Using a soft microfiber cloth, go over the surface of the window.Start by rinsing the windows with the hose, then fill a bucket with clean, cool water and add a few drops of liquid dish soap. Outside windows typically have more dirt and stains.Keep in mind: It is best to work on a cool, cloudy day so that the soapy water and window-cleaning solution do not dry on your windows. (Dirty windows typically require two rounds of spraying and drying.) If dirt or streaks remain, spray and dry again.You also can use clean paper towels to dry the windows, if you prefer. Using a clean, lint-free towel (or the black-and-white pages of a newspaper), dry the window completely using a Z-shaped motion.Another option is mixing one capful of ammonia with two gallons of water. Spray the window thoroughly with the vinegar and water solution, or if you prefer, a commercial window cleaning product (such as Zep or Windex, both available on Amazon, or any of the other best glass cleaners we recommend).Don’t forget to wipe down the frame as well, both inside and out. Use a clean microfiber cloth or sponge to go over the surface of the window, starting at the top and working down to the bottom.

Place a large bath towel beneath the window to catch any spills.
