The Secret to Streak-Free Windows

The Secret to Streak-Free Windows (Hint: It's Not Just About the Product!)

Ever spent ages cleaning your windows only to find them covered in streaks once they dry? We feel your pain! As professional cleaners, we've learned a thing or two about achieving that crystal-clear finish, and we're here to spill the secrets.

First things first - put down that paper towel! The key to streak-free windows isn't just about which cleaning solution you use (though that matters too), but what you're using to clean with. Our professional housekeepers swear by microfiber cloths, and here's why: they're lint-free, super absorbent, and won't leave those annoying streaks behind.

Now, for our tried-and-tested technique:

  1. Start with the right tools: Two microfiber cloths (one for washing, one for drying) and a good quality window cleaner
  2. Time it right! Avoid cleaning windows when the sun is directly on them - the heat makes the cleaner dry too quickly, causing streaks
  3. Work in sections, using a Z-pattern (trust us on this one!)
  4. The real pro move? Buff with a clean, dry microfiber cloth after cleaning

Common mistakes we see:

  • Using too much product (less is more!)
  • Cleaning windows on a sunny day (early morning or evening is best)
  • Forgetting to clean the window frames first (drips can undo all your hard work)

While these tips will help you tackle the occasional window cleaning, remember that for a truly professional finish, our expert housekeepers are just a call away! We use professional-grade products and techniques to ensure your windows are not just clean, but streak-free and sparkling.

Fun fact: Did you know that professional window cleaning doesn't just make your home look better? It also lets in more natural light, which can boost your mood and even help lower energy bills!
