Learn How to Clean Glass Like a Pro – No more Streaks!

If your glass-cleaning results still show streaks, haze, or lint — it's not your effort, it's your approach. Many cleaning pros unknowingly waste time and energy using the wrong tools, products, or even cleaning at the wrong time. The good news? There’s a smarter, faster method that delivers crystal-clear results — and it starts with how you assess and clean each surface.

Assess the Glass Before Cleaning

Before you spray anything, pause and take a quick look:

• Is it greasy from fingerprints?

• Or covered in dust, dirt, or buildup?

If it’s visibly dirty or dusty, do a quick dry or damp pre-wipe to remove loose debris.

If it’s just smudges or oils, go straight in with your glass cleaner.

Skipping this assessment leads to smearing, wasted product, and frustration. This quick step sets the stage for a flawless finish.

Why Vinegar, Alcohol & Newspaper Aren’t the Best Options

A lot of people reach for vinegar or alcohol as a non-toxic DIY solution — and some even swear by old newspaper for wiping. But here’s why these methods fall short, especially for professional use:

• Vinegar is acidic and doesn’t have degreasing power — it often smears oils instead of removing them.

• Alcohol evaporates quickly, which can lead to uneven cleaning and streaks, especially on larger surfaces.

• Newspaper may have worked decades ago, but today's papers often contain coatings and soy-based inks that can transfer to glass — and let’s be honest, it’s messy and outdated.

Use the Right Product — Why Blue Juice Is a Game-Changer

General-purpose cleaners often leave behind streaks because they contain soaps or oils that cling to glass. Blue Juice, our professional-grade, non-toxic glass cleaner, was designed specifically for speed and spotless results.

• Fast-drying, streak-free formula

• No residue or haze

• Cuts through grease with ease

• Non-toxic and safe for pros and clients (Ammonia free & Odorless)

• Concentrated formula = less plastic, less waste (1 Bottle = 20 Refills)

Microfiber Quality Makes All the Difference

The cloth is just as important as the cleaner.
Use a premium microfiber cloth — these glide effortlessly across glass, are ultra-absorbent, and leave zero lint.

Avoid fluffy or textured microfiber. They retain too much moisture and often cause streaking.

Pro Tip: Fold your cloth into quarters and flip to a clean side as you go. When it’s damp or dirty, switch to a fresh one.

Consider a Squeegee 

For large glass surfaces, a squeegee can be a game-changer. It removes cleaner and moisture efficiently, helping prevent streaks — and makes the job faster.

Use the microfiber cloth to wipe the blade between passes for best results.

 Master the Technique

• Spray lightly and evenly with Blue Juice.
  

• Wipe using an S-pattern, starting at the top and working downward.

• Wipe with a dry microfiber cloth until the glass is completely dry.
  If you don’t dry it thoroughly, streaks will be left behind.
  Use a very dry cloth — otherwise, you won’t achieve a perfect result and will waste time and energy.

✓  S-pattern helps push dirt and product off the surface cleanly.
✓  Avoid circular motions, which spread residue unevenly and cause swirls or missed spots.

Finish by buffing the surface with a dry section of your cloth.

 Clean at the Right Time

Timing matters. To avoid streaks caused by premature drying:

• Avoid clean glass in direct sunlight

• Avoid humid conditions like after mopping or a hot shower

 Should You Use Distilled Water?

If you’re in an area with hard tap water, the minerals can leave behind white spots or streaks — especially when using diluted cleaners.

In these cases, swap to distilled water for a cleaner, mineral-free finish.

Avoid Using Paper Towels

They leave lint, waste time, and generate trash.

If you're still using them, you’re doing twice the work for half the quality.

They consume more paper, generate more waste, and aren't cost-effective in the long run. Switching to premium microfiber isn’t just about better results — it’s about embracing a smarter, more sustainable mindset.

Final Thoughts: It’s All About the Method

Sparkling glass isn’t about scrubbing harder — it’s about working smarter.

When you clean with method, you don’t chase perfection — you achieve it. Train your team to follow the same system, and you’ll unlock consistency, speed, and results that shine every single time.
