I've been cleaning windows for well over a year now. At first I cleaned friends, family and my own windows for practice. I used Youtube to learn and went out with a friend. Over the last year i've picked up my own technique. I'm interested to see how my technique differs from other peoples and if anyone has any tips or tricks that might help.
First cleans -
I clean all the frames with a flocked brush with 50 fan jets. I get any large bird strikes etc on the first go around. After this is done I just go around and clean the glass as I usually would.
Maintenance cleans -
I clean all the tops first. I clean the frame thank kink the hose to brush the excess water off the top off of the frame and then clean the glass. Top of the glass first getting into the corners, then the sides and the bottom and any middle that has been missed. Rinse slowly and kink the hose between windows. If i'm travelling around the house I shut off the water at the valve. Once the tops are done I go back and do the bottoms. If the house is small and water is still dripping from upstairs sills I give them a wipe with the brush (Flow turned off) before I start on the bottom windows. On the bottom windows I clean the frame and then wipe above each pane of glass with a cloth before I start cleaning the glass.
Conservatories -
As I head round the back of a property I normally clean the conservatory frame before I start on the upstairs windows. Once the upstairs are done I clean the conservatory the same as I would clean a downstairs window, cloth wiping above each pane etc.
