So there you have the inside knowledge on how to get a perfect finish to your windows.

Now do the same on both sides to all the windows you want clean.That's it! Your windows will look fantastic! If there are any other marks, such as little insect marks or grubby finger marks that didn't quite come off, give it a rub with a clean part of the micro-fibre cloth, or start again with the mop.Hint - I generally don't use micro-fiber cloths to wipe along the bottom of the window frame because this is going to dirty it very quickly.

Use the towel to wipe up any water spilt onto the window sill and the floor.

I go through one or two per house, but beginners will normally need a few more. You can just put it in the washing machine when it's too wet or dirty. This is great for getting rid of those water marks anywhere on the glass. Even the pros normally have to do this! That's where the micro-fibre cloth comes in.

It is nearly impossible to do a window without having to wipe the edges.

With a little practise, you will be able to manage this with no water marks left in the middle of the window. Start at the top left corner and snake you way down the window.

Now you are ready to clean the water off the glass with the squeegee.

Too light and you wont collect all the water, too hard and it will be difficult to move it around.Try to keep a constant pressure the whole time. You can really only work this out with experience. We also need to have the right amount of pressure on the glass. Try to maintain that angle for the next step. You want the angle in between those two - about 45 degrees. To work this out, say the angle when the handle is touching the glass is 0 degrees, and the angle when lifting it off the glass is 90 degrees (with the rubber still on the glass). When you place it on the glass, you want to have it at the correct angle. Hold the handle of the squeegee in your right hand with your thumb half way between the top and side. don't scrape backwards - this could drag the dirt, cement etc across the glass causing scratches. If you need to use the scrapper, make sure to only pass the blade in the forward direction, i.e. This is the time to scrape any stubborn marks off with the scrapper. Give it a good rub to make sure all the dirt is lifted. Rub the wet mop (that has detergent on it) onto the window. Put a few squirts of detergent into the water, or as I prefer, apply the detergent directly onto the wet mop. Hot water will make the water evaporate too quickly.

Fill the bucket to about half or a bit less with cold water.

It is a great place to easily stash you mop and squeegee, saving them from dripping all over the place, and also giving you two free hands while walking up the ladder, on the roof etc. It is a small bucket that hangs down one leg off a belt around the waist. This is really just for the professionals. This supports a side bucket and is a good place to easily access your scrapper and rags. I find a three step step-ladder is very useful, and the extension ladder that reaches about 2.5 storeys high - not advised for anyone not confident being at heights. 2 storeys is about the limit for squeegees on a pole (even that is pretty tricky!). I also use a 4 section pole that extends to 3 storeys high - though it is nearly impossible to clean accurately at that length. This can be very handy for certain windows - but you need to know how to use it. I usually carry a towel and a micro-fibre cloth. This could just be an old towel (old is best as the lint and fluff would have worn away). In fact, suds help to show up dirtier areas that need more scrubbing because the pattern of the bubbles separate more around greasy marks and other dirt. They help hold the water on the glass longer, and also make it easier to see any water marks that need wiping off. The suds are important to lubricate the rubber as it passes over the glass, making it a lot easier to turn the squeegee. The biggest problem with this is that it doesn't sud up. Some people recommend vinegar in warm water. I've tried a lot of them, and seem to always come back to Palmolive (soft on the hands and does a great job). At the cleaning supplies shop you can spend a lot of money on all kinds of window cleaning detergents.

'Morning Fresh' and 'Palmolive' are probably the most popular detergents. I hate to be the one that lets the cat out of the bag since there are a lot of window cleaners who jealously guard their secret formula, but I don't see any point in not telling. Take care using scrapers on glass! If you don't know the correct methods, you could cause permanent damage! Check point 2 in 'How to do it' below.
