THIS IS MY FIRST POST. iM 21 YEARS OLD AND HAVE ESTABLISHED A WINDOW CLEANING BUSINESS 2 YEARS AGO, BUT DIDNT DO MUCH WITH IT UNTILL ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO AFTER BEING LAID OFF. ANYWAYS…
IT SEEM AS THO AFTER I FINISH SQUEEGEEING THE WINDOW, I AM ALWAYS FACING A NEW CHALLENGEL. IM TALKING ABOUT WATER SPOTS ON THE EDGES OF THE WINDOWS. I WIPE THEM DOWN AND STILL HAVE EITHER STREAKS OR THE SAME WATERSPOTS. I KNOW ITS NOT HARD WATER. IT TENDS TO COME OFF WITH A FRESH MICROFIBER RAG. ANY SUGGESTIONS???
[MENTION=1]Chris[/MENTION], aren’t all-caps supposed to get filtered automatically?
Try using a huck towel as opposed to a microfiber. Microfiber rags can smear as where huck towels can be better at absorbing
Thats your problem, Microfibers are not good for detailing the edges after you squeegee the window, buy your self blue huck towels like mentioned above… Aka (surgical towels) that will solve your problem.
All that they said. Don’t use soap when you laundry the huck towels.
thank you all so much for the help
God bless 
Exactly…^. What mole said!!!

Interesting. I also have used soap but also do a second rinse and never had an issue.
I do use the cheap stuff and I don’t use any soap that has “extras” like downy
What all the guys before me said plus check out this thread to: http://windowcleaner.com/vBulletin/residential-window-cleaning/36668-45-degree-channel-means-less-work.html
We use a small amount of laundry detergent when we wash ours and it’s never been a problem, the biggest thing to avoid is fabric softener.

We only use bleach, just to kill the stank.
Q: What do you use huck rags for if you are a window cleaner???
A: Wiping edges (detailing windows)
Q: What’s in the solution that you use to detail the windows???
A: Some kind of window cleaning soap!!! (dish soap, or professional window cleaning solutions)
Q: Why do window cleaners use dish soap or special window cleaning solutions???
A: Because unlike laundry soap and softeners that can leave a residue behind they are made to be spot free just like on your dishes so dish soaps are less likely to leave residue.
Q: So why not add soap to a load of used huck rags???
A: Because they already have soap on them from detailing. And the soap that is on them is not only enough to get them CLEAN, but it won’t leave residue on your rags.
Q: what is your Paypal address so we can donate to your awesome interview brandon???
A: That won’t be necessary.

it may just be me but my rags don’t have enough soap in them to do the job.
Why are you yelling at us?
I use a small amount of detergent and don’t have any trouble with smears.
