How to Keep Your Windows Clean Between Professional Visits: The Complete Oklahoma Homeowner’s Guide

Posted August 11th, 2025

Keeping your windows spotless between professional cleanings doesn’t have to feel like a chore — especially if you live in Oklahoma City, Norman, Moore, Shawnee, Harrah, Midwest City, or Newalla, where dust, pollen, and unpredictable weather are part of everyday life.

Follow these pro tips from Window Cleaning Magic LLC to keep your glass crystal-clear until your next scheduled visit.

1. Dust Window Sills and Frames Weekly
Oklahoma winds carry dust and debris that settle quickly on your sills and frames. If you don’t remove it, rain or condensation will turn that dust into mud — which can drip right down onto your glass.

Pro tip: Use a soft brush or microfiber cloth to gently wipe away buildup once a week. Don’t forget the corners where dust hides.

2. Mind the Screens
Dirty screens are a sneaky culprit — the grime clings to mesh, and the first rain will wash it right onto your windows.

• Remove and rinse screens with a garden hose (away from the window)
• Let them dry completely before reinstalling

Want spotless screens without the hassle? We offer professional screen cleaning as an add-on service to any window cleaning job. Our screen cleaning machine hooks up to your outdoor faucet and scrubs both sides of the mesh at once, removing dust, pollen, and stuck-on debris in seconds. Clean screens mean cleaner glass and a longer-lasting shine.

3. Trim Back Trees and Bushes
Branches brushing against your glass leave sap, bug trails, and scratches. Keep vegetation trimmed at least a few feet away from your windows to cut down on both dirt and damage.

4. Watch Out for Sprinklers
If your sprinklers hit your windows, you’re spraying more than water — you’re coating them with minerals. That’s how hard water stains form, and those are stubborn.

Quick fix: Adjust your sprinkler heads so they water the yard, not the glass.

5. Spot Clean Fingerprints and Smudges
For fingerprints, pet nose prints, and random smudges:

• Mix a 1:1 solution of vinegar and water
• Lightly mist the smudge and wipe with a lint-free microfiber cloth

Skip the paper towels — they leave lint — and avoid over-spraying cleaner, which can cause streaks.

6. Clean at the Right Time of Day
Direct sunlight makes cleaning solutions dry too fast, leaving streaks. The best times for streak-free results in Oklahoma are early mornings or evenings.

7. Maintain Window Tracks
Dirty or clogged tracks can undo all your hard work. Vacuum or wipe them down every few weeks to prevent debris from transferring back to the glass.

8. Use the Right Tools
For home touch-ups, invest in:

• A quality rubber-blade squeegee
• Lint-free microfiber cloths
• A small detailing brush for corners and edges

These are the same tools our team uses to get a professional finish.

9. Our Secret Weapon: Surgical-Grade Huck Towels
At Window Cleaning Magic, we detail every window with authentic huck towels — surgical-grade towels originally designed for the medical field. We buy them by the pound, wash and sanitize them thoroughly, and then put them to work in the field.

Why they’re unbeatable for window cleaning:

• Lint-free — no fuzz left behind on your glass
• Highly absorbent — perfect for pulling drips out of corners
• Reusable and tough — built to handle heavy, daily use

We fold each towel into tight quarters, using a fresh, clean edge for every pass. Whether we’re spotting smudges, wiping sills, or detailing edges after a rinse, these towels are the secret to our crisp, streak-free finish.

10. Know When to Call the Pros
If your windows are:

• Hard to reach
• Covered in mineral deposits or stubborn stains
• In need of full restoration
• Or your screens are long overdue for a deep machine wash

…it’s time to book a professional cleaning. Our screen cleaning add-on will leave your mesh looking brand new, and our 7-Day Rain Guarantee and 100% Satisfaction Guarantee mean your windows stay perfect — or you don’t pay a dime.
