Ultimate Guide to Crystal-Clear Windows: DIY Window Cleaning with Dish Soap, Squeegee, and Microfiber Scrubber!

Transform your windows into sparkling perfection with an easy-to-follow DIY window cleaning tutorial! In this step-by-step guide, we'll show you how to achieve streak-free, crystal-clear windows using simple household items and economical tools - dish soap, a trusty squeegee, and a microfiber scrubber.
Say goodbye to grime and hello to a brighter view! Whether you're tackling spring cleaning or just want to enjoy a clearer perspective, our method is effective and budget-friendly.

What you'll need:
Squeegee - Professional quality. The secret weapon for achieving a streak-free finish without any fuss.
Extension Pole for those hard to reach windows. Sometimes this is safer then using a ladder.

Step-by-step guide:
Prepare your cleaning solution in the bucket: Mix a small amount of dish soap with water in a bucket. This DIY solution is tough on dirt but gentle on your windows.
Apply the soap directly to the scrubber: Apply a continuous line of dish soap down each side of the the scrubber.
Squeegee: Use the 2 Stroke or Fanning method depending on the size of the window. As a rule of thumb if the window is less than 2 squeegee’s wide a 2 stroke method is acceptable. If the window is larger than 2 squeegee’s wide fanning is recommended to avoid streaks and lines. As a beginner using the stroke/pull method is the easier of the 2 methods. It gets great results and should be considered until you get comfortable fanning.
Repeat if necessary: For particularly dirty windows, don't hesitate to repeat the process until you achieve the desired cleanliness. Also do not be afraid to practice your technique over and over until you perfect it. Its not hard.
Inspect & Correct: Use a dry lint free glass microfiber cloth to polish away any streaks or missed areas as a finishing touch.
This easy window cleaning method is perfect for anyone looking to achieve professional results without the hefty price tag. Give it a try and let us know how your windows shine! Happy cleaning!

Wow👏 Have been cleaning windows for years and always used dishwashing liquid, always wiped the soap off with a wet microfibre cloth. Won’t be doing that ever again. Just tried your technique and my sliding door and windows look like they have been done by a professional. TY👏👏

As a professional window cleaner, I approve of your tutorial.

[JamesWindland]

Looks like I'll be washing some windows when the weather warms up. Thanks for the technique!

Between this and your deep clean grilling video, I like where you’re heading with general home cleaning tutorials. Great stuff man. I appreciate how nuanced you are with doing a detailed job 👍🏻 looking forward to the next home cleaning vid!

[danemartins]

I was going to invest in some proper window washing equipment this spring. Perfect timing for this video, thanks!

Yesterday I finished taking care of weeds. Guess I will be doing this next weekend 😢. I usually buy a gallon window solution at home depot that has the washing and shine in it. Windows are easy, but I have 20 foot wide sliding doors for the patio. I have used a power washer to rinse of the dirt and then spray soap solution in canon power washer. Then squidgy and wipe off any edges if needed. In AZ power washer works well to get the heavy dust off. I will try your method for the windows. Thanks

I’ve watched people washing windows many times using the fanning method, which requires a very flexible wrist and when you get down to the floor for doors I find that awkward. The point the got me was cleaning off the edge so you don’t get streaks. I would never have thought of that so I’m going to give it a try. I might even buy a professional squeegee. Thanks so much for your professional explanations. A great, helpful video 😊

Im a professional window cleaner. So a few things. Dawn leaves a residue. Thos will attractive dirt. If you want long twrm clean use a professional solution from home depot or menards. Better longer results. I dont use dish soap. Its ment to be rinsed.
The soap should allow rubber slip but only enough to allow slip and not be excessivly sudzy. Sudz are bad leaves more marks. A flat mucrofiber or bronze wool pad will work much better than the mop. Mote aggressive but use a 0000 grade bronze wool.

You took clean windows to the next level 😊

The simplicity in which he explains things are top notch! The way he pitches his voice to get a point across. Excellent!

I have two of those Unger MF heads, 18 and 14-in, and I find using a rectangle bucket easier to use than the 5-gal round bucket. All great tips, but the best is watching window washing process on a high rise building. They are all about efficiency and speed while hanging on for dear life (working inside one of those buildings...LOL).

[archiepezek]

Great video Jeremy! This is good info for me as our house has sliding glass doors on every room and there's a lot of glass to clean. Keep up the awesome work.

[LTX-Shep]

Nicley done. Good to see you branching out into detailing around the house.

Something I love about dish soap is it's inherently not going to leave residues or perfumes behind. It isn't going to leave a film on your dishes or make them smell like perfumes. It's honestly great at cleaning most surfaces. I've used it on floors to clean up "drain backups" (Along with bleach obviously), and obviously washed my hands a few thousand times with it.

They use it to clean off oil covered animals, so it's probably good for just about anything lol

Thank you for this tutorial. I never used pro gear before, but thanks to a simple $18 investment, I was able to clean all the windows/glass doors in my apartment in only 20 minutes (normally takes over an hour with Windex and paper towels). Not sure if there are different strokes with the fanning method for really large windows/doors like the two that separate my living room from my balcony, but the basic techniques you teach worked beautifully. Thanks again for this tutorial and content!

[marianneporter]

This is a great video. I’m actually excited, for the first time in my life, to clean my windows!

[BruceHowe-vd]

Great video! I love that sealant. I have used it on quite a variety of surfaces to add depth and make the surfaces easy to clean. Great on glass inside and out. Fantastic on auto glass!

Great tips for keeping those windows clean. 👏

[joannc]

Wowee wow wow…..EXCELLENT! Products look great and YOU, sir, are a most wondrous teacher who has just made a mundane task appear challenging, fun and a wee bit of a thrill. I don’t even know how that’s possible. 🤷🏻‍♀ You are da MASTER at this! As for that polish…..I’m thinking this is a great way to deal with those dog-nose-smears at my house. Thank you! ❤

Jeremy, I went down this rabbit hole a year ago. last summer I decided to try McKees N-914 rinseless wash and it worked great! I think any of the rinseless washes would also work great.
