A skylight lets much needed sunlight into your home.
Indoor ceiling sunlights, otherwise known as skylights, provide a unique view to the outside world. A skylight lets you see the open sky while letting much needed sunlight flood your home. These ceiling portals let in enough light so that man-made lights are not needed until late in the evening, which will save money on your electric bill. Keeping skylights clean is important for its appearance and function. Cleaning a skylight is a matter of using the proper techniques and being as safe as possible.
Instructions
1. Open your step ladder and lock both side braces. Place the open ladder under your skylight. Be sure that all four feet of the ladder are flat on the floor and the ladder will not wobble.
2. Have your assistant hold the ladder firmly while you climb to the top. Remember that you should never stand on the top rung of a step ladder. Get a taller ladder if yours s too short. Have your assistant hand the window cleaner and paper towels up to you when you are in position. Place your materials on the storage platform on the non-climbing side of the step ladder.
3. Twist the nozzle of your window cleaner bottle to the "spray" position. Coat the skylight with a fine mist of window cleaning chemical.
4. Fold a paper towel in half twice to get a four-ply square. Rub the window in a circular motion to distribute the chemical and wipe away any dirt or debris on the glass. Discard the paper towel.
5. Fold a new paper towel into a four-ply square. Use small, circular rubbing motions to dry the window and rub away any streaks on the glass. Wash and dry the window again if necessary to remove dirt, debris or streaks.
