will usually shift if you scrub the windows with a sponge or brush doused in soapy water.
Work the sponge or brush in a circular motion for a thorough result, ahead of then rinsing down the windows with clean water to wash any leftover soap away.
Dry the windows off so that no water spots or streaks appear with a squeegee or microfibre cloth.
Safe Use of Ladders vs Not Using Any
If you need a ladder to reach windows located very high up, ensure they are on stable ground and sufficiently angled. In no circumstances should you overreach and we urge you to maintain three contact points.
Take the safest option of all and employ use of a water-fed pole so that you can clean from the ground, or get hold of a specialised cleaning system that incorporates an extendable brush or water jet.
There will be minimal risk involved in cleaning those hard-to-reach windows if you follow these procedures closely.
