How Do You Get Rid of Streaky Windows?

Cleaning windows is never a fun chore. If you want to remove drool stains, you will have to be persistent with your cleaning. Take time to clean your windows at least once a week. When those nose prints and drool stains build up, they can be harder to remove if you allow them to stay on the glass. 

Cleaning windows can be a daunting task for many people, especially every week. For those who don’t have the time or have multiple windows, consider hiring a professional cleaning team for the job. These cleaning professionals will come to your home and wash every smudge from the windows. You can even set your own schedule, from once a month to a weekly service.

However, if you insist on cleaning those windows yourself, take a look at these tips. 

Allow the Cleaning Solution To Work

Cleaning slobber from the glass can be difficult. You will want to let the cleaner sit for about a minute. That gives the solution plenty of time to penetrate the drool marks and nose prints, making it easy to wipe away. By allowing the cleaner to work, you don’t have to use elbow grease to remove those streaks.

While you might be tempted to use paper towels, consider using a squeegee. These little tools can cut down on the time it takes to clean the glass. Plus, you don’t have to go through rolls of paper towels. You will only have to replace squeegee blades.

After spraying the cleaning solution and letting it sit, start working with that squeegee. You will want to go from the top to the bottom, taking a towel to dry off the squeegee’s edge. After each pass, you can avoid streaks on the window by wiping down the blade. Some professional cleaners recommend that you use the squeegee from side to side rather than a top to bottom motion. But the choice is up to you. Use enough pressure to ensure you don’t leave any residue or streaks behind on the window.

Choose Your Cleaning Solution

You don’t need any special solution to remove the drool from your window. It only takes a few ingredients to make your own solution: mix equal parts of white distilled vinegar and warm water. Just pour it into a spray bottle and clean the drool away. This solution will not leave a film or streaks, and it is strong enough to penetrate that buildup.

Tip: Never clean your windows in direct sunlight. Windows will dry faster in the sun, which can leave streaks behind on the glass.  

Use a Special Sponge

Regular cleaning might not be enough to remove all of that drool. In that case, you can eliminate saliva by using products like a Magic Eraser. The melamine foam can work to remove any excess buildup on your windows. You can use most of these products on all surfaces, but make sure not to apply too much pressure on the window.

How Do You Get Dog Saliva Off Tinted Windows?

With tinted windows, you want to be careful with your cleaning techniques. You can use the same tools and cleaning solution, but be cautious. If you apply too much pressure, you might remove some of that tint from the window. 

How Do You Keep Dogs Off Glass Doors?

While cleaning your windows takes off the slobber, you probably want to find ways to prevent your dog from licking them. If you have a couch or another piece of furniture near the window, move it away from that spot. In some situations, your dog might be bored and want to lick the window. When they don’t have access to the glass, you don’t have to worry about nose prints or drool stains. 

There are some over-the-counter products that you can spray on the window. These solutions have a bitter taste, stopping your dog’s window-licking habit. Another solution is to always keep the windows clean. If there is leftover slobber on the glass, your dog might want to lick those spots.
