by Jul 16, 2021

We all love skylight windows because of their height which brings natural light and larger space, making it clear that no other window can match the stuff offered by skylight windows. At the same time, skylight cleaning can be a daunting task because you have to reach a good height and require some right tools for the job. Unfortunately, you have decided to complete the cleaning task this weekend, then here is the best guide to clean skylights effectively.

The first and foremost thing we would like to clear is the majority of the skylight windows are made from laminated fiberglass to ensure that it doesn’t break easily. It doesn’t mean that you can break them when cleaning because it can be very expensive to replace them. Here’s how to keep skylights clean?

Skylights Cleaning Materials required For The Job:

  • Clean rags.
  • Warm water.
  • One or 2-gallon bucket depending on the number of skylights in your home.
  • Dish soap.
  • White vinegar.

Follow all the Safety Guidelines:

The skylight windows are installed to stay out of reach. Hence you will need to climb up a ladder or use some powerful water jet machine to reach the skylight windows. It is also important to follow all the safety guidelines if you don’t want to spend a week or two in hospital with a broken hand or leg. Moreover, falls from height can also be fatal, and if you don’t have the right experience for the job, then the chances of death are high.
