Still struggling to find out how to clean windows without streaks? You may have to rethink what you’re using to clean your windows rather than the cleaning solutions you’re using. Alicia Johnson, the owner Window Cleaning of West Covina-based Cleaning Green LLC(opens in new tab), told us that for ‘ensuring it’s absolutely spotless and no streaks are left behind, the tool you are using carries more importance than the cleaning solution.’
It doesn’t so much matter if you’re using good old vinegar or a fancy window cleaning spray – if you’re using ‘an ordinary cloth that isn’t even designed for cleaning windows’, you likely will find that it ‘leaves messy streaks and marks behind.’
So, ‘if you want your windows to be appropriately cleaned, we highly recommend you invest in a professional cleaning tool. Nowadays, you can get your hands on a window vacuum that cleans your window spotless and leaves ZERO streaks behind. There are even magnetic window cleaners available in the market! Both are clamped against the window in between; as you move one across the window to clean, the one on the other side follows, and you can clean both sides simultaneously.’
That’s definitely food for thought. A robot window vacuum cleaner from Amazon(opens in new tab) will cost you around $150 – not cheap, but it will do a perfect, streak-free job without you needing to lift a finger.
