How to Keep Your Windows Looking Cleaner Between Professional Visits

Posted: June 29, 2025

Even after a professional window cleaning, life happens — dust blows in, bugs do their thing, and the weather plays rough. At Window Cleaning Magic, we get it. That’s why we’re sharing a few simple, down-to-earth tips to keep your windows looking great in between your scheduled cleanings.

1. Mind the Screens

Dust and pollen build up on your window screens, and when it rains, that grime transfers straight onto the glass. If you’ve got a garden hose and 10 minutes, a gentle rinse (away from the window) can go a long way.

2. Trim Back Trees and Bushes

Branches brushing against your windows = sap, leaves, and bug trails. Keeping them trimmed gives your windows some breathing room and reduces buildup.

3. Watch Out for Sprinklers

If your sprinkler hits your windows, it’s not just water — it’s minerals too. That’s where those nasty hard water spots come from. Adjust your sprinkler head so it waters the yard, not your windows.

4. Use a Microfiber Cloth — Not Windex

For the occasional smudge, grab a dry microfiber cloth. Skip the blue spray — it can attract more dust. A quick swipe now and then keeps things tidy without streaks.

5. Stick to a Regular Cleaning Schedule

Nothing beats professional cleaning. A regular schedule — like every 4 weeks with our ResiRoute service — keeps buildup from becoming a problem and saves you time.

What We Use: Huck Towels from the Medical Field

At Window Cleaning Magic, we don’t cut corners — we detail every edge of your window using real huck towels sourced from the medical field.

• Lint-free
• Absorbent as all get-out
• Reusable and tough as nails

We buy these by the pound, fold them into tight quarters, and use fresh edges for every glass we touch. It’s one of the small details that makes a big difference.
