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.

"The installation crew was very professional and answered what questions I had. And they cleaned up when they were finished. We're very pleased with our windows & patio doors. Highly recommend Renewl by Anderson."

"Very pleased with installation of six windows and a ProVia entry door. I love the look of the windows and door. I am pleased that my wife is thrilled with the look of the door. She is very pleased that the bronze color fits in well with the color of the brick."

"I just had my Renewal by Andersen windows installed and couldn’t be happier, the entire process went very smoothly. The windows are high quality and look great. But the installers Roy, Zack and Jordan were the stars, they introduced themselves upon arrival walked me thru everything they were going to do and when they finished took me to each window to make sure I was completely satisfied. They were clean and courteous and I would definitely recommend and have them work in my home again."

"Wonderful experience with knowledgeable, competent employees. We had Andersen windows in a previous house & didn’t even consider anything else this time. After replacing our patio door almost two years ago, we replaced all our windows this year. What a difference over builder-grade windows, especially in the really cold temperatures we’ve had this year. Andersen windows may be a little more expensive than other brands, but they are top quality."
