Cleaning windows can be daunting, especially if you have windows that are hard to reach. We know that the warmer weather encourages you to want to be out and about and light is streaming through your windows.
But, the extra rays of sunshine also show the dirt and smudges that have built up. Window cleaning is among the chores we neglect most and for the longest. It’s not because they are very hard to clean, it’s because they are often uncomfortable to do so. Ground floors are relatively easy to get done, but cleaning upstairs windows without a ladder can be a real pain in the neck (literally). How can you clean windows you can’t reach without the help of a ladder?
The Wolf-Garten Window Cleaning kit is perfect for cleaning without using chemicals and climbing up ladders for those hard to reach places.
What’s the Easiest Way to Clean High Windows without a Ladder?
Cleaning high or hard-to-reach windows can be a real effort and dangerous if ladders are involved, not to mention the damage they do to the facade. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be. The Wolf-Garten window cleaning kit lets you clean your windows without a ladder. The Wolf-Garten Cobweb Brush, Window Squeegee and Window Wiper are compatible with any Wolf-Garten Vario Handle that extends from 2.2m up to 4 metres. Lightweight and durable, the handle makes cleaning high windows easy. The durable aluminium shaft gives you the strength you need for those hard to reach jobs while being surprisingly lightweight.
How to Clean High Windows with the Wolf-Garten Window Cleaning Kit
Ready to clean those high windows you’ve been putting off? Follow these simple steps.
1. Dust down your windows and frames
Holding the handle of your Vario Handle, attach the Cobweb Broom. Set the pole at the correct height to comfortably reach the windows. Brush around the window to remove any cobwebs and excess dust. After cleaning all the windows, remove the cobweb from the handle.
2. Wet your fibre and your windows
To clean your windows, the Wolf-Garten Window Wiper requires water only. If you have a hose, spray water onto the window surfaces. The stream must not be too strong, as you risk damage to the surfaces. Or, you can fill a bucket of lukewarm water and dip the Wolf-Garten Window Wiper into the water.
3. Attach your Window Wiper to your Telescopic Handle
To reach those high windows you need the extra height. Attach the Wolf-Garten Window Wiper to the Wolf-Garten handle. Set the pole at the correct height to comfortably reach the windows.
4. Clean your high windows
Brush first the top part of the window, starting from the corner. This will prevent the dirt from running onto the clean surface. Work your way down, brushing the rest of the window. Brush until all the dirt has come off and if needed apply enough pressure. Soak the spot of dirt that didn’t come off well and move on to the next window. Go back in a few minutes and brush again.
5. Blade for a streak-free finish
Remove the Wolf-Garten Window Wiper from the Wolf-Garten handle and attach the Wolf-Garten Squeegee. Run the squeegee starting from the left corner. Pull over the pane in reverse “S” pattern until you reach the end of the window. Dry the blade after each window with a dry cloth. Leave to air dry and that’s it, your hard to reach windows are clean with a chemical-free, streak-free finish.
If you need to reach high windows at awkward angles, a twister attachment on the Wolf-Garten Window Wiper and Squeegee makes holding your Multi-Tool at 45-degree angles easy.
Window cleaning is most definitely not one of the favourite chores to do. Having the right tools and knowing how to get the job perfectly done, though, will make it a little bit less frustrating for you. What is very important when it comes to window cleaning is to always stay safe. Do not use tools or detergents that you’re not sure are good quality because you can end up with damaged windows, or even worse, you can harm yourself. Cleaning upstairs windows without a ladder can be tricky, but following these steps will make the process go smoother.
