- Preparation: Remove any dust and dirt from the window frame and sill using a dry microfiber cloth or a duster. This prevents dirt from mixing with your cleaning solution and making a mess.
- Mix Your Solution: Fill your bucket with warm water and add a few drops of dish soap. For extra shine, you can add a splash of vinegar.
- Clean the Window: Dip a sponge or cloth into the cleaning solution and wipe the window, starting from the top and working your way down. This helps avoid drips on already cleaned areas.
- Use the Squeegee: Start at the top of the window and drag the squeegee down in a straight line. Wipe the blade with a clean cloth after each pass to avoid streaks.
- Wipe the Edges: Use a dry microfiber cloth to clean around the edges and remove any remaining water or solution. This step ensures there are no drips or streaks left on the glass.
- Repeat: If your windows are especially dirty, you might need to repeat the process to get them completely clean.
