Are you thinking about cleaning your windows yourself but have some questions about the process? Here's a comprehensive FAQ that will answer all your queries about DIY window cleaning.

1. What do I need to clean my windows?

You will need a few basic supplies to clean your windows, including:

• A bucket of warm water

• A scrub brush or sponge

• A squeegee blade

• Window cleaning solution (or a mixture of water and vinegar)

2. How do I clean my windows?

Here's a step-by-step guide to cleaning your windows:

1. Fill a bucket with warm water and add a cleaning solution of your choice.

2. Dip your scrub brush or sponge into the solution and use it to wash the window, starting from the top and working your way down.

3. Use your squeegee to remove the cleaning solution from the window, starting from the top and pulling downwards.

4. Wipe the squeegee blade clean with a rag after each pass to prevent streaks.

5. Repeat the process for each window.

3. Can I clean my windows on a sunny day?

It's not recommended to clean your windows on a sunny day as the heat from the sun can cause the cleaning solution to evaporate too quickly, leaving streaks on the windows. It's best to clean your windows on a cloudy day or in the shade.

4. How often should I clean my windows?

It's recommended to clean your windows at least every six months. However, the frequency of cleaning depends on the weather conditions and location of your windows. If your windows are in an area with heavy rain and pollution, you may need to clean them more frequently.

5. Is it better to clean the inside or outside of my windows first?

It doesn't matter whether you clean the inside or outside of your windows first. What's important is that you clean both sides thoroughly.

6. What should I do if I have hard water stains on my windows?

Hard water stains can be removed by using a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water. Apply the mixture to the stains and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Then, use a scrub brush or sponge to remove the stains and rinse the window with clean water.

7. What should I do if I have paint on my windows?

If you have paint on your windows, you can use a scraper or razor blade to carefully remove it. Wet the window with soap and water before putting the blade to the glass, and be sure to move slowly and steadily to prevent scratching the glass.
