Step-by-Step Guide to Pressure Wash Your Windows

⇒ First, Prepare Yourself

First of all, prepare yourself and the area surrounding the windows. Start by gathering your supplies, such as a pressure washer, cleaning solutions, squeegees, etc.

Next, close all windows and doors to prevent water from getting inside your home, and move all furniture and plants away from the windows. Cover all the electrical outlets to prevent them from high-pressure water.

Lastly, wear protective gear like gloves, eye protection, closed-toe shoes, etc., to protect yourself.

Pro Tip: Not all windows can withstand pressure washing. Therefore, you must check the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions before pressure washing.

⇒ Choose The Correct Nozzle

An effective pressure washing of your windows depends upon the type of nozzle you choose, as it determines the pressure and spray pattern of the water. The wrong nozzle can damage your windows or make it difficult to clean them effectively. There are different types of pressure washing nozzles for different purposes. You have to choose the one with the least pressure.

⇒ Dust and Rinse With Clean Water

Not dusting windows before cleaning is one of the most common window mistakes. Dirt and debris accumulated on your window glass can cause streaks if not dusted thoroughly before rinsing. First dust the windows and then rinse with water to remove the excess dirt, dust, and grime.

⇒ Apply Cleaning Solution

For carrying out an effective pressure washing, it is important to choose the right cleaning solutions. You can use mild soap and water solution. It’s a good option for most windows.

Mix an adequate amount of mild soap with water and use a microfiber cloth to apply the cleaning solution to the windows. Cover all the areas and gently scrub the spots with stains.

⇒ Start Pressure Washing

Now that you have set all the things in line, it’s time to begin the pressure washing. Take a proper position, start from the top of the windows, and work your way down to prevent water from running down the windows and streaking them.

Begin with a low-pressure setting and increase the pressure gradually if required. Thoroughly rinse all the areas carefully and make sure dirt, grime, and soap residue are washed away.

⇒ Allow It To Dry Properly

Lastly, allow your windows to dry properly, as it can lead to steaks and hard water stains on the window glass. You can use a squeegee to remove the excess water from your windows. Once done, wipe the windows with a dry microfiber cloth.
