Clean windows without streaks

Get clean windows without streaks. Learn about tools, weather, technique and when professional window cleaning makes sense.

Quick answer

To avoid streaks you need clean water, a good rubber squeegee and careful drying of the edges.

Dirt, pollen and grease reduce daylight. Clean windows affect both how the home feels and how it looks from outside.

Step by step

Prefer a cloudy day. Direct sun makes water dry too fast and leaves marks.

  • Brush loose dirt from frame and glass
  • Wash the glass with lukewarm water and a mild cleaner
  • Squeegee with even pressure from top to bottom
  • Wipe the squeegee between strokes
  • Dry edges and corners with a clean cloth
  • Check the pane from the side

Common mistakes to avoid

Most problems come from the wrong order, products that are too strong, or waiting too long between efforts. Keep this in mind before you start.

  • Using too much cleaner
  • Cleaning in strong sun
  • Using a dirty squeegee
  • Forgetting frames and edges
