Have you ever wondered how those professional window

washers move so fast with the squeegee, and the

windows turn out perfect? Well, there really are some

tricks to it that are simple to learn, and once you

do, dare I say it, you may even enjoy washing windows?

It is possible!

The first trick is to invest in a good squeegee. They

aren't expensive and they are worth every cent! Those

$1.99 ones just will not do. A professional squeegee

has a very soft, rubber blade with no imperfections in it.

You can also get extra rubber blades and simply replace

those when they wears out. There are probably many sources

to get one, but a source I like is The Clean

Team. http://www.TheCleanTeam.com.

Secondly, do your windows on a cool, or cloudy day.

If you have to do it in the sun, do it in the morning.

What you want to avoid here is heat. Heat works

against you.

Get a bucket of lukewarm water (not hot), and add 2-3

tablespoons of plain ammonia. Use a sponge that has a

white scrubber on the other side. Wet your window with

the sponge side, then flip to the white scrub pad side,

and scrub the window. You'll be able to "feel"

when it's clean. You'll feel rough patches, etc when

it's still not clean. This is a step most people fail

at, if the window simply isn't clean, it's going to

look cloudy when done. Scrub well.

You'll also need lots of clean, white cotton

rags towels/cleaning cloths. Diapers work great here.

Dry by hand a 1-inch strip at the top of the window.

The trick for no streaks with the squeegee is placing

the dry rubber blade on a dry window.

Take the squeegee now and place it at the top of the

window in that 1-inch dry strip. Pull down smoothly.

Dry your squeegee blade with between each sweep.

Finish window, if need be do one last sweep left to

right at the bottom of the window.

Take a dry, clean cloth and run with your finger down

each window side and across the bottom to clean and

dry the edges. They should look perfect! And you'll

feel great having clean windows.
