Ultimate Guide to Shiny Windows!

Listen up, folks! If you’re tired of streaky windows, I've got the magic solution for you. First things first, wait for an overcast day; direct sunlight can dry your cleaner too quickly, leaving behind those pesky streaks.

Here's what you'll need: - 1/4 cup white vinegar - 1/2 teaspoon liquid dish soap - 2 cups of water - A bucket or bowl - A spray bottle - A squeegee (trust me, it's a game changer) - Microfiber cloths or newspapers

Steps: 1. Mix vinegar, dish soap, and water in the bucket/bowl. Pour into the spray bottle. 2. Lightly spray the solution onto your window. 3. Use the squeegee to wipe the solution from top to bottom, wiping the squeegee blade with a cloth or newspaper after each swipe. 4. If you see any streaks, crumple up some newspaper and give it another wipe -works like a charm! 5. Enjoy your sparkling windows!

Pro tip: Do the insides first and the outsides after, so you know where the streaks are!

The vinegar trick is such a classic, works like a charm every time! I started using it a few months back, couldn't believe I used to drop cash on those fancy sprays

Tried this method before, and I dunno, I still get streaks. Could be my technique or maybe the type of water? Got any tips on actually using the squeegee right?

Newspaper? Really? That's a new one on me. I always thought it would leave ink on the glass, but I'm curious enough to give it a go.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? And you think using newspapers to clean windows will make them shiny? 😂

Here's a pro tip I learned from a window cleaning guru: after using the squeegee, take a dry microfiber cloth and outline the edges of the window to catch any remaining water. Gets rid of those tiny streaks that can ruin a perfectly good window job.

Can confirm, this recipe is legit. Been a window-warrior for years and this concoction never fails. Oh, and don't forget: clean your squeegee blade with rubbing alcohol before you start. Keeps it gliding smooth for the cleanest finish.
