If you would like to clean your windows without streaks, you have to pay attention to a few small points at work. Window cleaning without streaks and stripes is not achieved with more work but with a few simple strategies. Our step-by-step shows how to clean windows without streaks.
Tips to clean windows without streaks
Avoid sunshine
First, windows should not be cleaned in direct sunshine, one wants to avoid stripes. Due to the sunlight, the disc heats up and the water dries out too quickly. Hardly anyone is fast enough to dry the disc in the sunshine with the window leather. This creates the unloved stripes and streaks.
Hard water – dissolve lime
In some regions the water is very hard. This simply means that a lot of lime is dissolved in the water. This lime also causes streaks and sometimes even a light covering, which looks as if the glass is fogged.
With a little vinegar, the water can be neutralized to prevent this effect. However, vinegar does not clean the window excessively well. Therefore, the window should first be cleaned normally and then washed with vinegar water.
Detergent and hot water
The easiest and cheapest way to clean a window without stripes is a normal detergent in warm water. If many spots of fly faeces have landed on the disc and frame, the water should be a little warmer.
Dry quickly
The faster the window is dried again after cleaning, the easier it is to achieve streak-free shine. Therefore, a squeegee is very useful, which quickly drains the remaining water from the glass.
Then it is ideal to wipe the remaining moisture with a window leather or a lint-free dry cloth. Old dish towels or microfibre cloths are well suited for the drying of the glass.
Steam cleaner without cleaning agent
If you want to get your windows without cleaning agents, you can use a steam cleaner. It cleans with hot steam and does not require any cleaning agents. However, refuelling can be annoying if you want to clean many windows at once.
Therefore, when purchasing the device, care should be taken to the amount of water that can be filled at once. Before the device can be refilled, it must first cool down. The cleaner also has to install a power cable up to its location, as most devices are not available with a battery.
