PRODUCT INFORMATION
If you want that perfectly clear, streak-free shine on your windows, you need to start with the right gear and a solid plan. When professionals clean windows, they use one of two methods: a squeegee for a hands-on, perfect finish, or a pure-water system for high and hard-to-reach exterior glass. This guide focuses on mastering the squeegee, which is the essential skill for most residential and commercial window cleaning. It all begins with a quality squeegee, a plush washer for your cleaning solution, and a stack of clean microfiber towels for the finishing touches.
- The Squeegee: This is your MVP. Look for one with a sharp, high-quality rubber blade and a handle that feels comfortable in your hand. For most homes, squeegees between 10 to 14 inches are perfect.
- The Strip Washer (or Mop): You need a plush, absorbent applicator to spread the cleaning solution evenly and gently scrub away grime without scratching the glass.
- Microfiber Towels: These are non-negotiable for detailing work. You'll want a good supply to wipe your blade, dry the edges and sills, and buff out any tiny imperfections.
- Buckets: The pros use a two-bucket system—one for the soapy solution and one filled with clean rinse water. This simple step stops you from putting dirt right back onto the glass you just cleaned.
