The water/soap ratio for cleaning windows



The recommended water and soap ratio for cleaning windows is :

Answer : 1 gallon of distilled water with 1/2 teaspoon of concentrated dawn dish soap.

Recommendation : Drop 1/2 teaspoon of concentrated dawn dish soap into an empty container, And then pour the distilled water aiming at the soap to ensure proper mixing.



Using distilled water and dawn dish soap platinum




The purpose of using distilled water is :

Answer : to achieve the best quality appearance the windows can have

Answer : to prevent chances of streaks



The purpose of using dawn dish soap platinum concentrated is :





Answer : Using concentrated dish soap allows a smaller dose, to aid in gliding and cleaning.

Answer : Concentrated dish soap is high quality and has a longer life span.

Answer : creates more foam and bubbles .



Understanding why you should use distilled water


The reason why you should use distilled water is :

Answer : Distilled water has no impurities.

Answer: Distilled water is stripped of all chemicals.

Answer : Distilled water Affects the windows appearance in a positive way.

Answer: Distilled water is crystal clear and transparant.


Understanding the difference between dawn dish soap platinum vs regular


The differences between dawn dish soap concentrated vs regular is :


Concentrated dish soap :

Answer : Using concentrated dish soap allows a smaller dose, to aid in gliding and cleaning.

Answer : Concentrated dish soap is high quality and has a longer life span.

Answer : creates more foam and bubbles .



Regular dish soap :

Answer : Regular soap requires more of a dose, to aid in gliding and cleaning.

Answer : Regular soap is low quality, and has a shorter life span.

Answer : Creates less foam and bubbles.



Understanding the ability of soap





Understanding the ability of soap is :


Answer : To clean.

Answer : To prevent friction on glass.

Answer : To aid in glide.

In Conclusion : without friction, the ability of soap is to allow the squeegee rubber to glide freely. prevents the squeegee from grabbing the glass, and cleans.



Understanding what role Distilled water plays




The the role of distilled water is :

Answer : To cause friction.

Answer : Allows the squeegee rubber to grab glass, and enables the rubber to collect as much water off the glass possible.



Understanding the 2 types of streaks, and how they are formed

Understanding streaks


Forms of streaks is :


Answer : A water streak.

Answer : A soap streak.


Understanding water streaks



A water streak, is a higher ratio of water compared to soap in the solution.

A water streak is :

Answer :a lack of pressure , with the squeegee rubber making contact with the glass.

Answer : improper handling of the handle

Answer : The ends of the channel overlap the window seals.

Answer : accidental strikes of the window frames with the channel ends.

Answer : The ability of evaporation.

Answer : Friction keeps lock on contact with the glass to prevent water/soap from escaping from under the squeegee rubber.

Answer : Water provides consistent friction.

Answer : Water is one of the types of streaks.

Answer : Friction determines how much dry glass will be left behind.

Answer: Water determines how fast it flow out from the channel.

In Conclusion : Applying a certain amount of pressure, is key to allow water streaks to evaporate. and to collect as much water as possible. Handling the squeegee the proper way reduces the rate at which your wrist fatigues, which yields uneven pressure and undesirable results.


Understanding soap streaks




A soap streak is:


Answer : A higher ratio of soap compared to water in the solution.

Answer : soap streaks do not have the same evaporation ability as water streaks do.

Answer : Soap streaks leave behind colored marks.

In Conclusion : The ability of soap is to simply clean, prevent friction, and aid in glide. without friction, the chances of streaks drastically increase. which imply’s more added pressure on the handle, and increases fatigue of the wrist. and uneven pressure .

overall, water/soap ratio is important. and it really is personal preference. i personally like to use more water than soap, water streaks can evaporate. using to much soap content will leave residue .
