Indoor window cleaners 

Need to know how to clean windows the best way? The type of window cleaner you use makes a difference. We recommend specific window cleaning products as part of our window cleaning tips. It’s best to use a microfiber cloth when cleaning windows for a streak-free finish. They pick up dirt better than old cloths and paper towels.

Homemade window cleaner

Homemade window cleaning solutions often mix water and mild dishwashing soap. You can fill a 5-gallon bucket with warm water and add a teaspoon of Infinity approved mild dishwashing soap.

Infinity lists vinegar as an approved window cleaner. Use distilled white vinegar with 5% acidity. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which helps break down dirt, grease, and mineral deposits. The acid in vinegar makes it easier to remove those. A one-to-one mixture of distilled white vinegar and warm water works best for dirt buildup.

*Although overspray of these solutions is safe, never use a pressure washer directly on any part of a window or door.
