The benefits of renting an apartment or home include flexibility, less maintenance work, and no property tax concerns. Maintaining the appearance and cleanliness of one’s living area is a struggle for renters. Particularly windows are susceptible to dirt and grime buildup, which detracts from the appearance of your house and blocks your view of the outdoors.

Collect The Right Gear 

Make sure you have all the gear you’ll need before beginning the window cleaning process. A bucket, a squeegee bought from a dedicated cleaning or window cleaning store, lint-free cloths and window cleaning solution. Note, most window cleaners use cold water and a detergent like morning fresh. A ladder or step ladder may be needed.

Pick The Right Time And Weather

Select a gloomy day or an hour when the sun won’t be directly overhead. Cleaning windows under the hot sun is difficult and streaks can easily be left. The hot sun quickly drys the cleaning liquid making it difficult to squeegee dry.

Clean The Window Frame And Sill First.  

Vacuum and dust off the window sill and frame first, then vacuum or wipe away any loose dirt or debris from the glass surface before using the cleaning solution. This step makes sure that when you start cleaning, there won’t be any hard to remove dirt marks.

Window Clean From Top To Bottom. 

Begin by washing your windows from top to bottom. This will prevent you from having to redo any places that you have previously finished cleaning by allowing you to catch any drips or streaks as you go.

Use A Squeegee For A Streak-Free Finish

After applying the cleaning solution, use the squeegee continuously to remove any remaining solution. To avoid stains, wipe the blade with a clean towel in between strokes. Also make sure the rubber is well maintained. Cuts or rounded edges make it very hard to avoid streaks. 

Pay Special Attention To The Window Tracks And Screens

Don’t forget to clean the window tracks and screens as well. After cleaning the tracks with a brush or a vacuum, apply the cleaning solution to a towel and wipe away any remaining dirt and debris. Before reinstalling screens, carefully wash them with soapy water, give them a thorough rinse, and let them dry.

Dry With Lint Free Cloths

After cleaning, rub away any remaining moisture or streaks with dry lint free cloths to ensure a spotless view from both inside and outside. Lint free cloths are also used to dry the edges of windows.

Maintain Regular Cleaning

Make cleaning the windows a consistent component of your cleaning routine.. Regular window cleaning will stop dirt and grime from accumulating and shorten the time it takes to clean.

Safety First 

Don’t take unwarranted chances if you reside in an apartment with hard-to-reach windows. To properly manage such difficult-to-reach spots, engage the services of a reputable window cleaning company.

With the help of these renter-friendly window cleaning suggestions, you can make the most of your rental property, let natural light flow in, and create a welcoming atmosphere. Clean windows not only improve your living space but also leave a good first impression on visitors and landlords.
