DO:

✔ Use a microfiber cloth or a rubber squeegee
✔ Clean windows on a cloudy day — sun dries cleaner too fast and leaves streaks
✔ Use a mix of water + vinegar or a streak-free window cleaner
✔ Wipe in a consistent Z or S pattern
✔ Dry the edges and sill to avoid drip marks

DON’T:

✖ Use paper towels — they leave lint and fibers
✖ Over-spray — more liquid = more streaks
✖ Use dirty rags — they just move grime around
✖ Skip rinsing outdoor windows first — loose dirt will smear
✖ Forget to clean your tools — dirty squeegees = streak city

💡 Want your windows so clean it’s like they’re not even there?
