Gather the Necessary Tools and Materials

To effectively clean jalousie windows, you’ll need specific tools that can handle the unique structure of these windows:

• Cleaning Solutions: A mild detergent or a vinegar-water solution for cutting through grime without damaging the glass.
• Soft Brushes and Microfiber Cloths: To remove dirt from the slats without scratching the glass.
• Squeegee: For wiping down each slat to prevent water spots.
• Extension Pole: Essential for reaching upper windows safely from inside.
• Safety Gear: Harness and helmet if external access is required.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process

1. Safety Precautions: Ensure that all safety equipment is utilized and that conditions are safe for external window cleaning.
2. Initial Dusting: Use a soft brush to gently remove any loose dust and debris from the slats.
3. Applying Cleaning Solution: Dip the brush in the cleaning solution and carefully scrub each slat.
4. Squeegee Off Water: Clear water from each slat with a squeegee to prevent streaking.
5. Dry with Microfiber Cloths: Follow up with microfiber cloths to dry any remaining moisture, ensuring a streak-free finish.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Cleaning: Regular maintenance is key to keeping jalousie windows in optimal condition. Clean these windows at least once every three months.
• Check Mechanisms: Periodically check the pivoting mechanisms for rust or corrosion and apply a silicone spray if needed to keep the moving parts functioning smoothly.
• Inspect for Damage: Look for any signs of wear or damage to the slats or frame, which could impact functionality.
