Cleaning skylights is just as necessary as cleaning the normal windows on your home, if not more so, but it may be something you have little experience with. People often think that it is too difficult or dangerous, but it does not have to be either. You can clean them easily. Just keep reading to find out more.
1. For the inside, always use a stepladder.
People often try to clean the skylights by standing on things that were not meant for the job, such as tables or chairs. This is unsafe. You always want to use a stepladder that is tall enough that you do not even have to climb to the top step.
2. Clean on clear, warm days.
If there is any water on the roof, do not climb up to clean the skylights. This also goes for any snow or ice. You always want to climb on the shingles on clear days when the sun has dried them out so that they give you good traction.
3. Use a rope if necessary.
If your home is more than a single story tall, it is advisable to use a rope to anchor yourself to the roof. This way, you eliminate the chance of falling, even if you slip. It does take you a bit longer to set this up than it would to clean without a rope, but you will be safer and you will feel much more stable, which allows you to do the work more quickly.
