Window cleaning — best time and how to avoid streaks
Window cleaning looks simple, but streaks can ruin the result. Here is a practical guide from NovaCleanly.
1. Best weather
Avoid strong sun — it dries water too fast. Mild or cloudy days are best.
In winter, clean only above 0°C to avoid freezing.
2. Surface prep
Remove dust from frames and sills before washing the glass.
Move blinds or curtains for full access.
3. Tools and products
Use a squeegee, microfiber, and proper glass cleaner. Too much detergent can leave streaks.
A polishing cloth adds shine and removes remaining moisture.
4. Technique
Wash in circular or “S” strokes and pull the squeegee from top to bottom, wiping it each pass.
Remove droplets immediately for a perfect finish.
5. Frequency
Busy streets mean more frequent cleaning. Calm areas can be done quarterly.
Spring and autumn are the best seasons.
6. Combine with other services
Window cleaning pairs well with apartment or office cleaning.
After renovation, window cleaning is almost essential.
7. When to hire professionals
Large glazing or high floors are safer and faster with a professional team.
