Window cleaning should start with dusting, followed by wiping with a suitable cleaning agent and immediately scraping off the water. Please note: never perform dangerous DIY operations at heights, ensure the window safety locks are engaged, and do not remove window frames or electrical components while cleaning.
Cleaning preparation and safety
When cleaning windows, safety is the primary consideration. If the job involves heights or cleaning the outside of windows, please be sure to seek a professional team; performing dangerous high-altitude work on your own is strictly prohibited.
- Cleaning agents: Choose according to the glass material and avoid strong chemicals that may corrode window frame coatings.
- Protective gear: If using cleaning agents, please wear gloves.
- Check the environment: Ensure there are no hidden wires or electrical accessories nearby that require power disconnection.
- Remove clutter from window ledges.
- Remove dust from the window frame with a dry cloth.
- Prepare a cleaning solution suitable for glass.
Steps for glass surface cleaning
Using proper steps can prevent water spots and make the glass clearer.
- Evenly spray the cleaning agent onto the glass surface.
- Gently wipe away stains with a lint-free cloth.
- Use a squeegee to remove water from top to bottom.
- Wipe the squeegee dry after every pass to prevent water marks.
When to stop DIY and seek an expert
If you encounter the following situations, please stop working on your own: the window is in a high position, the window mechanism is faulty, the glass is cracked, or there is severe rust in the frame that cannot be handled.
