Wetting Windows for Cleaning

Video Transcript

DAVE BARKER: Back in Segment 5 or 6, I was showing you how to wet down a window. I'm going to wet down a window with the mop. We talked about the mop and I have actually wet down a window. This window is dry. I'm going to wet down a couple of windows. How many windows I can do at a time? A couple is good. You can do one at a time at first to practice on it, but I'm going to do two just to start off with. You want to wet down as many windows as you can before the weather conditions we talked about in the last segment will evaporate the window. And you always want to wet it down twice. If these windows are clean, I'll use the mop twice. You want to get every square inch of the window. You want to start--I've done the whole thing but I'm going to show you what I'm going to do this time. On the second one, I'll go around the outside edge, touching the very top, coming down the very side, touching that edge and the very bottom, coming across the edge. You can go back and forth to make sure you get that edge. If the windows are really dirty, you want to make sure you get this way. Now, I'm going up and down. And on this one, I'm going to use that doodlebug I've talked about in a couple of segments ago with the scrub pads because maybe the windows are really dirty. If you use that, use it the same way. You can use it--you can get it wet or use it dry then we'll get that wet again, and I'm going to scrub around the outside edge and make sure I get that really through it. I'm going to do the middle. Do the middle and you can go on circular motions if you want to, to get a really good scrub. If it really needs to be scrubbed, use a fairly clean window and I'll show you how to use some of the really dirty windows or hard water in another segment. And then after it's wet down, you want to do that at least twice. Make sure it's twice so it's done properly. And on the next segment, I'm going to show you how to squeegee the window off. All right? Thank you.
