Windows are prone to accumulating dirt and grime over time, especially when they haven’t been washed in some time. Not only do dirty windows affect your view, but they also affect your home’s exterior appearance. Since we are now in the midst of the spring season, pollen is upon us and our homes’ windows! What better way to revive your windows’ shine than with an effective power wash? Keep reading to learn how to power wash your home’s windows properly!

 

Are There Risks For Power Washing Windows?

The simple answer is yes. Using the incorrect power wash setting and technique can crack your window’s glass, loosen window putty, and damage the frames. It’s essential to take precautions when power washing windows to ensure they stay intact and function correctly. Remember to use a low pressure and the correct nozzle to avoid future damage. 

 

The Preparation Process

Before the power washing process begins, ensure that your windows do not have any identifiable damage. Be on the lookout for cracks in the glass or frames and seal up any open gaps with window caulking. If your frames are old or outdated, consider different cleaning methods to prevent damage. 

 

Remove or cover up outdoor furniture that is in close vicinity to your windows, as well as outdoor potted plants. Use coverings to protect outdoor objects and decorations, and don’t forget to cover outdoor electrical outlets with electrical tape! Lastly, ensure that your windows are tightly sealed to avoid water damage from occurring inside.

 

Your Window Power Washing Guide

It’s finally time to begin the window power washing process! Follow the steps we have provided below!

 

• Set up your power washer: Add water to the tank as well as cleaning solution. Ensure your power washer is placed on a stable surface and the hose is securely connected. 
• Power wash away!: Distance yourself approximately 3-5 feet from the window and angle your sprayer 30 degrees. Start from the top of each window and work your way down to the bottom. Use a light setting while cleaning two windows at a time to avoid drying and leaving streaks behind. Don’t forget to use a back-and-forth motion as well!
• Rinse & dry: Rinse your windows using clean water from the rinse setting on the nozzle or from a garden hose. Once you have finished rinsing, use a microfiber mop to collect any remaining water and prevent streak marks. Finally, let your windows air-dry, and then use a glass cleaner to remove any remaining water spots.
