Your home has a lot thrown at it during the winter months; mud, dust, dirt, accidental splashes, the list goes on. With the days getting longer and lighter, now is the perfect time to spend a few hours to refresh your home from top to bottom. To help you with your spring cleaning we have put together some handy tips to help you with your window cleaning tasks if you don’t have a regular window cleaner.
Preparing for Window Cleaning
Before diving into the cleaning process, preparation is key. Start by gathering the right tools: assuming you don’t have access to Pure Water Window Cleaning tools, you will need a squeegee, microfiber cloth, and a bucket. These essentials will help you achieve an optimal cleaning result. Next, choose an ammonia-free, professional-grade cleaning solution that effectively cuts through dirt and grime. If you want to avoid mineral spots, consider using distilled water in your cleaning solution or contact us to collect a free ½ litre sample of pure water. [email protected]
Additionally, and before you start, take a moment to remove any external elements from your windows, such as dirt, dust, cobwebs, and debris. A debris-free surface will give you the best chance of achieving streak-free results.
EXTRA TIP: Don’t wash your window cleaning towels with fabric softener, because it will leave streaks when you clean your windows next time.
Safety Considerations
Cleaning windows, especially on upper floors, can present safety challenges. Never attempt to clean high windows without proper safety equipment or use equipment that allows you to clean the windows from the safety of the ground. These precautions can prevent serious accidents.
Cleaning Conservatories
Tackling the conservatory or orangery can take an entire day, so make sure you’re well prepared for a cleaning blitz. It’s a good idea to clean the outside of the conservatory first, so when you get to the interior, you’ll have a lovely clear view and know the stains you are seeing are not on the exterior of the glass.
Firstly, when cleaning the outside of the conservatory start with the frames. Use your sponge and bucket with warm soapy water to remove dirt and grime which has accumulated. To clean the glass, use the same method as cleaning the windows – however you may need a telescopic brush and window wiper.
To clean the inside, just follow the same window cleaning method, making sure to remove blinds, curtains and furniture.
The last step is to sit down and admire your work!
