The old method of cleaning dirt from windows is simple: vinegar, water, newspapers and a lot of elbow grease. It’s pretty effective and works well until the next rain shower. Then it just gets dirty again. By that time you probably have a weird case of cleaning tennis elbow.
Streaks on windows are caused by several factors: pollen, insect droppings or small insect bodies and of course, dust. When it rains, the water and dirt bind to cause dirty streaks that we have become familiar with. Impurities in rain and snow can also cause dirt stripes on your windows. When left alone long enough, they morph into these mutant dirt piles that only come out after an hour or so of constant rubbing. The best way to keep your windows streak-free is prevent what causes those streaks in the first place. Clean windows remain clean even after rain or snow. The rain just slides right down the glass.
Microfiber glass towels can keep glass so clean that streaks can’t happen in the first place. This is because they leave no dust for the rain to adhere to on windows or any outdoor glass. The fibers act like a windshield wiper, lifting pollen and particles straight off the glass and onto the cloth.
But what if you forgot to clean your windows? Or just plain leave them alone until they get dirty? You break out the cleaning liquid and set to scrubbing, only to find that you’ve created—more streaks. Usually they’re white soap streaks left by the window cleaner or your soap solution. No matter how much you try to get it clean, there’s always a streak somewhere. You’re left attacking that stubborn streak in the corner that refuses to disappear no matter what you do.
Microfiber glass towels can clean your windows without leaving any streaks, even when used with liquid. They are made of thousands of tiny tightly woven fibers finer than human hair. Microfiber glass towels are lightweight and made especially for cleaning glass. Regular cotton or rag cloths can leave lint or thread on your windows but microfiber leaves them nice and clean.
When used on dry dust surfaces, microfiber’s positive ion charge magnetizes dust. This static charge actually binds dust to the glass towels. This eliminates the need to use soap on windows and glass. Most detergents and liquid cleaning solvents leave a thin film of soap behind even when washed properly. This are the remains of fatty acids that are used to make the soap. This can be even harder to remove than the dirt itself. Like rain or snow, it sometimes sticks to the dirt on the window, creating more streaks. Water stains and spots are also caused by dirt and water binding on the surface of the glass.
When microfiber towels are dampened, they actually lift grease, dirt and soap films from glass, leaving the window streak-free and clear. It can be used with or without window cleaner, damp or dry. Perfect for keeping the windows in your house and car squeaky clean.
