  1. To ensure the best results when cleaning your windows, you should use a power washer. A power washer will remove dirt and debris very quickly, so you won’t have to spend any more time than necessary on this chore! If you choose to clean your windows the wrong way, this could damage or crack the glass. EZ Flow is one of the top rated companies for power washing & window cleaning Cary NC. If you don’t have the right equipment and training, washing the outside areas of your home can be time consuming and you can even damage your property. EZ Flow can save you the time and hassle, without breaking your bank. To safely clean your windows, read through these step-by-step instructions.

  2. Inspect the Windows When pressure washing your windows, inspect them for signs of damage and problems. For example, check the window putty to make sure it's in good condition. Also check the caulking around the window frame and along the siding, and pay attention to any weather stripping issues. You need a good, tight seal to keep water from penetrating inside your home. Make any necessary repairs well in advance of cleaning your windows.

  3. Prepare the Pressure Washer Set up the power washer by connecting it to a source of water. Before you start it or turn it on, set the nozzle to its widest pattern or screw on a 40- or 65-degree nozzle. Forty-degree power washer nozzles are white, and 65-degree ones are black. Adjust the pressure to a value between 1,500 and 2,000 psi, and test the spray on a basement or garage window. Spray obliquely—never perpendicular to the window.

  4. Add the Detergent When washing wood-frame windows, fill the soap reservoir of your power washer with a detergent recommended by the manufacturer. The detergent must be safe for the material of your window frame. If your power washer doesn't have a soap dispenser, consider washing them quickly using a suitable cleaning solution and a sponge applicator and rinsing with the power washer.

  5. Spray the windows at a 40- to 60-degree angle When washing windows, stand slightly off to the side and allow the pressure from your power washer's stream to lessen before you start washing. When you’re done with one window, walk to the next one to keep cleaning. 1. Use caution around wooden window trimmings, as pressure washers can damage or chip the wood. 2. It’s important to do this step quickly—since you’re spraying soap and water onto the windows, letting the mixture dry can lead to streaking. 3. Try to start early in the morning, especially during the summer. That way, you can beat the sun, and your soap and water mixture won’t dry before you can rinse it.

  6. Stand at least 3 to 5 ft away from the windows Standing too close can damage your windows. When you first start out, back up until you’re at least 10 ft (3.0 m) away from your windows. If you need to, you can walk a little closer, but stay at least 3 to 5 ft (0.91 to 1.52 m) away the entire time you’re washing your windows. - The closer you are to your windows, the stronger the spray is. A super strong spray has the potential to crack glass.

  7. Use a turbo nozzle to reach the second story It’s too dangerous to take a pressure washer onto a ladder. When washing windows from a ladder, use a pressurized water tool called a turbo nozzle to cover the second-story windows in soapy water. It sends the water out in a spiral, which can make it reach further than normal nozzles. Pressure washers have a little bit of kickback, so it's dangerous to use them on a ladder.

  8. Rinse the windows off with plain water Rinsing your windows off well will help prevent any streaks. After cleaning off the soap scum, rinse the windows with a regular garden hose or your pressure washer. Using the same wide nozzle on your pressure washer, set the pressure on its lowest setting. If using your regular garden hose, fill it up with clean water and rinse with that to get any soap off. Be sure to empty the water tank and rinse it out before filling it up again. Once you have rinsed off the windows, let them dry in the sun.

  9. Your home is probably your biggest investment, so you should keep it clean and maintained throughout the year. If you don’t have the right equipment and training, washing the outside areas of your home can be time consuming and you can even damage your property.
