Quick answers

What is the fastest way to get streak-free windows before company comes?

Wipe off loose dirt dry, wash with mild soapy water or vinegar and water, then pull it off right away with a squeegee or lint-free cloth. Renewal by Andersen says to avoid direct sunlight, because heat dries the glass too fast and causes smears.

What should I not use to clean windows?

Skip solvents, abrasive cleaners and razor blades, which Andersen says can scratch or damage the glass. Newspaper is also a poor choice on some frames, since Andersen notes the ink may discolor the surrounding material.

Is it safe to clean second-story windows from a ladder?

It can be, if the ladder is set correctly and you stay off the top rungs; OSHA says not to stand on the three top rungs of a straight or extension ladder. Many newer sashes tilt in so upper glass can be cleaned from inside instead.

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site

  • Interior and ground-level exterior glass washed and squeegeed streak-free, starting with the rooms guests will see
  • Screens rinsed and brushed, and sills and tracks vacuumed and wiped so windows open easily
  • Second-story glass reached with a properly set ladder or from inside on tilt-in sashes

How it works

  1. Walk the rooms and prioritize the glass guests will see first
  2. Dry-wipe loose dirt, wash with mild solution, squeegee or lint-free cloth dry, working out of direct sun where possible
  3. Clean screens, sills and tracks, then reinstall screens and lock the sashes
  4. Referred out: fogged or cracked insulated glass goes to a glazing company, and glass that can only be reached from a roof or lift goes to a commercial window service

When to stop and call

If the afternoon light is showing every streak and the house fills up tonight, hand it off. 24/7 Express Handyman Service can wash the glass guests will see first and work outward from there.
