Clean Windows Like a Professional Window Cleaner: A Guide for NDIS Participants

An elderly woman is cleaning a window from inside her home. She uses a cloth to wipe the glass, and there is a bottle of cleaning solution nearby. The window is open, and the sunlight reflects off the clean glass. The NDIS logo is visible in the corner, indicating support for services. This image highlights window cleaning services tailored for NDIS participants.

Keeping a clean home means paying attention to the finer details, and sparkling windows can truly brighten your space. However, achieving streak-free windows doesn’t require expensive products—what matters most is using the right technique. Here, we’ll walk you through an efficient way to clean your windows using simple tools, with a focus on helping NDIS participants maintain a spotless home.

Step 1: Gather Your Window Cleaning Supplies

To achieve streak-free windows, it's essential to have the right tools. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Sponge: Use a sponge to pre-clean windows with soapy water, removing dirt and dust. Avoid stiff brushes as they can scratch the glass.

  • Bucket: You’ll need a container large enough for water, detergent, and a squeegee.

  • Window Squeegee: This tool is a must-have for pros and homeowners alike. A rubber-bladed squeegee allows for even, streak-free results.

  • Microfibre Cloth: Perfect for a final wipe-down without leaving lint or fibres behind.

  • Window Cleaning Detergent: You can make your own using a mix of white vinegar and water (in a 1:1 ratio) for an effective, eco-friendly solution.

Step 2: Clean Your Windows – Step by Step

  1. Prepare Your Supplies: Get all your tools ready to streamline the cleaning process.

  2. Pre-Clean with Soapy Water: Mix dishwashing liquid with water until it foams. Use a sponge to thoroughly clean the windows, removing previous detergent residues.

  3. Scrape Away Sticky Residue: If necessary, use a scraper on wet glass to remove sticky tape or stubborn dirt.

  4. Apply Your Cleaning Solution: Use your homemade vinegar solution or a commercial product, wiping in a consistent direction.

  5. Remove Excess Water with a Squeegee: Wipe the squeegee from top to bottom or diagonally, keeping it clean between strokes.

  6. Buff the Window for a Shiny Finish: Use a dry, clean newspaper to polish the window and leave a brilliant shine.

The DOs and DON’Ts of Window Cleaning

DOs:

  • Wipe off excess water with a microfibre cloth.

  • Clean windows section by section to avoid leaving behind dried soap streaks.

  • Clean in the early morning or late afternoon to prevent the sun from drying the glass too quickly.

DON’Ts:

  • Don’t use a scraper unnecessarily—it’s only needed for stubborn marks.

  • Avoid drying glass with newspapers as they may leave ink and chemicals on the glass.

  • Don’t clean windows on hot, sunny days to avoid premature drying and smears.
