How to Clean Windows Without Streaks: Tips from the Cleaning Company VCLEAN

Clean windows make a room brighter, more spacious, and more pleasant. But often it happens — you wash and wash, and after drying, ugly streaks remain. In this article, we, the VCLEAN team, will tell you how to clean windows without streaks, quickly and effectively — like real cleaning pros.

Step 1. Preparation is key

Before you start cleaning windows, make sure you have everything you need:

• Soft sponge or microfiber cloth

• Rubber squeegee

• Clean warm water

• Spray bottle with solution

• Dry lint-free cloths

• Step ladder or secure support — for high windows

Step 2. Make the right cleaning solution

A simple and effective homemade solution:

• 1 liter of warm water

• 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice

• 2 drops of dishwashing liquid

This composition easily removes dirt, grease, and leaves no streaks.

👉 Important: do not use too much detergent — foam can leave marks when drying.

Step 3. Clean windows step by step

1. Remove dust and dirt from windowsills and frames.

2. Spray the solution on the glass.
   Use plenty of liquid — dirt should soften well.

3. Wipe the glass with microfiber or sponge.

4. Use the squeegee to remove water from top to bottom in smooth motions.
   After each pass, wipe the rubber blade with a cloth.

5. Wipe edges and corners with a dry cloth.
   These are the places where streaks most often appear.

Step 4. Consider the weather

The best time to clean windows is a cloudy but dry day.
In the sun, water and solution dry too quickly, which often causes streaks.

Professional tip from VCLEAN

Add a couple of drops of glycerin or alcohol to the water — this not only improves glass shine but also slows down re-soiling.
