Window Cleaning Techniques

Window washers far and wide use a variety of methods to get your windows cleaned.  The most common is called the drop-down method which is where the window washer pulls the squeegee from the very top to the very bottom and then wipes his squeegee clean and starts over.

Another common method is the left to right slide which is very much like the drop down method but the window washer pulls the squeegee from side to side.  The method that most professional window washers use is called the “s method” which will be discussed in a bit.

The drop-down method and the side-to-side methods are both window cleaning techniques that the typical start up window washer will use.  They both provide a modestly clean window but it leaves much to be desired.  For one, it is much slower than the “S method” and it leaves quite a bit of soap scum and water behind on the top of the frame, the side, in the middle of the pane and on the sill.

The S Method window cleaning technique takes a decent bit of time to learn, but it pays off in better results, quicker times, and happier customers.   Rather than re-invent the wheel and create a video that highlights the “s method” of window washing, I have found an excellent YouTube video by Christopher Lyman that shows how to wash windows using this method.

Any window washer, or home owner for that matter, that is interested in improving their window cleaning techniques should take a look and learn how to use this method.
