The Types of Towels Professional Window Cleaners Use

Towels continue to be a reliable tool for most professional window cleaners even after the invention of rubber squeegees. They are used to clean any water left on the edges of the glass, window frame, and sill. Today’s towels are mostly lint-free and absorbent, far from the ones that remain damp that tend to leave noticeable smears on the window glass.

Sunco Window Cleaning, your go-to window, gutter and roof cleaning company, shares the types of towels professional window cleaners use daily.

Cotton Towel

This multi-purpose towel is fairly absorbent, relatively inexpensive, and can be used in various applications. A regular-sized cotton towel works well once it has been washed and dried several times, especially when removing lint. Used bath towels can be repurposed as drop cloths. Hand towels help wipe away water from non-glass window components.

Chamois Towel

Often called a shammy, this cleaning tool is mostly used on automobiles, particularly drying and buffing motor vehicles after washing. It is a type of porous leather from the skin of a mountain goat of the same name. Today, however, it is made from oil-tanned sheepskin as well as from synthetic materials Many window cleaning pros use this because of its ability to remove lint and leave a nice shine on the window panes.

Microfiber Towel

This type of towel has fine strands which are around half as fine as the hair on your head. Like regular cotton towels, it is soft, water-absorbent, quick-dry, lightweight and highly reliable for cleaning windows and other surfaces.

Surgical Towel

Also known as the huck towel, it is characterized as having hems on all four sides. It is used to wipe down surgical instruments after sterilization. Durable and lint-free, it is also a perfect cleaning tool for window cleaners.
