How to Wet Windows for Window Washing

Washing windows becomes easier when you know the proper techniques. Proper techniques allow you to wash windows in less time with less physical effort. Use a drop cloth if you're afraid of a mess and follow these easy steps to wet windows for window washing.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Make sure you have a bucket filled with water and any soap or cleaning solution you're using. Check if your bucket is big enough for your window scrubber and squeegee to move in and out of easily.

2. Dip your window scrubber into the bucket and thoroughly wet it. Lift it out and wring it out just enough so you won't drip water all over the floor or ground as you move the scrubber to the window.

3. Wet your window from top to bottom or side to side using the window scrubber. Scrub extra in areas with spots or fingerprints. Use the technique that's fastest for you according to the size and shape of window you're washing.

4. Wash two windows at a time if they're side by side, such as a sliding glass door or sliding window. That way you'll only have to do one wash and one rinse.

5. Notice if the window is muddy looking. This may be caused by small bits of dirt smearing on the window. If this is the case, wet the window again.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't wash your windows in the direct sun or they may dry before you can finish, leaving streaks.
