How to Wash Windows Without Streaks: Step by Step
Streaks come not from a bad product but from the wrong technique and direct sun. This method gives clean glass the first time.
What you need
- Warm water with a little dish soap, or a glass spray.
- Soft microfibre and a dry lint-free cloth, or a squeegee.
- A bucket, a brush for frames, a vacuum or dust brush.
Step by step
- Remove dust from the frame and sill with a dry cloth or vacuum.
- Wash the frame and seal, then the sill.
- Apply the solution to the glass and pull the squeegee from top to bottom, wiping the blade after each pass.
- Dry the corners and edges with microfibre.
Clean glass on a cloudy day or in the shade: in the sun the solution dries faster than you can remove it and leaves streaks.
Mistakes that leave streaks
- Too much product.
- Paper towels that leave lint.
- Cleaning in direct sun.
- Dirty frames: water runs from them back onto the glass.
Panoramic and high windows
Large panes need an extension pole, safety measures and time. For floor-to-ceiling windows or high floors, it is safer to hire professionals: in the Cleanex calculator it is a separate option.
