BLOG Window Cleaning with the Soft Wash Cleaning Method Aug 26, 2024

What do you think of when you think about cleaning your windows? A bottle of windex? Perhaps vinegar and water? Maybe some paper towels or a squeegee? All of the tools are good for spot cleaning glass mirrors, or to polish a glass stove top. But cleaning all the windows on your home or building? Hardly. 

Professional window cleaning that lasts is NOT done with small hand tools on the interior or the exterior windows. And while most glass products and chemicals focus on the glass itself, a complete window cleaning from a professional window cleaning company encompasses the glass, but also window frames, window sills, window tracks AND window glass. 

Professional window cleaners also see things that the home or business owner does not. For example, mold and mildew grow on the outside window frames, dulling the appearance and breaking down the industrial coating (the exterior paint) which would require an expensive paint job to make look new. 

Professional window cleaning with the soft wash cleaning method treats the exterior window frames, sills tracks and glass by using the right combination of chemicals with the right application. Biodegradable chemicals, applied evenly to the window structure complete, are worked into the frame with a soft brush and then is rinsed away with regular water rinse. 

This process emulsifies the organic growth and even strips away the oxidized layer of paint on the frames. This restores the look of the window frame and reveals the paint life that is left in the frame. 

There is also two more steps in the soft washing window cleaning process. One is an optional Final Wash product which is a hydrophobic wax on the outside glass and frames. This is applied and brushed in like the soft wash removal process, but in this the brushing is done to help ‘work in’ the product. The last step in every soft wash window cleaning is the pure water rinse. The very best way to clean and rinse windows is with water that is filtered thru a carbon filter, a reverse osmosis filter, another reverse osmosis filter and then a deionization filter and then out through the line and onto the glass. Cleaning windows with pure, clean water method is the hallmark of the superior window cleaning and soft washing company. 

Professional soft washing companies and professional window cleaning companies are often very similar in their comprehensive approach to window cleaning. The techniques and experience needed to take just about ANY old window to a super clean window are very valuable and worthwhile when investing in your home or business
