• Window cleaning by hand is a delicate art as well
  as a necessary task for preserving the
  cleanliness and clarity of glass surfaces. In
  contrast to industrial or mechanical cleaning
  techniques, streak-free outcomes from hand
  washing need patience, dexterity, and the correct
  equipment. A number of phases are involved in the
  process, all of which add to the windows'
  ultimate transparency and brightness.

• To start with, it's important to have the
  appropriate tools. The essentials are a
  microfiber towel, a pail of water with a small
  amount of mild detergent mixed in, a squeegee,
  and a sponge or cloth. Professionals may also use
  a window scraper to get rid of tough paint or
  debris. The detergent should be strong enough to
  cut through oil and filth but mild enough not to
  break the window glass or frames.

• Preparing the window surface is the first step in
  the actual cleaning process. To get rid of any
  loose dust and grime, wipe down the window with a
  moist sponge or towel. By taking this initial
  step, you can make sure that the squeegee won't
  become clogged or harm the glass when using it.
  After the surface has been prepared, the entire
  window pane is cleaned using a sponge or cloth
  dipped in soapy water, being sure to cover all
  surfaces, especially the corners and edges where
  dirt frequently collects.

• The most important step is to use the squeegee. A
  streak-free finish can only be achieved with the
  use of this instrument. Pulling the squeegee
  across the glass in a smooth, even manner begins
  at the top corner of the window. To make sure
  that no soap or water is left behind, each stroke
  should slightly overlap the one before it. To
  avoid streaks, it's crucial to wipe the squeegee
  blade with a fresh towel after each pass to get
  rid of extra water and soap.

• Using a microfiber towel, any leftover water or
  soap residue is removed from the window sill and
  borders after squeegeeing. Because microfiber is
  so absorbent and leaves no lint behind, it's
  perfect for leaving a pristine finish. Minor
  defects can be fixed with a light polish using
  the microfiber towel, or a second pass with the
  squeegee may be required for windows that have
  persistent spots or streaks.
