How to Clean Windows Without Streaks (I Tried Every Method)

I used to hate cleaning windows because I could never get them streak-free. I tried every window cleaner on the market, and they all left streaks. Then I found this simple homemade window cleaner that works better than any store-bought cleaner. In this guide, I'll show you how to clean windows without streaks.

Homemade Window Cleaner Recipe

2 cups of water
1/4 cup of white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon of dish soap

Mix all the ingredients together in a spray bottle.

Step-by-Step Guide

Spray the window cleaner on the window.
Wipe the window with a microfiber cloth in a circular motion.
Use a dry microfiber cloth to buff the window until it's streak-free.

Pro Tips for Streak-Free Windows

Clean your windows on a cloudy day. Direct sunlight will cause the cleaner to dry too quickly and leave streaks.
Use a squeegee for large windows. It's much faster and leaves fewer streaks.
Wash your microfiber cloths after each use. Dirty cloths will leave streaks.

What to Avoid

Never use paper towels to clean windows. They leave lint and streaks. Always use a microfiber cloth or a squeegee.
