Why this guide was created
The Window Cleaning Guide is our way of sharing the knowledge and experience we have gained in window cleaning directly with you, for free. Why? Because we know how valuable it is for you if you’re a clean widow type of person.
I remember the first time I tried to clean the windows at home. I thought it would be a simple, straightforward task – just wipe them down and they'd be sparkling clean. But what I ended up with was streaks, water spots, and a hazy mess that only made things worse.
After all the time and effort, my windows still looked dirty, and I couldn't figure out what went wrong.
Frustrated, I decided to take the next step and hire a professional window cleaner. I was excited, thinking that someone with expertise would be able to deliver that pristine, streak-free finish. But much to my dismay, I couldn’t get anyone to answer my calls. The few who did were either too busy or didn’t return my messages. The ones that were available were charging a premium that seemed ridiculous for such a simple task.
That’s when I decided to learn how to clean windows the right way.
I researched, tested, and experimented with different techniques, tools, and products. Over time, I perfected the process and achieved professional-level results that I could be proud of. I realised that not only could I get my windows sparkling clean, but I could do it efficiently, without spending hours struggling with streaks and hazy glass.
That experience led to the creation of Foxwash Window Cleaning, my own window cleaning business. Since opening, we've been nearly fully booked, helping hundreds of people get the professional results they’ve been craving, without the hassle.
However, as I started to see how many people struggle with the same DIY window cleaning frustrations I faced, I wanted to do more.
I wanted to share everything I’ve learned with others – people who are tired of wasting time, money, and energy on cleaning their windows and still not getting the results they deserve.
