Homeowners often clean their windows with wadded-up paper
towels or newspaper, spray cleaner, and alot of elbow grease. All that rubbing
isn't really a good idea. You're really just moving dirt around from one spot to another and
putting a static charge on the glass, which attracts dust and dirt. As soon as
you finish, the window looks dirty again.
Washing windows with a squeegee will get your glass clear
and streak free in a fraction of the time it takes with paper towels with
crystal clear, streak-free results. Keep some clean rags handy to wipe the
squeegee and quickly clean up soapy water that runs onto the window sill. Use a
separate clean rag to wipe the perimeter of the glass. Microfiber towels work
great for window cleaning.
Use a window cleaning solution, which contains ammonia,
vinegar or a liquid dishwashing detergent. These work well if used sparingly. Ammonia
cuts heavy greasy soil and vinegar helps remove hard water spots. Too much
chemical or soap solution causes streaks and leaves residue on the windows. Don't
clean windows in direct sunlight as the window may dry too fast and streak.
