The best way to clean windows with a squeegee

To have success in cleaning of windows using a squeegee you must first acquire good a squeegee. Your squeegee must be kept fit with a sharp, newly acquired rubber blade.  In the washing process you must have a large bucket to accommodate the squeegee and washer.  In addition to a 12inch squeegee you will require a scrubber, a hand dish-washing liquid and a rag or an old piece of towel that is lent-free.

Depending on the position and the location of the windows you may require some additional equipment other that we have mentioned above.  A pole can also be required for certain windows but it can be limited for story buildings so a ladder can come in as a result of this.  A tool belt can be required in some case to support the side for easy accessibility of the rag and scrapper.
