Top Window Cleaning Tips for a Streak-Free Shine

Keeping your windows clean can make a big difference in the look and feel of your home or business. However, achieving that perfect, streak-free shine can be tricky without the right techniques. Whether you're tackling the job yourself or scheduling professional cleaning, these expert tips will help you get the best results.

1. Choose the Right Time to Clean

Cleaning windows on a hot, sunny day can cause the cleaning solution to dry too quickly, leaving streaks behind. Instead, opt for a cloudy day or clean early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the sun isn't as strong.

2. Use the Right Tools

For professional-quality results, gather these essentials:✅ Microfiber cloths or lint-free towels – Avoid paper towels, which can leave residue.✅ A quality squeegee – This is the key to streak-free glass.✅ Mild cleaning solution – A mix of water and a small amount of dish soap works great.✅ Bucket or spray bottle – To apply the solution evenly.

3. Start with Dry Dusting

Before applying any cleaning solution, dust off your windows, frames, and sills using a dry microfiber cloth or a soft brush. This prevents dirt from turning into a muddy mess when mixed with water.

4. Use the Right Cleaning Solution

Skip the harsh chemicals! A simple, effective DIY solution is:🔹 2 cups of water🔹 1/4 cup white vinegar or 1 teaspoon dish soap🔹 Mix in a spray bottle and shake gently

For tough grime or grease, a small amount of rubbing alcohol can help break it down.

5. Master the Squeegee Technique

For a streak-free finish:1️⃣ Start at the top corner of the window.2️⃣ Pull the squeegee across in a smooth, overlapping motion.3️⃣ Wipe the blade with a clean cloth between each pass.4️⃣ Finish by wiping the edges with a dry microfiber cloth.

6. Don't Forget the Window Tracks & Screens

Window tracks collect dust and debris, so take a small brush or vacuum to remove buildup. If your screens look dirty, remove them and rinse them with water before placing them back.

7. Clean Both Inside & Outside

Exterior windows accumulate more dirt, pollen, and grime. If reaching higher windows is difficult or unsafe, consider hiring a professional window cleaner to get the job done safely and effectively.
