Why are my windows still smeared after cleaning?

Windows often look smeared after cleaning because the solution, tools, or technique aren't quite right. Dirty water or overused towels can spread oils and grime around instead of removing them. Using too much cleaner, especially strong sprays, can also leave residue that dries as haze on the glass. A worn-out squeegee or wiping in random directions with paper towels tends to create streaks. At GoldenHome Window Cleaning, we avoid these issues by using fresh water with a small amount of dish soap, applying it with a clean scrubber, and removing it with a good squeegee in even strokes. We dry the edges with a lint-free cloth, and the glass looks much clearer. If you're struggling with smeared windows, we're happy to help - this is exactly the kind of problem we solve every day in Topeka.
