Window cleaning secrets or how to clean windows yourself

Window cleaning - is an important part of keeping your home clean and cosy. Often Kilkenny residents neglect window cleaning and leave it for later. It may seem like it is not important. In this article we will tell you how to properly clean windows in flats, country houses and shop windows and why it is as important a job as mopping the floor or vacuuming.

Window cleaning is an important procedure that is never forgotten by professional cleaners. Clean windows guarantee good light in the room and have a positive effect not only on your eyesight, but also on your mood. We surveyed the residents of Kilkenny and found out that window cleaning is not their favourite thing to do just once a year. Indeed, it is not always possible to clean windows that are on the outside of a building and the window is at a high altitude. Professional cleaners have special equipment for cleaning such windows. But in an ordinary flat or house you have only a rag or a squeegee. Window cleaning is not a complicated procedure, let's see what we need to do.

Preparing for the start of window cleaning

You need to clear the window sill and the space around the window of unnecessary items, remove flowers or toys, nothing should be in the way. Then remove the curtains or blinds, if possible. It is convenient to wash the blinds at once and you will get a double benefit. Now it's time to wipe the curtain rod clean of dust. There is usually a lot of dust here, especially if your window is often open. Today we wash our windows from the inside and therefore we don't need any special equipment. But if your window is higher than 1 metre you may need a ladder. It is advisable not to stand on the window sill. Apply a small amount of mild detergent, such as dishwashing detergent or special glass cleaner, to a soft cloth or sponge. Gently wipe the inside of the window, starting from the top and working your way down. Rinse the sponge or cloth with clean water and remove any detergent residue. You can also use special squeegees to clean windows without streaks, they allow you to quickly and qualitatively clean windows. We don't forget that the outside of the windows is still dirty, so we will get the final result after cleaning the outside of the windows.

What do I need to clean the outside of my windows?

First of all, make sure that your windows open fully inwards so that you have full access to the outside of the windows and frames. If the window is on a high floor, use a special long-handled brush or ask someone to help you. Apply detergent to a soft cloth or sponge and gently wipe the outside of the window, starting from the top and moving downwards. Rinse the sponge or cloth with clean water and remove any detergent residue. Use a special alcohol-based window cleaner that does not leave streaks. Spray the cleaner onto a soft cloth or sponge and apply evenly to the glass. Wipe the glass with a dry cloth or paper towel from top to bottom. Professional cleaners use special detergents that leave a thin invisible dust protection after drying, so the glass surface repels dirt and water. Windows can stay clean for longer than with a conventional alcohol-based cleaner. If you have difficulty accessing your windows from the outside, you should consider safety and call a professional company with specialised window cleaning equipment.

What to do after the window cleaning is complete?

Check that there are no streaks or detergent residues on the glass. If necessary, repeat the process from the beginning. Do not forget that you must also clean the frames together with the glass. Wipe the windows with a dry cloth and only then return the curtains, blinds and other items to their places. Now you see that washing windows yourself is not a complicated procedure. Therefore, it should be performed at least once a month. But if you are interested in full flat cleaning, you can order regular flat or house cleaning in Kilkenny and get window cleaning from inside because it is already included in this service.

Use a stepladder or ask for help from a professional company.
