Streaky windows are one of the most frustrating jobs in the house — and most of the time, the spray is the problem, not the solution. Here's how to get glass crystal clear with nothing but water and the right cloth.
Why windows streak in the first place
Most glass sprays leave behind a thin chemical residue. As it dries, it catches the light and shows up as streaks and smears. Ordinary cloths and paper towel just move that residue around — and leave lint behind.
The streak-free method
- Dust first. Wipe away loose dust so you're not turning it into muddy streaks.
- Dampen a high-density microfibre cloth with plain water — no spray needed.
- Wipe in an S-pattern from top to bottom.
- Buff dry immediately with a clean, dry section of the cloth.
Why microfibre beats paper towel
A quality microfibre cloth like Whavi is woven with millions of tiny fibres that grip and lift grime instead of smearing it. No residue, no lint, no streaks — and it's reusable for years.
Quick tips
- Clean on a cloudy day so glass doesn't dry too fast.
- Keep one cloth for washing and one for buffing.
- Wash your cloths without fabric softener to keep them grabbing dirt.
