Let there be light—through windows that are spotless on the inside and out. Boost your curb appeal and make your home’s first impression a sparkling one with these tricks of the trade and DIY hacks.
The Right Tools
Professional window cleaners make the job look quick and effortless—because they use the right tools. You’ll want a good quality squeegee; a 10- to 16-inch professional quality stainless steel one is best. The size depends on the size of the windows you’ll be cleaning. You may also need an extension pole, depending on the height of your windows.Rags are great for cleaning around the house, but for windows, use microfiber cloths, which hold cleaning solution better and grab more dirt. And let’s not forget a window bucket (or spray bottle for smaller jobs), a safety scraper for hard-to-clean dirt, stains, and sticker residue, and a chalkboard eraser to wipe away any final streaks.
