after thoroughly rinsing and ringing out the cloth or by using a second cloth.

3. To buff up the windows

use a thoroughly rung out scrim or dry cloth.

use specialist PVCU cleaner.

Directions: Using squeegee and cloth T-bar applicator

1. For a professional finish on larger areas

like patio doors, a squeegee and a T-bar cloth applicator give the best results.

2. Soak the clean T-bar cloth applicator in the bucket

Make sure that you ring it out by running your hand across the applicator.

3. Soap up the window from top to bottom

Do this using left to right movements.

4. Clean the rubber blade of the squeegee

Do this using a clean cloth.

5. Firmly press the squeegee against the window

Starting from the top left hand corner of the window, push the soap to the right hand side using left to right movements.

6. Repeat this movement for the entire window

7. If you still have soap on the glass

use the scrim, leather or synthetic cloth to remove.

8. With a bit of practice this will get easier

Remember to change the rubber blade of the squeegee regularly.

9. Wipe down the windowsills

and clean up any spillages with the large cloth.
