Clean windows streak-free

Clear glass, more light.

4 min read

Dirty windows can noticeably dim a room. A simple method gives streak-free glass.

How

  1. Clean on a cloudy day so the glass doesn't dry too fast
  2. Dust frames and sills first
  3. Wash with a mild solution of water and a little dish soap
  4. Squeegee from top to bottom, wiping the blade each pass
  5. Finish edges with a lint-free microfiber cloth

Safety

Use a sturdy ladder on level ground, and leave high or hard-to-reach windows to a professional.
