Place your sheepskin scrubbing brush into the water & squeeze about two thirds of the soapy water out with your hands. Apply sheepskin scrubbing brush to your window & scrub your window until there are no more hard to remove marks like bird droppings or insect droppings. Make sure your window is thoroughly wet & soapy. Wipe the edges of your window. Apply at the top of the glass at a 45 degree angle & pull down nonstop until you reach the bottom of your window. Wipe the squeegee dry & repeat until there is no more soapy water on your window. With a dry towel wipe around the edges of your window frame again to get rid of any excess soapy water you may have missed. Repeat this for every window in your home. When done carefully replace screens. Repeat these steps for your inside windows but you may want to lay a beach towel down to catch any drips from your equipment.
