What are common window cleaning mistakes?

In our years serving Topeka, we've seen common window cleaning mistakes come from using the wrong tools, products, or methods. Many people use paper towels and household glass sprays, which can leave lint and streaky residue on the glass. Cleaning in direct hot sun can make the solution dry too fast, leaving spots and drag marks. Using dirty water, old rags, or a worn squeegee simply spreads grime instead of removing it. Skipping the edges and sills allows drips to run back onto the glass. At GoldenHome Window Cleaning, we avoid these mistakes by using a quality dish soap solution, fresh scrubbers, sharp squeegees, and clean, lint-free cloths for detailing. This is why our results consistently look so much better than DIY attempts.
