Always clean on a cloudy day or when the sun isn’t shining directly on the window—direct sunlight can cause streaks.
Avoid cheap squeegees with rough or damaged blades.
Change the cleaning water if it gets too dirty.
For very dirty windows, rinse with clean water before applying soap.
Use a ladder or extension pole safely for high windows—never overreach.
FAQ
Q: Can I use newspaper instead of a squeegee?
A: Yes, but a squeegee provides a faster, streak-free finish, especially on large windows.
Q: How often should I clean my windows?
A: Typically, 2–4 times a year is sufficient, but high-dust or coastal areas may require more frequent cleaning.
Q: What’s the best cleaner for streak-free windows?
A: A mild soap solution works well. Commercial glass cleaners or a vinegar-water mix (1:1) can also be effective.
