You then wet the sleeve by immersing it in detergent. Then you remove the excess detergent. The applicator should not be dripping. Now you can rub the sleeve all over the window to cover the glass. You can use the pad on the end of the sleeve to remove any stubborn marks or bird droppings. You should rub the sleeve up and down and from side to side, and in a circular motion covering the window in suds. When all the dirt is loose, you can use a squeegee to remove the detergent. You may need to repeat if necessary. Clean up the edges with a Scrim - You can now clean windows!
