How to Build a Window Cleaning Round
A window cleaning round is a great way to get your windows looking like new without the hassle of having someone else clean them for you. It’s also a safer alternative to climbing on ladders or using any other devices that can cause injury. A window cleaning round will cost less than hiring someone and it will be faster than trying to scrub away dirt with water and soap.
One reason they are so effective is that they have two buckets-one for dirty water, one for clean water-which saves time by not having to change between buckets constantly. To make sure your windows stay as clean as possible, use microfiber cloths instead of paper towels which may leave behind streaks!
This tutorial teaches how to build a window cleaning round in order to help you clean your windows quickly and efficiently.
1) Gather a bucket, squeegee, microfiber cloths, and the appropriate solutions for your windows.
Wipe the top of the bucket with a damp microfiber cloth to make sure it’s free from debris, then fill it one-third of the way with water and two-thirds of the way with white vinegar. If you’re using anything other than white vinegar as your solution, be sure to mention that in your article.
2) Take one of your microfiber cloths and wet it down.
Squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible until no more drips come off. You want it just damp enough that you can wring out most of the liquid after you squeeze. This will help prevent spotting or streaking on your windows.
3) Fill the second bucket with plain water to rinse off the squeegee after you’re done cleaning each window.
Don’t reuse vinegar solution because it will leave behind a residue that can streak and cause spotting.
4) Squeegee runs.
Take the squeegee and run it down one of your windows from top to bottom, then flip it around and do the same thing with the backside of the blade (the dull side). This is important because you don’t want any streaks on your window when you use a trickle bar, which we’ll talk about in step five.
5) Place a trickle bar inside one of your buckets and wet both sides with water until they start dripping.
Wipe each side of the bar across your microfiber cloth until it forms a light lather. Then wipe the bar over one half of your window from top to bottom, flip the bar and do the same thing to the other half of your window. This is another important step because you want all dirt that gets lifted off your windows to go into one bucket instead of trapping some in a towel or on a squeegee.
6) Next comes using a squeegee with two blades.
Keep one blade wet while you use the other dry blade so they don’t actually touch each other once they get dirty enough. This will help reduce the streaking, too. After your squeegee has removed most of the water, take a squeegee with two blades – one wet and one dry – and run it down the window in the same direction as you did when you used a trickle bar. Flip around to use the clean blade on the other half of your window.
7) Once all that’s done, flip over your microfiber cloths so they’re dirty side up.
Wipe them all across both sides of your windows to pick up any small dirt particles that are still on there. If you’d like, repeat this whole process for more shine!
