Step-by-Step Process

Prepare the Cleaning Solution
Mix warm water with a few drops of dish soap.
For stubborn grime or extra sparkle, add 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water.
Remove Dust and Debris
Use a small brush to clean window tracks and corners.
Wipe down the surface lightly with a dry microfiber cloth to remove loose dirt.
Wash the Window Surface
Dip a soft sponge or scrubber into the cleaning solution.
Gently scrub the glass, paying attention to fingerprints, streaks, or smudges.
Rinse Thoroughly
Wipe away soap with a damp microfiber cloth or rinse with clean water.
Use a Squeegee for a Flawless Finish
Start at the top corner of the window.
Pull the squeegee in straight lines, wiping the blade with a cloth after each stroke to prevent streaking.
Polish the Edges
Use a dry lint-free cloth or crumpled newspaper to polish the edges and corners.
Optional Shine Boost
Spray a little vinegar solution or a glass-specific cleaner and buff with a clean microfiber cloth.

Pro Tips

Choose the Right Day: Clean windows on a cloudy day to prevent the solution from drying too quickly and leaving streaks.
Work Vertically: For exterior windows, clean one side vertically and the other horizontally so you can identify streaks easily.
Avoid Over-Saturating: Excess water can drip into window frames, potentially causing damage over time.

By following this method, you’ll have gleaming windows that look professionally cleaned. ✨
