Dunk your washer in the solution and scrub the
windows using short up-and-down strokes and/or side-to-side as needed. Leave a small gap at the top of the window, about one
quarter of an inch or so. This is done to avoid having any dripping from the top edge of the window after squeeging. You
are going to want to put enough water on the window so that it will squeegee easily in one continuous swipe, and you should have
enough on your washer so that the water doesn’t start to dry on the window before you can squeegee all of it off.
Many ‘old-timer’ window cleaners will say that new window washers use too much water. This used to
trip us up at first; we always did a great job and used a lot of water. So what! Don’t listen to them. Use
a comfortable amount of water to do a great job and be glad the cost is very little. The only exception is if you are
indoors and want to avoid extra water on the floors - then be more careful. The washing process in general will become
second nature as you become more experienced; perhaps by the end of your first long day of window cleaning!
