Choose your equipment

For really dirty outside windows, it may be a good idea to spray them with a garden hose to start off with. This will get rid of some of the excess grime and the task will seem a little less daunting. If you have cleaned your windows recently, it may not be necessary to do this.

Once you have finished this part, you may want to consider what cleaning products to use. There are many on the market and it can be difficult to decide which is best. Vinegar is an excellent window cleaning agent, so it may be a good idea to choose a cleaning product that has vinegar in it, or alternatively, add some to the water. Some window cleaners have a spray attached and others need to be added to water. It is a matter of personal preference as to what you use.

Choose your washcloths

You will need a sponge to wash your windows with. It may be a good idea to have a couple of different sized sponges – a bigger one to wash the middle part and a small sponge to get right into the corners.

Once you have washed your windows, it is time to rinse them. A garden hose can be used to do the outside windows, or alternatively a wet cloth will do the trick. They can then be wiped over with a clean, dry cloth or perhaps some paper towels.
