The best way to get streak-free windows is to use the right tools and clean at the right time of day. First, give the glass a quick dust or rinse to remove loose dirt. Then use a good quality window cleaning solution along with a microfibre cloth or squeegee.

Avoid cleaning windows when the sun’s shining directly on them, as it can dry the solution too fast and leave marks behind. Work from top to bottom and use a clean, dry cloth to wipe up any edges or drips.

For a proper clean, you’ll want to use a quality window cleaning solution (not just soapy water), along with a microfibre cloth or a rubber-bladed squeegee. These tools help remove grime without leaving behind streaks or lint. Avoid using paper towels or newspaper as they tend to smear dirt around rather than lift it.

If you’re after a professional finish without the elbow grease, Silverback Cleaning uses commercial-grade products and equipment to get your windows looking spotless.

Professional window cleaners often use a mix of purified water and a small amount of specialised detergent or surfactant. Purified water is free from minerals and impurities, which helps prevent streaks and spotting. The detergent helps break down dirt, grease and grime, making it easier to lift off the glass.

At Silverback Cleaning, we also use commercial-grade tools to ensure a streak-free finish.
