How To Wash Extremely Soiled Windows Outside?

To clean windows, apply a window-cleaning solution on the exterior side of the window or use a store-bought glass cleaner. Saturate the outside of the window with the cleaning solution and scrub the window using a soft-bristled scrubbing brush or sponge. Rinse with water to prevent the buildup of dirt, grime, and mineral deposits that can cause permanent damage over time. Spot-clean any particularly dirty areas with a soft-bristled scrubbing brush and water to remove stuck-on dirt that doesn’t come off by rinsing.

If using a power washer with a cleaning solution to clean outside windows, you still need to use a mop or telescoping. Start by assessing the condition of your windows and follow these steps:

1. Clean your window screens using five simple steps. Make a DIY cleaning solution with vinegar, using tools like a U-shaped extender brush, a mop, or a gliding cleaner. Mix one part white vinegar and four parts distilled water in a spray bottle, adding a small amount of liquid dish soap for extra dirty windows. Spray the solution all over the windows to prevent dirty water from dripping onto freshly-cleaned areas. Focus on spots with stubborn dirt and use a strong magnet to keep the outer surface clean.

2. Close all windows first, then thoroughly spray all of the window surfaces to remove the initial film of dirt. If the windows are quite dirty, use the same DIY window cleaning solution of water, vinegar, and dish soap. Use an iron handle scrub brush to scrub the windows. If the windows are particularly soiled, use a mixture of one part white distilled vinegar to one part water. Eliminate streaks by hoisting away excess dirt, and use a power washer for quick and impressive results.
