Your window cleaning equipment checklist: H​ere’s what you’ll need for cleaning windows in order to get a professional finish: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

A Large dry brush or broom handle for removing cobwebs and dust A bucket A sponge A squeegee Purpose made window cleaning solutions or vinegar Brown paper or newspaper Chamois or microfibre cloth Dry lint free cloth or drying pad

1. Remove any built up dust

Start by tying back or removing any ​curtains or blinds​ and use a dust pan brush or broom handle to brush around the window corners and window sill to eliminate any laying dust.

2. Start by washing your window with a sponge Washing up liquid in warm soapy water will work well but remember – the fewer suds the better. Be careful when using strong window cleaning solutions that they do not damage surrounding paintwork

3. Wipe off the excess water With a clean squeegee, starting at the top of the window and work your way down in a reverse-S pattern for maximum efficiency. Regularly wipe the squeegee blade clean with an old rag to avoid transferring the dirt around

4. Remove any remaining water Use damp, wrung-dry chamois or microfibre cloth to remove any remaining water from the glass. Finally dry the windowsill beneath where any water may have dripped down.

5. Wash windows on a cloudy day Although direct sunlight makes it easier to see the dirt, it also dries the windows too quickly, leaving streaks on the glass. Make sure you pick a cloudy day for your cleaning session (but if you’re doing the outside, beware of rain!)

6. Make your own cleaning solution A​dd
