  • I recently heard this from a glass cleaning professional, who said forget Windex use Dawn liquid soap and water. Im going to try your technique. Thank you

    • Windex and other ammonia-based glass cleaners are bad for the rubber seals around the windshield and other windows. They also cause streaking and clouding on the outside window surface and takes forever to remove. Rainex also causes streaking that’s noticeable in the winter months when you’re defrosting your windshield. The manufacturer recommends using Dawn to remove it if you have that problem.

    • For glass, for example glasses, your fingers and soap work best, rinse with water then dry with oneofthem microfiber you get from the glasses store......not going to work well on inside of windshield, but outside soaping whole hand works better than cloth If you apply rainx to a cleaned outside of windshield and you get streaks, simply spray misty water and buff Same thing with fogx on the inside

  • This is great advice regarding the Dawn/Water mix. The method is very close to mine. Depending on the outside temps (warmer/more often) it should be done about once a month, more often in warmer months and fewer in cooler months. The off-gassing of materials used to manufacture the interior and smokers requires more frequent cleaning of interior windows.

  • As a professional window cleaner, I use Dawn exclusively. I do most of what he shows here, but I use a squeegee instead of wiping the whole window. I only wipe what the squeegee can't reach. But I do wipe it similarly to this guy. A good squeegee with ettore rubber is what makes no streaks. If you don't get it clean with soap and water before hand, though, that's what will make them show up later.

    • Try Invisible Glass. I saw that on a KZhead video by a car detailer a few years ago and have been using it ever cents. He says that the ones that streak are glass cleaners that contain ammonia. Everybody thinks ammonia is good, but it’s not. We use Invisible Glass on our car and home windows. It works great! That being said, you can never go wrong with water and a little bit of Dawn dishwashing liquid, especially for extra dirty windows

  • I agree with using the dawn for oil. But after that use just plain water. I worked at a pharmacy and noticed when the evening sun would glare thru our windows they never had any streaks like most glass cleaners leave. We had an older man that had been at the pharmacy his entire adult life and he chose to clean the windows. One day I just asked him what was in his spray bottle that kept them so spotless? He laughed and said water. I thought he was joking. I laughed and said no really. He said really just water. He learned it when he was in service. I’ve used only water now for years on mirrors and glass. Now if they have some type of buildup on them you might need the dawn trick first.

    • I used to be a professional window washer. Soap is helpful for getting grime off, but then you also need to get all the soap off too. That's what a squeegee is for. Wiping soapy water off with a cloth, like in this video, won't cut it. Unless you like washing your windshield everyday.

  • My dad taught me this method when I was 7 years old living in Botswana. He instructed me to use a newspaper to wick the moisture away from the glass as there were no microfibre cloths for sale at that time or terry cloths. It was squeaky clean and I still use it sometimes when I cannot find the microfibre cloths.

    • Yes, newspaper works good, has a lot of surface area/page, and it's ink minimizes streaking.

    • Ages ago I used to use newspapers to clean glass. That was the time they printed them with ink that had oil in it. Newspaper doesn't use that kind of ink anymore so it doesn't work like it used to.

  • Great video! A friend of mine uses a spray bottle with the Dawn and water mix. She fills a spray bottle with it to clean interior and exterior home windows and to clean kitchen counter tops and stoves which tend to have a lot of grease residue. Works better than commercial cleaners. Inspired by this video, I am going to experiment by using a dash of Dawn and "Distilled" Water in spray bottle . Using this Cobra method: Spray it on the towel (not the windshield) and use a separate drying towel to clean. No need constantly mix up a bucket of cleaner.

  • Earlier this year, I was persuaded by a KZheadr to do as you did with a soapy wash, rinse with a second cloth using fresh water, then squeegee instead of using a drying cloth. I think either way would leave you satisfied but your way seems more economical.

    @jerrynkathy@jerrynkathy4 ай бұрын

    • Squeegee is definitely the way to go. But it's very difficult to do on th inside of a windshield. Rinsing with water before trying to dry would be a good alternative.

  • ...as a side note: do not wash your car paint with Dawn or other dishwashing liquids; they strip the paint and any wax coating. Use proper car wash liquid and a wash mitt or similar.

  • To maintain a haze free inside windshield a standard blackboard eraser does wonders, and it’s fast. I keep one in each vehicle.

    • When do you use the eraser - every so often or just after washing the window?

    • Just any time it seems hazy. I found this out from someone else’s suggestion. If the defrost doesn’t get rid of the haze this seems to work well @@geegs120
