Dry the windows with a window squeegee that has a rubber edge. Start at the top of the window and press the squeegee on the glass at an angle so that only 1 inch of the rubber presses on the glass.

Wipe the squeegee with a damp towel after each swipe on the window. Avoid drying it with a dry towel because the squeegee may skip over areas on the glass.
