How To Clean Windows Streak Free

Cleaning Windows With Vinegar

Some people use a vinegar base cleaning detergent to clean their windows. It works well some people claim because it is clear, it also breaks up grease, and it is more eco-friendly. The acidic in vinegar breaks down film and dirt that is often on glass surfaces. When cleaning windows with vinegar the recommended recipe is using 50% white vinegar and 50% of water. 

Another reason why you could be getting streaks on your windows after cleaning could be the same reason why your dishes end up with water marks after you clean your windows. Using distilled water instead of your tap water could help you have steak free windows. In your tap water, there are some minerals in the water that could cause streak in your water.
