That’s what I have always used and I’ve been doing windows for many many years I say about maybe 2025 years and I’m still doing it and it’s just Dawn dish so don’t use any thing like that Windex don’t ever use it and don’t ever put your rag on the glass. If you look down from the glass and look up at it, you will see streaks.

This really motivated me to clean my dirty windows. No more blue stuff and paper towels. Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@jhelotes5627]

Additional tips: Don't use warm or hot water...you don't want the water evaporating before applying the squeegee. Angle the blade so that the water falls into the adjacent area to be cleaned. Clean squeegee blade frequently. Use the ends of the cloth applicator to get into dirty corners. Try not to stir up the dirt that may settle onto the bottom of your bucket of water and change the water as soon as it appears dirty. Clean, absorbent cotton rags work better than micro-fiber rags. Change rags frequently to avoid redepositing dirt onto glass. Make sure squeegee blade is not dull...they wear out like a knife. Use a lot of dish soap, like 1-2 oz. Less soap will make cutting pollution, cigarette smoke, etc. more difficult. Add a few drops of dishwashing Rinse Aid to the soapy water...greatly improves sheeting action and further reduces streaks. DO NOT go over the window with a rag or paper towel after using squeegee. Only clean the edges from top to bottom and sides, making sure rags are clean and dry. Paper towel, newspaper, etc should not be used. Clean rags in washing machine, but never add fabric softener or use softener sheets which leave a residue on glass and mirrors. Never clean in direct sunlight. You make have to work faster in drier climates to avoid rapid evaporation of your cleaning water. Dirtier windows may need two or three cleanings, with focus on the edges.

[@Chiroman527]

You can also add some (1/4 or 1/3 cup ) of White Vinegar to the bucket in this process. I sometimes use the Windex with adding White Vinegar to the Bottle. Never clean windows in the Sun!!

Appreciate your technique. For the outside I spray a cool window with water, then spray with dollar store CLR, light scrub with a Teflon safe Blue Scotchbrite pad to remove years of hard water, the window is ready when it feels smooth through the pad (30 seconds), rinse. You don't even need to dry the window to avoid streaks. If you want the window really posh, walk back after cleaning the next window and wipe it down. (the same pad and CLR cleans the screen without getting bits stuck in the screen) For inside I have never needed more than a damp with water only microfiber cloth and a dry one to follow with. (if it's really nasty I add a third, damp & sopy microfiber as step one)

Certainly. Some people will mix up their bucket of solution, then fill a spray bottle from that. Go around, clean a few windows then come back to the bucket to freshen up the T bar scrubber.

Use a lot of dish soap (1-2 oz in a bucket) and a few drops of surfactant, like Rinse Aid for your dishwasher. Change water frequently and make sure it is room temp, not warm, nor hot. The soap will cut the dirt and grease, the squeegee will push the cleaning water off the glass. Only clean up the wet edges, finding a clean spot on your cotton rags.

Streaks are simply a sign that you left some water/dirt solution on the glass. That water and dirt mixture dries and becomes quite visible as light passes through it.

If you’re still having issues, I’d recommend you watch my Top 10 Reason You’re still getting streak video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hairipRvorGfers I don’t recommend the vac window cleaning system, it’s more of a gimmick from what I can tell. Not needed. There’s a reason professional window cleaners continue to use the scrubber and squeegee method, day in and day out. ;-)

[@TheDancefreak35]

@@WCSkills If you have rinsed your windows well, there should be no dirt left. The stains you see come from the lime in the water. The squeegee is only used to work quickly. It contributes nothing to cleaning. If there is still dirty water on the window and you go over it with that rubber, you simply spread the dirt. If you use vinegar water after rinsing, it will dry streak-free because there is no longer any lime in the water. I know those "professional" window cleaners. Until the sun shines on your glass. If I can get it really streak-free then I apparently know more about it than the '' professional ''. Professional means: as many windows as possible in the shortest possible time. Quantity over quality. Cleaning is science. - pre-rinse (soak) -degrease -rinse -clean with vinegar water (water without lime) -No more going over with a rubber that you didn't need in the first place anyway.

@@TashaStill-om3ni good question. Many think you need to apply a lot of pressure but it’s the opposite.

Excellent. A clear (no pun intended!) instructional lesson. Thank you

[@em0_tion]

Intend it, it's a good pun! 👌😂

thanks

I switched to this method after watching the cliff hanger window cleaner guys clean the windows at my office building. Minus the cliff hanging part.

[@WCSkills]

Haha good stuff!

[@dianeschenkelberg8270]

I've always hated the blue stuff. I'll use the spray foam cleaner for small jobs (front of microwave, bathroom mirror). For medium jobs (a single window or two), I'll use e-cloths. For whole-house Spring cleaning, I use the method shown.

Hello! Loved your video but can you snapshot the exact tools you used in the video. I am trying to figure out which ones you used on your website. Thank you!

[@WCSkills]

Hello Joanne, for a home owner or even someone starting a small window cleaning business, I’d recommend the Ettore residential kit www.thewindowcleaningstore.com/collections/window-cleaning-supplies/products/ettore-pro-residential-kit

[@WCSkills]

If you just want a good squeegee and scrubber and don’t need anything else, I’d suggest an Unger squeegee www.thewindowcleaningstore.com/collections/window-cleaning-supplies/products/unger-ergotec-complete-squeegees and a pulex t bar scrubber www.thewindowcleaningstore.com/collections/window-cleaning-supplies/products/pulex-technolite-t-bar-scrubber-complete-with-microtiger-sleeve

[@liandajane3207]

is it best to use warm or cold water

[@WCSkills]

Cold water out if the tap is fine most of the time. If the windows have staining like from tobacco smoke, then warm water helps. Keep in mind, the warmer the water, the faster the evaporation on the glass before you can properly squeegee it.

I install solariums and have a ton of windows to clean at the end of the install. What would you use to clean dried silicone off the glass. The manufacturers of the windows get it all over the glass. Thanks

[@WCSkills]

Magic eraser works good. Some say using them dry works even better.

[@sw5334]

@@WCSkills excellent. I haven’t tried that before. Thanks.

[@AS-kq4pp]

Thanks for this! Love simple cleaning situations and yes the "blue stuff" never works well at all...really appreciate this video!

[@WCSkills]

Glad you liked the video and found it helpful. 😊

[@sandymorrison1400]

A trick I learned was to NOT wash windows when the sun is shining on them. Goes for mirrors too - turn off the bright vanity lights and let the mirror cool for a few minutes before cleaning.

[@WCSkills]

You are correct.

[@wfdix1]

LED lighting will help with this.

[@_sk_videos]

What’s the ratio for the solution you use? A couple of squirts to half a bucket is quite vague. 10ml to 5L ?

[@WCSkills]

Squeeze the bottle for the length of time it takes you to say the word “squirt”. So in about three gallons of water about two squirts then gently mix. Of course it’ll vary depending on brand of dish soap. If you find the glass does foam up a bit while scrubbing the glass, then just add a touch more. Foaming up too much, just cut back a bit next time.

🎉paper towels have a resido! Also looks clean until sunshine shines and looks terrible

[@GwenHall-c6l]

Where can I buy the T scrubber and squeegee? Any particular brand that lasts?

[@WCSkills]

Many choices of professional quality squeegees here: www.thewindowcleaningstore.com/collections/window-cleaning-supplies/squeegee-complete and several t bar scrubbers here: www.thewindowcleaningstore.com/collections/window-cleaning-supplies/t-bar-scrubbers-complete

I will forever remember this video. You sir, have my respect 🫡

[@seaknightvirchow8131]

This is timely. I just cleaned some door lights with windex and paper towels. Next day I see horrible streaks in the afternoon sunlight. I need to get a squeegee.

[@WCSkills]

Yes, you'll do much better with a squeegee.
