It can be a little harder to wash windows when the outdoor temperatures are low. However, there are instances where cleaning windows is necessary, especially if they are full of grime and starting to disrupt views.
Gather Your Supplies
Before starting, make sure all your supplies for removing snow and ice are on hand. A garden spade can be used to remove snow from the sill. Use warm water and not boiling water to melt ice from the windowpane. You can use a sea sponge to clean windows. It absorbs a lot of cleaning solution and can remove stubborn dirt and spots.
Be Careful When Climbing up a Ladder
Like replacement window installation, cleaning windows should be performed with caution during winter. If a ladder is necessary to wash the exterior of your windows, make sure that it’s secure and doesn’t have ice. To be safe, ask someone to hold the ladder for you as you work on your windows.
