PressurePros 249 Report post Posted December 23, 2005 Ettore window cleaner and a good squeegee. Dry window edges with micro fiber cloth. I used to use Dawn soap in some water and the Ettore leaves the windows much more transparent and sparkling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted December 23, 2005 Also, when using a squeege, it took me a bit to get this through my head that you just glide the blade over the glass and do not put force into the blade as you are squeeging. I had to fight back the common urge of using elbow grease in every aspect of cleaning until I actually evaluated my technique and tried some different methods. A light touch works great and saves so much time on mid blade streaks from improper contact. For the tile, try this... http://www.aldonchem.com/pr-sealer-selector-1-holder.htm Rod!~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bforbis 14 Report post Posted December 23, 2005 Hey Rod... I have a heavy hand as well. It is difficult to back off and I'll have to try it more lighter to eliminate the mid-streaks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tronman 14 Report post Posted January 6, 2006 Well I finally figured it out. I spoke with a commercial window cleaner. He said to use water and a little soap for the window scrubber. You have to dry off the squeegee blade after each pull and wipe up any runs etc. with a very dry cotton cloth. The better the quality of cotton cloth (bath towel) the better. I just completed a 2 story 4,000 sq ft home inside and out without any smears , streaks, etc. The window guy also said to rinse off the windows with a garden hose to cool them of on hot days. Hot glass is no fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
