Many people use vinegar; however the main problem with this is that it doesn’t sud up. The suds are important to lubricate the rubber as it passes over the glass, making it a lot easier to turn the squeegee. They also make it easier to see any water marks that need wiping off;

2- A good lint free microfiber cloth is great for getting rid of water marks anywhere on the glass. Use it dry;

3- Use the appropriate technique:

• Vertical is a simple window cleaning method that is carried out on windows that are taller than wider
• Horizontal is best used when the window is wider than taller
• Fanning is the method which professionals use; it combines vertical and horizontal action without lifting the squeegee off the glass
