Step-by-Step: Streak-Free Window Cleaning
-
Mix your cleaning solution
Fill a bucket with warm water and add a few drops of dish soap. Swirl gently to combine. For extra grease-cutting and a brighter finish, add a splash of white vinegar. -
Clean the glass surface
Dip a microfiber cloth into the solution, then wring it out until it’s damp, not dripping. Wipe the entire window evenly, paying attention to corners and edges where grime builds up. -
Squeegee immediately for a clear finish
While the glass is still wet, start at the top and pull the squeegee down in smooth, controlled strokes. After each pass, wipe the squeegee blade with a dry cloth or towel to prevent lines and residue. -
Dry and detail the edges
Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove any remaining moisture, especially around the frame and bottom edge. This final wipe helps prevent drips and leaves the glass crystal clear.
Quick Result
Follow this routine and you’ll get clean, streak-free windows quickly—without wasted time or frustrating smears.
