Step 1
Start with a dry rubber squeegee that's 10 to 16 inches across and made of stainless steel or brass. If the rubber is old, you'll need to change it or buy a new squeegee.
-
Step 2
Make sure your window has been thoroughly wetted with a window scrubber and all dirt or spots have been scrubbed out. Use a scraper to remove stubborn spots.
-
Step 3
Begin at the top left corner of your window and, placing your squeegee sideways, pull from left to right all the way down the window. After each stroke, wipe the squeegee off with a dry rag.
-
Step 4
Try using techniques by starting at the upper left corner of your window and pulling the squeegee from top to bottom, wiping the squeegee off after each stroke, and working your way from left to right across the window. Use a microfiber cloth to remove any excess moisture from the corners or sides of the window.
-
Step 5
Use the "S" or swirl technique if you find that you're leaving too many streaks on your windows. Start with your squeegee at an angle to the upper left side of your window and pull your squeegee in a rounded swirl pattern back and forth across the window as if you're making an "S". It takes practice to make sure you don't miss any spots.
-
Step 6
Wipe any excess moisture from the edges of the window using a microfiber cloth so as to not leave any lint. When you become good at the swirl technique you'll be able to squeegee an entire window without stopping to wipe.
