outside window cleaning hacks

Pick a cool, overcast day, because full sun bakes streaks faster than you can mutter “smear”.

Mix warm water, a splash of dish soap and a cup of white vinegar; wash top-to-bottom with a sponge, then squeegee, and finish the edges with microfibre.

For mineral spots or bird gifts, use a bi-carb soda paste, wait a minute, then rinse—easy does it, not a pressure-washer audition.

Pop out the screens and hose them, and use an extension pole instead of playing daredevil on a ladder.

Skip newspaper (modern inks smear), buff dry with clean microfibre, and enjoy the “I can see the neighbours pretending not to stare” clarity.

If it all goes pear-shaped, book a pro via ServiceCentral and claim you were “testing the squeegee”.
