Have you ever marvelled at the crystal-clear windows of commercial buildings or wondered how professionals achieve such flawless results? Cleaning glass to a professional standard requires more than just a spray bottle and a rag—it involves specialised equipment, expert techniques, and the use of high-quality glass cleaner liquid.
Let's delve into the step-by-step process of how professionals clean glass:
-
Gather the Necessary Equipment:
Professional glass cleaning begins with having the right tools at hand. This includes a bucket, squeegee, mop or washer, scraper (for tough marks), cleaning solution, rags, and possibly a pole for reaching high windows. -
Prepare the Cleaning Solution:
Many professional window cleaners prefer using eco-friendly glass cleaner solutions like those available at SOVI & TYDI. These solutions effectively dissolve dirt and grime without leaving streaks or residues. Dilute the cleaner as per the manufacturer's instructions in a bucket of cold water. -
Apply the Cleaning Solution:
Using a mop or washer, apply the cleaning solution generously to the glass surface. Ensure thorough coverage, especially in areas with stubborn stains or marks. -
Address Stubborn Marks with a Scraper:
For tough marks such as paint or varnish, gently use a scraper with replaceable metal blades. Exercise caution to avoid scratching the glass surface. Always scrape in a forward direction to prevent dragging dirt across the glass. -
Use the Squeegee:
Hold the squeegee at a 45-degree angle and with consistent pressure, starting from the top left corner, draw the squeegee down the glass surface in a snake-like motion. Ensure to reach the edges to remove excess water and the cleaning solution. -
Wipe the Edges:
Even with expert squeegee technique, some water may accumulate around the edges of the glass. Use a microfiber cloth or a clean part of the rag to wipe away any remaining water marks and ensure a pristine finish. -
Clean the Window Frame and Sill:
Use a towel to wipe up any water spills on the window frame and sill. Avoid using the microfiber cloth along the bottom of the window frame to prevent rapid soiling. -
Check for Remaining Marks:
Inspect the glass surface for any remaining marks or stains. If necessary, reapply the cleaning solution and repeat the cleaning process until the desired results are achieved. -
Repeat the Process for Both Sides:
For windows with accessible interiors, repeat the cleaning process on the inside to ensure uniform cleanliness and clarity from both sides.
Achieving professional-quality results when cleaning glass requires attention to detail, the right tools, and the use of high-quality cleaning solutions. By following these steps and utilizing eco-friendly glass cleaner solutions, you can enjoy streak-free, sparkling windows that enhance the aesthetics of your home or commercial space.
