Troubleshooting window cleaning technology

If you want to give your windows a crystal-clear and flawless look, you must spend the right amount of time and effort to perfect your window cleaning skills. As you try to improve your skills, you may encounter problems that you don't know how to overcome. Here are some helpful troubleshooting tips to help you solve problems you might encounter while cleaning windows.

Question 1: Arrival

If you need to stretch your limbs and body to reach certain parts of the window, you will be overstressed and you will not be able to properly control the window cleaning tool.

Solution:

Be sure to check your reach before starting to clean the windows. Place yourself in front of the window and swing the blade over the top and side edges without actually touching the glass. If you can comfortably reach the farthest corner of the window, you can start cleaning. On the other hand, you cannot reach certain parts of the window, you must use a ladder or an extension pole. You may also have to clean a small part at a time.

Question 2: Water Trail

When you use a spatula to remove water and cleaning solution from the window, you may find that the tip of the blade leaves water. There are many reasons for this.

Solution: If the end of the rubber blade is found to be bent upwards, the brass end clamp must be moved outward. Make sure the rubber blade is straight and straight on the channel. If you notice too much water on the top of the rubber blade, wipe the blade with a towel. If you find that the squeegee is pumping water from the edge of the window, wipe all edges with a towel before starting to squeeze again.

Question 3: Waterline

The water line appears when you pull the scraper through the window.

Solution: If the rubber blade is damaged or worn, you can flip it over or replace it with a new rubber blade. If there is dust or debris under the rubber scraper, wipe it off with a towel. Water pipes can happen because the windows are not wet enough and the scraper does not remove all dirt. In this case, use as much water as possible to flush as much dirt as possible.

Question 4: Scraper line

A squeegee line is usually found in the middle of the channel, the length of which is similar to the length of the squeegee blade. This happens when the scraper is temporarily stopped in the middle of the passage.

Solution: Let the scraper continue through the channel. Don't start scraping in the middle of the window.

Question 5: Chatter Marks

Your scraper may tremble or bounce as it passes.

Solution: A worn rubber blade can cause jitter, and you can work the blade again smoothly by replacing the new blade. If the glass is too dry, it will also chatter. If this is the reason, wet the glass with more water again. When you move the scraper through the window, you may move too high in the upper part that has been squeezed. Keep the scraper within 3 inches of the dry part of the window to prevent chattering.

Question 6: Wide stripes

When the blade is pulled, wide stripes appear on the channel.

Solution: If there are wide streaks due to excessive pressure on the blade, loosen the handle and gently pull the blade through the window. If a part of the window is already serviced before you scratch it, you will also get wide stripes. In this case, you should apply more cleaning fluid and water to the window. A worn squeegee also produces wide stripes. Replace with a new rubber blade.
