Professional window cleaners make it look easy, but if you have ever cleaned your windows yourself, you\u2019ll know that it is anything but easy. Today, we\u2019re looking at cleaning windows and how you can achieve a streak-free shine pretty easily with simple cleaning equipment.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10970 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/iStock-1216608161-e1613732843438-1500x430.jpg\" alt=\"How to clean windows\" width=\"1172\" height=\"336\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How to clean your windows<\/h2>\n<p>With the right window cleaning spray, cloth and techniques, cleaning your windows is fairly straightforward. But what are the tips on cleaning your windows? Well, here they are! The first window cleaning tip may sound a bit odd, but it is actually one of the best on this list.<\/p>\n<h3>Choose the right day<\/h3>\n<p>If you try to clean your windows on a hot day, the cleaning solution will dry out too quickly and leave streaks. So, try to clean your windows on a cloudy but dry day. That way, the solution won\u2019t dry out too quickly so you can wipe it off nice and evenly. If its summer, you can start on the shady side of the house, which should help matters.<\/p>\n<h3>Give your windows a dusting first<\/h3>\n<p>We know that dusting your windows may make you look a bit odd to your neighbours, but it can really help when trying to achieve a nice finish. Dusting your windows first allows the window cleaner to do its job a lot easier. You can dust your windows by using your vacuum cleaner or with a microfibre cloth. Just make sure to use a fresh cloth for the cleaning stage.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-10972\" src=\"https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/crystal-de-passille-chabot-9gzU1mtTzWM-unsplash-scaled-e1613733016333-913x1030.jpg\" alt=\"tips on cleaning your windows\" width=\"285\" height=\"321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/crystal-de-passille-chabot-9gzU1mtTzWM-unsplash-scaled-e1613733016333-913x1030.jpg 913w, https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/crystal-de-passille-chabot-9gzU1mtTzWM-unsplash-scaled-e1613733016333-266x300.jpg 266w, https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/crystal-de-passille-chabot-9gzU1mtTzWM-unsplash-scaled-e1613733016333-768x867.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/crystal-de-passille-chabot-9gzU1mtTzWM-unsplash-scaled-e1613733016333-1361x1536.jpg 1361w, https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/crystal-de-passille-chabot-9gzU1mtTzWM-unsplash-scaled-e1613733016333-1329x1500.jpg 1329w, https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/crystal-de-passille-chabot-9gzU1mtTzWM-unsplash-scaled-e1613733016333-625x705.jpg 625w, https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/crystal-de-passille-chabot-9gzU1mtTzWM-unsplash-scaled-e1613733016333.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Window cleaning solutions<\/h3>\n<p>Most commercial window cleaning sprays do work really well as long as you use enough of it. Don\u2019t shy away from using loads of window cleaning solution on each window as this helps it cut through the grime and will improve your finish.<\/p>\n<h3>Use a microfibre cloth<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019re sure you\u2019ve seen some people use newspaper for drying off their windows, but microfibre cloths work perfectly well. Keep wiping your window until it is dry, once it is, it will be streak-free and awesome!<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0No need to squeegee<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re cleaning your windows in your home, using a squeegee will leave cleaning solution all over your floor or window sill. So, skip this step. As long as you have dried your windows well enough with the microfibre cloth, you don\u2019t need to squeegee anyway, they will be nice and clean. This step can also be skipped when cleaning the outside of your windows too.<\/p>\n<h3>More cleaning tips<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/how-to-clean-silver-at-home\/\">How to clean silver at home<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/how-to-clean-a-tv-screen\/\">How to clean a TV screen<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/tips-on-getting-rid-of-mould-in-your-home\/\">How to get rid of mould<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/how-to-clean-an-oven\/\">How to clean an oven<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/how-to-clean-your-washing-machine\/\">How to clean a washing machine<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget, if you use Cleaning Express\u2019 cleaning services, we do offer <a href=\"https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/window-cleaning\/\">window cleaning services<\/a>.
