Your Guide to Clean Windows - Pure Gutters

I’m here to shed some light on the art of window cleaning. With these handy tips and tactics, you can make those windows gleam like never before, whether you’re a DIY-er or ‘I’d leave it to the expert’ kinda guy.

Do-it-Yourself Approach (Check related article here)

Gather all your supplies before you start:

Gather all your supplies before you start:
✅ Bucket
✅ Mild dish soap
✅ Vinegar
✅ Squeegee
✅ Microfiber cloth/ sponge
✅ Sturdy ladder (if you’re cleaning second-story windows)
 

Follow these steps

  1. Mix a solution of water and vinegar (equal parts) in your bucket.
  2. Add a few drops of mild dish soap to help cut through grease and grime.
  3. Damp your cloth/ sponge into the solution and scrub to your heart’s content (pay attention to any stubborn spots)
  4. Remove excess water and cleaner with a squeegee. Drag the squeegee horizontally across the glass in a smooth, overlapping motion, beginning at the upper corner of the window. To prevent streaks, wipe the blade with a dry cloth after each pass.
  5. Grab your sturdy ladder for those hard-to-reach areas or particularly dirty windows. Just keep in mind that safety should always come first. Never bend over or overextend yourself and have someone watch you from below at all times.

Professional Approach (Check related article here)

Let’s move into the professional option. If you’d rather leave the ladder-climbing and squeegee-wielding to the experts, there are plenty of professional window cleaning services out there ready to tackle the job for you. These pros have the experience, tools, and techniques to get your windows gleaming in no time, all while you sit back and relax.

Do your research before selecting a window cleaning service. Look out for companies with good track records, positive reviews and transparent pricing. (Check out Pure Gutters!) Don’t be afraid to ask for references or inquire about their cleaning methods and products used.

Once you’ve found the perfect pros for the job, schedule a time for them to work their magic. Enjoy a cup of tea (or coffee) and enjoy the view as your windows transform from dark and foggy to bright and clear.

Whether you opt for the hands-on DIY approach or enlist the help of professionals, the end result is the same: windows so clean you’ll swear they’re invisible. So go ahead, let that sunshine in and enjoy the beauty of your window.
