Window cleaning techniques with a squeegee
Using a professional squeegee handle requires specific techniques to be followed to achieve suitable results. There are two methods for "pulling a window" as it is expressed in the jargon of window cleaners. These two methods are to be chosen according to your ease and dexterity.
French Method: Position the squeegee at the top right of the window, then lower it slowly while making sure to wipe off the water and dirt with a microfiber cloth. Dry the squeegee regularly with the same
microfiber cloth, which must be kept clean. For large surfaces, use several cloths.
American Method: This method, also called the "S method" , consists of passing the squeegee from top to bottom in sinuous movements. Although more technical, it allows for faster and more efficient cleaning. This is the method very often preferred by professional window cleaners because once the gesture is acquired, the
speed of execution is the fastest because there is no "repositioning" of the squeegee on the window. Here too, consider using a microfiber cloth to wipe the outline.
The most common width is 35 cm. This width represents a good compromise between ease of handling and speed of execution, which is of course linked to the width of the squeegee. The width of 45 cm is also often used but requires greater dexterity and practice, providing greater productivity.
