Washing windows

Washing windows without stripes

If you also think dirty windows are annoying, then you’ll know that washing your windows without leaving any stripes are a serious challenge. Here you can discover the technique to get perfectly clean windows.
 

Required items:

  • Window squeegee
  • Sponge
  • Chamois cloth
  • Microfibre cloth
  • Bucket of water
  • Feem Active Cleaner
  • Possibly a dusting cloth

Technique:

  1. Make sure your window sill is completely empty and push the curtains aside. This makes your work much easier.
  2. Protect the floor by putting a mop or cloth underneath the window.
  3. Prepare some lukewarm, soapy water and add 15 ml of Feem Active cleaner to break surface tension. Put your bucket at a comfortable height so you don’t have to bend all the time.
  4. Don’t use too much Feem Active Cleaner because the residue will leave stripes on the windows.
  5. If your windows are really dirty, first use a dusting cloth to wipe away most of the dirt.
  6. Moisten the sponge in the soapy water and clean the windows from left to right, always working upwards. This will allow you to prevent leak stains.
  7. Take the window squeegee and dry all windows from top to bottom. Always make sure to cover a part of the last zone you wiped with the squeegee. Don’t stop in the middle of a window, because that will leave stains.
  8. Clean the rubber of the window squeegee each time with a moist chamois. A wet squeegee dries badly and leaves stripes.
  9. Clean the window frame and window sill.
  10. Rinse the microfibre cloth, sponge and chamois and hang them to dry.

Tip: Don’t clean your windows when the sun is shining on them. The windows will dry faster and more stripes will appear.
