From retail stores to residential homes, clean, sparkling windows can have a major impact on a property’s curb appeal. To ensure you make the right impression, take time to remove dust, streaks, and debris on a regular basis. Whether you need to clean your storefront windows or entryway glass at home, the following guide will explain how to complete the task efficiently and well.

Do:

Invest in professional tools.

Your dishcloth will likely leave behind some streaks or fuzz when window cleaning, while paper towels often leave traces of paper. Meanwhile, you can’t beat the professional-grade results a squeegee or microfiber cloth offers. Using a large squeegee will also help accelerate the cleaning process, but make sure that the rubber is in impeccable condition to avoid accidentally scratching the glass.

Clean when it’s cloudy.

Avoid cleaning your exterior windows on hot, sunny days, since they will dry faster and leave behind streaks. Cleaning on a cool, overcast day provides the ideal environment for pristine, streak-free windows.

Don’t:

Use a subpar cleaner. 

Select a high-quality product specifically designed for window cleaning. While some people recommend alternatives like vinegar or dishwashing liquid, professional products will make it easier to attain expert-caliber results. 

Neglect the windows’ other components.

In addition to the glass, you also must clean the window frames and panes. Ideally, clean these components before wiping down your windows, since you can transfer dust and dirt to the glass in the process. You may need to polish the frames with silicone or oil the channels to ensure a sparkling clean finish.
