The Secret to Simple Window Cleaning

Easy Window Cleaning

There are many window cleaning products on the shelf of the supermarket, some with some quite strong and even toxic chemicals in them. So I thought I would share an industry secret on how we get the windows clean and shiny. 

​What you need:

  • ​Sunlight liquid dishwashing detergent (you can use other products, but this seems to work best)
  • ​Window fluffy cleaner - preferably with an abrasive pad on one side
  • ​Window Squeegee (you can buy a fluffy window cleaner with a squeegee on it)
  • ​a rectangular bucket that will fit your fluffy cleaner in it
  • warm water
  • ​two microfiber cloths



Put warm water in the bucket (deep enough to totally cover your squeegee when put dipped in), and a generous squirt of dish liquid. Wet your squeegee, squeeze out some of the excess water, give the window a good clean with the fluffy, going both vertically and horizontally - use the abrasive scourer to get of any stubborn marks. Squeegee the water of I find it best to go horizontal - in between each line of squeegee wipe the blade with the microfiber cloth to keep it dry, start the next line of squeegeeing (that really is a word) with the top of your squeegee about an inch in the dry and on a slight angle.


​When finished the window pane, wipe all edges with the damp microfiber and buff any marks with the dry one and presto a wonderfully clean and shiny window.

​Happy Window Cleaning!
