How to Wash Windows Like a Pro: Do you know why professional window cleaners use microfiber pads and squeegees to clean their clients windows well neither do I but I’m sure there’s a very good reason for it now a long time ago I clean my windows using only vinegar and paper towels but truth be told it’s quite time-consuming using the spray and wipe procedure and more often than not I would get frustrated with the streaky results and reading the comments I know many of you are having the same issues there’s got to be a better way well there was a better way and that involves one of these this is a squeegee scrubber combination tool and these cost about bucks at your local big box when I bought mine over the weekend it was on sale or maybe mispriced for bucks so now the only other stuff you’re going to need aside from this is a bucket a microfiber cloth and some dish liquid so all you need to do is put a few drops of dish liquid into your bucket and fill it about halfway with warm water.
We’re going to use the microfiber scrubbing pad to wash the windows and then we’ll use the squeegee to wipe them clean and dry and a quick note if you find that your rubber squeegee tends to go on you you can always buy replacements dip the scrubbing pad into your mixture and apply it to the glass in an S pattern try to get into all of the corners next you’ll use the squeegee and start at the top wiping from one side to the other just like they do with the gas station then you can use a microfiber cloth to wipe the frames and corners clean just to catch any of that extra moisture now you can attach a pole to your squeegee tool to reach windows that would normally be out of reach just make sure that you buy a threaded squeegee and that you have a threaded extension pole you can also use this tool indoors just use less water on your scrubbing pad and maybe for good measure place a rag or cloth at the bottom of the window to protect your window sills if you have any tree sap dead bugs or other crusty bits on your window just use a scraper to get them off and that is pretty much.
