Here are some other window cleaning tips and suggestions. Try them out and let me know how they work for you.
For no streaks, wait for a cloudy day. Don't wash them on a rainy day. If you wash them in direct sunlight, you will have more streaks. The increasing of streaks is because the solution dries before it can be wiped off.
Purchase a good squeegee. I suggest buying a professional one for about twenty dollars. If you buy a cheap one, chances are good that it won't hold up over time. When you wash the inside, remember to use horizontal strokes. However, when you wash outside windows, use vertical strokes. You use different strokes in order to tell which side has streaks.
Many professional window washers use cool, clear water. For especially dirty windows, try adding two to three tablespoons of vinegar per gallon of water. Vinegar is a good cleaning solution for many surfaces, and it's not expensive.
After washing your windows, it is time to dry them. An inexpensive way to dry them is to use crumpled newspaper. This works like any kind of paper towel that you have used in the past. In order not to get ink on your hands, use rubber gloves.
Since you are already washing the windows, you might as well clean the windowsills. Before vacuuming the sill, you can dust it off with a clean paintbrush. Rubbing alcohol can help remove spots.
Have fun!
