Window washing gives your customer's buildings that crystal clear image that can be seen inside and out. Before getting started, make sure you have the right equipment:

• Professional squeegee and applicator

• Window bucket

• Dish soap (yes, that's all you need)

• Microfiber cloths or chamois

1. Prepare your solution in the window bucket by adding a small amount of dish soap to cool water.

2. Dip applicator in bucket, wring out exess water, and then scrub the window.

3. Position squeegee in the upper left corner of the window. Let the squeegee glide down the glass quickly and smoothly.

4. Dry the squeegee rubber after each stroke.

5. To make the next pass, ensure the dry side of the squeegee overlaps the dry side of the window by about 1 or 2 inches. Continue that motion for the width of the window.

6. Use microfiber cloth or chamois to wipe the edges and frames.

7. Move on to the next window.
