Window Cleaning Tips: How to Get Streak-Free Windows

Streaks come from soap and minerals left on the glass. Get rid of those and windows stay clear for longer.

Tips for cleaning windows yourself

  • Clean on a dull day — sun dries the glass too fast and leaves streaks
  • Use very little soap, or none
  • Wipe with a squeegee, then dry the edges with a microfibre cloth
  • Clean frames and sills first, so dirt doesn't run onto clean glass

Why pure-water cleaning works better

We use a water-fed pole system with purified water. With no minerals or soap in the water, the glass dries clear with no streaks, and upper-floor windows can be reached safely from the ground.

How often should windows be cleaned?

Every 4 to 8 weeks keeps most homes looking sharp. Busy roads, trees and building work nearby may mean more often.
