Ever wondered what goes into properly cleaning an exterior light fixture? Here’s the whole process. ✨
This was one of six fixtures at the entrance gates of a client’s home, and one of seventeen I cleaned that day alongside the windows.
I take the fixture apart, remove the bulbs, and cover the sockets so no water or debris gets in. Then I wash it inside and out with a sponge brush and microfibre, using glass cleaner and a little Dawn. A thorough rinse with my pure water tank and a wide fan nozzle, then I clean the bulbs themselves, which are always the dirtiest part thanks to insect droppings, and reassemble.
One thing worth mentioning: the client didn’t want these fully detailed, so I keep what I do within what she asked for and her budget. There’s no sense going overboard, running late, or charging more for a level of clean she didn’t request. Doing it right also means doing it to the scope the client actually wants.
