Homeowners often find washing windows as a very tough task to do. Most people think that resorting to commercial cleaners will do the job, but they are not aware of how much it can cost them. Not to mention that commercial window cleaners may contain toxic and corrosive chemicals that are unsafe for humans and pets.
Here are some window cleaning secrets you can use, and keep in mind that having sparkly clean windows does not always have to be expensive. First, if you want to have clean windows, you must be prepared with the right tools. The minimum requirements are a bucket, sponges, rags, a squeegee if available, and your window cleaning solution in a spray bottle.
If you have heard of commercial brands like Ajax and Windex, they are great for surfaces that have mineral stains on them. You can also create your own homemade cleaning solution from household ingredients, and it can work just as well as commercial cleaners. Try mixing a half a cup of white vinegar, a half a cup of ammonia, and a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid in a gallon of water. Spray or sponge this on your window, and scrub on tough mineral stains. Afterwards, rinse with clean water and buff dry. If you don't want sudsy solutions, you may omit the dishwashing or liquid detergent in the mixture.
Ever noticed how some molds and mildew can grow on your window sill? This often happens when the part of the window is exposed to rain and moisture. You can get rid of these growths by using a baking soda and water mixture. Simply create a paste with baking soda and rub onto the moldy surface. You can then rinse this off with water and some ammonia.
As you can see, cleaning windows and making them sparkle doesn't require you to buy expensive chemicals. You also don't have to hire professional window cleaners, when you already know you can do the job. Find out about other window washing solutions from numerous sources online. You'll never know when you can find a homemade solution that works perfectly for you.

Window Cleaning Tip #2
If your window washing company is fairly well established and your finances are up to it, purchasing a water fed pole and de-ionized water set up can drastically improve your profits by allowing you to complete large jobs faster and with excellent quality. Be aware though that they are rather expensive, so if you do not have enough clientele to keep your WFP in use, then you are better off waiting until you are bigger to buy one. |
Window Cleaning Tip #3
Do not buy cheap equipment! Window cleaning is not a very equipment intensive business and the equipment you do need is very affordable. So don't waste your money buying cheap squeegees and other equipment. Invest in top quality equipment and it will last for years with only a minor amount of basic maintenance. |
