Clean and clear windows are preferred by building owners for their aesthetic appeal and the mental well-being of their occupants. A dusty, stained window could make the occupants lethargic.
Other than these clean windows offer integrity to glass structures and affect the physical well-being of the people who engage with them.
Cleaning glass windows is a tricky affair considering its vulnerability to stains and spots. For example, using hard water for cleaning will be counterproductive. The water will evaporate away leaving the minerals in the glass. This causes a cloudy or moldy look for the windows.
Moreover, the choice of the right cleaning tools is essential to effectively clean these glass windows. Ineffective tools might leave tough stains and dust unaffected. Usage of the right cleaning clothes along with these tools is also important. Paper towels result in the build-up of static electricity. This static charge attracts dust particles. Thus your efforts will be futile.
Here is an informative piece of work that further explores the relevance of the right tools for the safe and efficient cleaning of windows.
1. Efficient Cleaning for Time and Effort Saving
You can either go for an all-in-one type of tool or separate tools for window cleaning.
A study published in the International Journal of Innovation, Management, and Technology shows that the all-in-one type produces less satisfactory results because of the stains and traces it leaves behind. Hence it will be best to go for separate tools for effective cleaning.
In a tool kit for effective cleaning, you can include a window washing sleeve, glass scraper, and a telescopic water-fed pole with an attached professional window squeegee.
Microfibers will be effective for initial dusting. It is also preferred for washing sleeves. Because it absorbs more dirt than paper towels. As mentioned earlier paper towels might lead to intermittent dusting that wastes your time and effort.
2. Maintaining Window Longevity and Integrity
A complete cleaning with step by step approach can avoid stains and mold growth which hamper the visibility and integrity of windows in the long run.
• How to ensure the best results?
Using a microfiber cloth wipe the glass surface delicately. Apply glass-friendly solutions if stubborn stains are there. Then use washing sleeves to leave a smooth surface. Before using a professional window squeegee, you can use a glass scraper to remove any stubborn stains. A final touch with a squeegee will wipe the glass clean without any marks, spots, or soap. A telescopic water-fed pole will be a convenient solution considering the risks of using a ladder. Please ensure to cap the scraper after use for your safety. The squeegees used should be lightweight and ergonomic.
This is a foolproof solution to ensure the integrity of your glass window for the long term.
3. Long Term Cost Savings with Quality Tools
A professional window squeegee and other tools mentioned above don’t demand much expense. It is negligible compared to the amount spent on replacing glass windows. A stained window with bleak visibility will have to be replaced somehow. With little effort for proper cleaning practices, you can save such costs in the long term.
Quality professional tools are a must to avoid scratches and marks on the window. Please ensure that the squeegee blades are sharp enough to avoid streaks. It is advisable to replace a professional window squeegee after 15 hours of its usage.
