4 Things to Know About Cleaning Windows With Dish Soap

Dish soap and water is all you need A few drops of dish soap in warm water handles both winter grime and road salt on windows and screens. Fancy sprays and ammonia-based cleaners are overkill and can damage window tints or coatings.

Clean windows with a microfiber cloth and squeegee Apply the soapy water with a microfiber cloth or sponge, then squeegee dry. This method is efficient and streak-free.

Clean screens flat with a soft brush Lay screens flat, spray on the soapy water, scrub gently with a soft brush like a cheap paintbrush, then rinse with a garden hose. Let them dry completely before reinstalling.

One bucket, one brush, one squeegee is all you need This setup takes about ten minutes per window. It is as efficient as it gets for both windows and screens.
