4 things to consider when cleaning large windows

Homes with large windows and skylights strike an impressive view. They also fill the inside of a home or apartment with natural light. The turnaround is that large windows – especially those placed high in a building – can be tricky to clean and keep sparkling. A good option is to hire a professional home and window cleaning service at least twice a year. Here are some things to consider when cleaning large windows.

Use the right tools

It is recommended to utilize a strip applicator to wash windows and a squeegee to remove the solution and excess liquid. Get a telescoping pole and a ladder for large or tall windows. A water-fed pole can help you spray down an area, in case there is something–like bird droppings–that needs time to soak.

Use the right solutions

Some swear by good old soap and water. Some pros suggest mixing a little vinegar in a bucket of water. Our team, on the other hand, recommends using eco-friendly cleaning products that are not harsh on your belongings and health.

Protect your walls and floors

When you clean the insides of windows, make sure to cover the surrounding area with a drop cloth. Move furniture and decor out of the way to avoid damaging them. At Keep It Up we know that streak-free quality window cleaning is often a difficult task to do. That is why our team wears clean shoe covers and places absorbent cloth pads under the windows to protect floors and furniture.

Choose the right weather to wash

You might think sunny days are the best for cleaning windows, but although direct sunlight may make it easier to see the dirt on your windows it speeds up the drying time and causes streaks. Therefore, cloudy days are great to wash windows.

Large windows may challenge homeowners in ways that standard-sized windows might not. It’s important to always remain careful. If windows are high to reach it is best to leave the job in hands of a professional cleaning company that has the right tools. We provide the best quality care in every detail, contact us today!
