ARGGG! I soooo hate cleaning windows and glass. We have four tables in our upper family room with glass tops (WHAT was I thinking) and tons of windows in our new home that need to be cleaned (winter residue and construction grime from building because I only got half of them done in the fall). No matter what I try I get streaks. I can clean mirrors no problem but NOT glass!! I've tried just water and papertowel, water and my magic cloth for windows, Windex and papertowel, Windex and newspaper, water and vinegar with a squeegee, water and vinegar with papertowels or newspapers and I have NO luck at all!!
I watch the window cleaners at work go from business to business with a bucket of soapy (?) water and a squeegee and the windows are beautiful in seconds Why oh why can't I get this right? I'm now looking at the work I did in the fall on the half of the windows I did have time for and they're all streaky!! I know to not do it on a sunny day and I make sure to wipe in one direction inside and one out so that I know which side I missed by the direction of the mark but still can't get them clean!
Does anyone have a tried and true method? And if you do use dishsoap or vinegar how much per how much water? Maybe I'm not using enough or too much. Also do use papertowels, newspaper, squeegee, or...?
Thanks for any and ALL help - from me AND my filthy windows
