How to wash windows without leaving streaks?

Window cleaning can often seem a daunting task. Many of us have struggled with stubborn streaks and marks left by inadequate cleaning. However, with the right technique and the right tools, you can achieve spotless windows. Here's how to make your windows shine without leaving streaks.

1. Why do the windows remain stained?

Window cleaning can often leave streaks, making a simple task frustrating. Here are some common reasons why windows can remain streaky after cleaning:

  1. Hard water Water with a high mineral content can leave limescale deposits on glass panes after evaporation.
  2. Inappropriate products Use of detergents or cleaning solutions not suitable for glass may leave a residual film.
  3. Dirty or unsuitable rags : Unclean cloths or cloths made of fluffy materials can transfer dirt to the glass.
  4. Drying Technique : Failure to dry windows thoroughly, or the use of inappropriate techniques, can leave streaks.
  5. Soleil Direct Cleaning windows in the sun can dry the cleaner too quickly, leaving insufficient time for proper wiping and leaving streaks.

2. What equipment should I use?

  • A squeegee with a soft rubber blade.
  • A sprayer with a suitable cleaning solution.
  • Quality microfiber cloths.

3. What homemade cleaning solution can I use?

Mix one part white vinegar with one part water in your spray bottle. This natural solution is effective and leaves no residue.

4. How do you wash the glass?

  1. Spraying Spray the solution generously over the entire surface of the glass.
  2. Cleaning With a clean cloth, rub the glass in a "Z" pattern to cover the entire surface.
  3. Scraping Pass the squeegee up and down at a constant angle to remove the liquid.
  4. Edge drying Use a dry cloth to remove moisture from the edges of the glass.

5. When is the best time to avoid tracks?

Choose a cloudy day or a time when the sun isn't shining directly on the windows, as the heat can dry the product too quickly and leave streaks.

6. Further advice

  • Always clean windows from the inside out.
  • Change cloths regularly to avoid transferring dirt.
  • For stubborn stains, use rubbing alcohol on a cloth before cleaning as usual.
  • If you use vinegar, mix it with water in equal proportions for effective, streak-free cleaning.
  • For stubborn stains, use rubbing alcohol before cleaning with your usual solution.
