What Do Window Pros Use to Clean Windows?

Most homeowners would choose to clean their windows with old newspapers or a damp cloth since this is what is immediately available to them. However, is it as effective and efficient as other cleaning solutions available on the market? In fact, this could do more harm than good due to the smears and marks left behind after they wipe their windows. With that said, it’s helpful to know the best equipment that you can use to clean your windows.

Here’s what window professionals use to clean windows.

Cotton Towels

Cotton towels are one of the most accessible window cleaning materials on the market, and they’re quite absorbent and affordable. These towels will perform well as long as they have been properly cleaned and dried several times before being reused. This is done to remove the lint residue and avoid them from sticking to the surface you’re cleaning. You can also use a larger towel as a drop cloth or a hand towel if you’re working on sensitive surfaces.

Chamois Towels

Chamois towels are also known as shammies. You can commonly see them in automotive stores since they’re commonly used in automotive detailing. These towels are used after cleaning cars since other cloths could scratch the surface of the car. In fact, experts on windows use them to clean windows due to their delicate nature since they can remove dirt without leaving residue behind, resulting in a smooth cleaning job.

Surgical Towels

Last, but not the least, surgical towels are the most popular option among professional window cleaners. This is because surgical towels are highly absorbent, portable, durable and lint-free. It’s no surprise that this towel has been the top choice among window contractors since it gets the job done without letting them worry about scratches or smudges.

"I'm getting ready to do my 2nd round of window installation with Anderson Windows. I really appreciate the great financing options that they offer! They have top notch sales and installation experts who are very kind and considerate of their customers' wishes. The windows I have installed look great and I am so excited to get the next group of windows put in. My house looks so much brighter with my new windows. I definitely recommend Renewal by Andersen of St. Louis."

"We recently contracted with Renewal by Andersen to replace 5 windows in our home. First of all, we were very delighted that the time from contract to installation was less than two months. Joel and Craig arrived precisely at the agreed-upon time and spent less than four hours from start to completion of installation, including time to demonstrate opening/closing the windows and any questions we had. We were very pleased with the knowledge and professionalism of Joel and Craig, and, of course, we’re very pleased with the windows and how nice they look. We definitely recommend Renewal by Andersen."

"I replaced my front door and several windows. The install team did a great job with installation and clean up. Even covered floors and stairs. The team was very courteous and did a very professional job. Now our windows look great and we love our new door. I would recommend Renewal by Anderson in a heartbeat."
