How to clean windows properly? Tips and tricks for streak-free windows.

After 25 years of professional window cleaning, I've discovered that achieving crystal-clear windows requires two fundamental elements: proper tools and technique. Many property owners struggle with streaky windows because they use ineffective tools or outdated methods.

Essential Window Cleaning Tools: What the Pros Use

The Importance of Quality Squeegees

One of the most common issues I encounter is deteriorated squeegee equipment. Here's what you need to know:

  • Replace worn, cracked, or misshapen rubber blades immediately
  • Maintain sharp edges for optimal dirt removal

Proper Solution Preparation

The right cleaning solution is crucial for professional results:

  • Use the correct soap-to-water ratio
  • Apply solution with appropriate applicators
  • Ensure thorough dirt removal before squeegee use
