How to Avoid the Streaks when Cleaning Windows

Spring is in the air, well okay, I guess it seems like it is always spring in San Diego.  What can I say?

Being a San Diego window cleaning company sure has its perks.  But just because the weather is perfect and delightful, does not mean we don’t get dirty windows.

As a matter of fact, because of the beautiful weather, being San Diegans, we take it for granted and assume our windows can’t ever get dirty.  Not so.

Now before I get started, this isn’t just an article for Southern Californians.  These window cleaning tips are for any part of God’s green earth.

Ready for the tips?  Then let’s go.

So let’s address the overarching problem when cleaning windows.  And that problem is those ugly streaks.  Let’s say you woke up and felt great.  So great you wanted to take on the world.  So what is it you decide to take on?  Your windows.

But let’s slow down for a second there my friend.  Before you begin your attack on those dirty windows, and I’m not implying that you can’t.  Let’s figure out what needs to be done first.  You’ll see it won’t be that difficult.

Ready for the tips?  Here goes in quick fashion.

The first thing you need is the right tools for the job.  This isn’t going to be as simple as breaking out the windex and some paper towels and wiping down your glass table.  No, this will be glass that has been attacked by the elements, the weather, and even birds and insects and whatever else ran into your windows.

What exactly then will be the right tools for the job?  As I mentioned before windex and paper towels will not do the trick.  What you will need though, won’t be that intricate.  All you’ll need is a squeegee and a spray bottle, and then you can break out the paper towels.

Gather these simple tools.  Use them the right way, and watch your day of window cleaning go as smooth as possible.

Okay, so you have those 3 tools, now what?  Well you are missing one last ingredient.  You are going to need something for that spray bottle.  And what you may ask is this secret ingredient?  It comes in 2 parts.  Ready?  The secret sauce is a teaspoon of dish washing liquid and 2 gallons of water.  Simple, but that is all you will need.  You put all these things together and you will have streak free windows in no time.

One final thing I forgot to mention, and don’t hate me for this.  You are going to have to add a lot of elbow grease.

Remember when you were ready to take on the world and windows seemed like no big deal?  Well after the third window or so, you might find the elbow grease running on empty.

Well when you do, don’t forget where you got the advice.  Your wonderful local San Diego window washing company, who won’t mind adding some elbow grease.

Till next time, happy cleaning.
